Even though I am at UCL now, I would just like to state that I think it so unfair that UCL and SOAS are located in such close proximity to these facilities. And more generally, I am annoyed that all ULU facilities are based at ULU.
In my undergrad days, going to ULU was more of an outing than a local convenience.
If they really reperesent the interests of all unis, why not base some of their stuff at/in other london unis.
(Just an idealistic general moan, not any expectations for change).
