London Higher is an ‘umbrella’ body representing nearly 50 universities and higher education colleges in London, as well as a range of alternative providers and campus centres. It is the largest and most varied of the regional university associations and networks in the UK. 

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

The organisation 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 organisations including Universities UK (UUK), the Greater London Authority (GLA), London&Partners, the London Chamber of Commerce and Investment, BusinessLDN and with other public and private sector partners.
