Drop-ins
A drop-in stand in our busy student services building will allow you to raise your profile with our students and meet potential employees informally.
The relaxed environment lends itself to promoting your organisation to those passing by, as well as those who have already undertaken research and are eager to speak in more depth about your opportunities.
These events can be arranged as a one off activity or alternatively, you may wish to schedule in other sessions as part of your visit.

Further information
Drop-ins are located within the Forum building on the Streatham campus, in an area known as ‘The Street’.
The Forum is located at the heart of the campus making it an ideal location for high profile activity. It houses the main library, supermarket, coffee shops, Career Zone, seminar rooms, and a 435 seater auditorium. A busy space, it attract approximately 6,000 visitors each day, with students of any discipline passing through.
Take a 360 Virtual Tour of the Streatham Campus allowing you to take a closer look both inside and outside the Forum building.
Drop-ins consist of a table and two chairs, an electrical point, wifi and space for a banner stand.
Bookings are made throughout the autumn and spring term, with February usually our busiest period. We don't typically run them in the summer term due to students undertaking examinations. No events run in the first or last week of term.
Offered Monday – Friday, they can take place anytime between 09:00 - 17:00. Most organisations opt for a 10:30-14:30 or 11:30-15:30 slot but it is flexible and entirely to your choosing. We do, however, recommend that you cover the lunch period to maximise student attendance and ask that your event is booked for a minimum two hours.
Please note the earliest you are able to set up your drop-in is from 08:00.
Drop-ins are advertised via:
- The Career Zone website
- Handshake, our internal events platform
- An email circular to over 20,000 Streatham and St Luke’s campus students
- Via our social media channels.
- Faculty-based marketing, where relevant
- Book early to secure your preferred date – the most popular slots (especially in October, November, and February) fill up quickly.
- Maximise your publicity – booking in advance gives us more time to promote your event to students.
- Notice required – a minimum of 4 weeks’ notice is needed for all events, and at least 8 weeks ahead of high-demand periods (October, November, February).
Drop-ins start from £175+VAT. Charges include marketing as outlined above and support from our team on the day.
