Everything you see at Loop at midday

If there’s one thing that unites UCL students, it’s the classic Wednesday Sports Night at Loop Bar, just off Oxford Circus.

Dab for the Tab

Thinking it would be business as usual, I asked the bartender for three Jaeger-bombs but the withering look and shake of the head told me that was an evening special. We therefore had to resign ourselves to tap water…
