===Learning Centre===
In 1994, the Learning Centre library opened on the site of a former mirror factory. In 1996, the [[Trades Union Congress]] library collections, which had been established in 1922, were transferred there. It is the major research library for the study of all aspects of trade unions, collective bargaining and labour history, with both historical and contemporary coverage.<ref>[http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/services/sas/library-services/tuc/ Trades Union Congress Library Collections] London Metropolitan University (retrieved 1 March 2010)</ref>

===The Rocket===
The Great Hall was officially opened by the [[Lord Mayor of London]] in 1897, as a social and academic events space catering for dances and recitals. By 1929, a [[proscenium]] arch and stage were installed and it was renamed the Theatre, playing host to operas and theatrical productions. Throughout the 1980s, it was a solid fixture on the capital's gig circuit and an essential stop for touring bands. When [[electronic dance music]] and the club scene took hold at the turn of the decade, it was relaunched as the Rocket complex and became one of London's leading all-nighter venues.

The 1990s also saw the building divided vertically, creating its two separate floors. In 2015, the Great Hall had its name and grandeur restored, with the Rocket now referring exclusively to the ground floor café bar and adjacent courtyard garden.

===Vice-chancellors===
The vice-chancellor and chief executive was supported by the deputy vice-chancellor (academic) and the deputy vice-chancellor (research and development).

In 2000, the university awarded an honorary degree to [[Desmond Tutu]], Archbishop of Cape Town and primate of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, in a special ceremony.

Following the merger with London Guildhall (formerly the City of London Polytechnic), London Metropolitan became the largest unitary university in London.
