Zone29

Zone29 is a physical and digital space that connects Westminster’s diverse student talent with the world of business and its local community.

A revived nine-storey building, set to open in early 2026, will see students, alumni, businesses, organisations, colleagues and residents co-create in an inclusive, sustainable environment.

Through innovative training, facilities and career opportunities, we’ll inspire new jobs, enterprises and game-changing collaborations – in Westminster, London and beyond.

The central London location provides opportunities for local businesses, many of whom are leading multinationals, to tap into, mould, and empower the next generation of entrepreneurial talent and, in return, benefit from the knowledge they can impart from their educational journey at Westminster. The building will also become the home of many of Westminster’s most successful programmes, such as the Career Ready Mentoring scheme, Westminster Working Cultures and the WE Network. These projects and the organisations that choose to interact with the University will benefit from the state-of-the-art infrastructure and digital capabilities housed within this one transformational centre.

Hardship Fund

Scholarships

So many talented potential students miss out on a University education, simply because they do not have the funds to support the costs associated with tuition and living. For international students, or for those balancing family or work commitments alongside their studies, the pressures can be even greater.
