This is when all this year’s London Varsity events are
We have all the deets
Maria OrlandoThe schedule for the 2019 London Varsity series has been released and UCL is already shaking. Get ready for a week of drunken cheering in the sidelines.
It doesn’t matter whether you live for Wednesday matches or don’t even know there were sporting clubs at King’s, Varsity is for anyone that enjoys a little bit of exaggerated rivalry.
In fair London where we lay our scene, the Varsity events will run from Friday 8th March to Friday 15th March. Put these dates in your diaries, type them into your phone, carve them onto your bedroom wall – anything will do. Make sure you don’t miss them!
