London Higher is an ‘umbrella’ body representing over 40 publicly funded universities and higher education colleges in London, and is the largest and most varied of the regional university associations in the UK.

London Higher is a membership organization that promotes and acts as an advocate for higher education (HE) in London. 

The organization currently runs six core programmes each with its own stream of research and advocacy activities, along with discrete projects.

Our outputs are diverse and include research reports, promotional material, meetings and workshops, parliamentary lobbying, media management and receptions. We also run a wide range of advisory groups and networks.

London Higher works closely with partner organizations including the London Development Agency (LDA), the Greater London Authority (GLA), London First and with the business sector. For an overview of our partners and stakeholders, download this PDF (0.4MB).
