Food policy

During normal study use in all rooms, cold snacks, covered hot drinks and bottled cold drinks are permitted. Please be mindful of other users by clearing rubbish and food/drinks spills immediately. Hot food may only be consumed in the kitchen.

The Postgraduate Common Room and Terrace provides comfortable relaxed seating for individual and social study. The adjacent kitchen is equipped with high top tables and a microwave. Booking for events is available where this supports postgraduate students via networking or learning activities, or for events managed through the Queen Mary Events Team on behalf of the Principal's Office.

The Terrace is closed during normal daytime use of the Common Room unless through specific arrangement with the Library (for example during booked events) and where the use is supervised. This is the result of a series of incidents, and an identified risk to personal safety. 

During booked events through the Events Office, hot or cold catering provided by the institutional catering service is permitted so long as the catering is cleared away and the room returned to normal use as soon as possible at the end of the event.

How to book

• Events booking is open to postgraduate students and staff arranging events that directly benefit postgraduate students. Some additional events are booked during evening hours only via the Events Team where these relate to the wider University.
