In 1952 the University of London Union and the University of London Athletic Union became one body under the title University of London Union. Three years later the first stage of the Union building was opened in Malet Street. The Union Building is open to all members of the Union and contains a restaurant, bar, sports facilities, an Assembly Hall and rooms for Union members.

The Union provides for social, cultural, intellectual and recreational student activity on a University and intercollegiate basis, supplementing the facilities of the College Unions. The Union also represents the views of students to University authorities and to outside bodies and elects student members of various University committees. The Union also publishes it own newspaper. Originally called the Sennet, the name was changed to London Student in 1980.

In 1923 a movement was started to acquire a University Athletic Ground and University Boat House. An Appeal was issued, to which the then Chancellor, Lord Rosebery, gave £5000. With the subscriptions received in response to this Appeal, supplemented by grants from general university funds, a site was bought for the Athletic Ground at Motspur Park and for the Boat House at Chiswick. The athletic Ground was opened in 1931 and the Boat House was opened by the then Chancellor, the Earl of Athlone, on 21 October 1937.

Students, who are elected annually by the student body from all colleges, schools and institutes of the University of London, administer the University of London Union. In 1988 the student officers of the Union were, the President, Vice President (Finance and Administration), Vice President (Services), Chairperson General Union Council, and a President, Chairperson and junior Treasurer for both the Sports Council and Societies Council. Senior Treasures of the Union and administrative staff also serve the Union.
