London Higher, which represents education providers in the UK capital, held its inaugural awards in London this week to shine a light on members’ successes and the outstanding quality of HE on offer.

The evening featured electrifying musical performances from students at Guildhall School of Music & Drama and Urdang – City, University of London, as well as filming and photography by students from Middlesex University London and a compere from Rose Bruford College.

University College London and King’s College London were among the winners and highly commended entrants across 12 categories, which recognised excellence in sustainability leadership, research and knowledge exchange, enhancing the overseas student experience in London, and lots more.
