Looking for help with the website

We are looking for volunteers to help with our website. If you are interested in volunteering, or just have questions, please email Jenny Tsai 05 at jenny.tsai [at] princeton [dot] org [dot] uk.

The Princeton Charitable Foundation

If you are living in the UK and would like to make a donation to Annual Giving, or any of the University's other charitable campaign projects, Princeton University can now claim back the tax if alumni sign a Gift Aid form. We urge you to do this as this substantially increases the size of the donation. Please contact company secretary Eileen Flood on eileen_flood [at] blueyonder [dot] co [dot] uk 020 7502 2813

New for dues paying members

Dues paying members have use of the facilities at Dartmouth House, 37 Charles Street, London W1J 5ED. This magnificent mansion in the heart of Mayfair includes a restaurant, bar and courtyard, members' room and library. Simply show your Princeton Association UK card at the front desk. To pay your dues visit our membership page

Volunteers

We are looking for volunteers to help on our events committee, young alumni committee, and schools committee. We are also looking for a new host for the popular Princeton summer picnic, ideally within 90 minutes of London.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact president [at] princeton [dot] org [dot] uk

Housing Help!

We often receive requests from alumni for help finding housing. London is a difficult city in which to find space, but we are not able to maintain a list of alums willing to host visiting students or alumni. If you are not a current undergraduate then we would encourage you to join the princeton-in-the-uk mailing list via TigerNet see the instructions here .

Additionally, some students and alumni have had success with some of these locations:
