The best view EVER! Come with Aisha and Jeanne to climb our beautiful, newly reopened Queen’s Tower!

POV: you’re climbing the Queen’s Tower on reopening day! Phew, what a view!

Our Queen’s Tower is back! After restoration works lasting over three years, our beautiful tower is reopening today. Built to mark Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887, the tower opened in 1893 in a ceremony attended by the Queen herself.

Tomorrow an Imperial icon returns: The Queen’s Tower. She's been hidden away under scaffolding due to construction the past few years but tomorrow will be her big unveiling. Thank you to past students sending in their pictures and stories featuring the Queen's Tower - we've loved hearing them.

🚀 Inside the Lab: Can we use water as a spaceship propellant? Spaceships use the noble gas argon as a propellant in the vacuum of space. But it’s increasingly expensive and in short supply. So Imperial PhD student Freddy Bayliss is experimenting with water as a cheap, sustainable alternative...

Happy Vaisakhi to everyone celebrating today 🌾 Wishing you a beautiful start to the harvest season.

Happy Easter Sunday to everyone celebrating today 🐤

Happy Pesach to all our staff, students, alumni and friends celebrating Passover ✡️
