The [[LSE Students' Union]] (LSESU) is affiliated to the [[National Union of Students (United Kingdom)|National Union of Students]] and is responsible for campaigning and lobbying the school on behalf of students as well providing student support and the organisation and undertaking of entertainment events and student societies. It is often regarded as the most politically active in Britain – a reputation it has held since the well documented LSE student riots in 1966–67 and 1968–69,<ref>{{cite news |title=LSE Student Protests |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6299579.stm |date=31 May 2007 |access-date=6 January 2010 |work=BBC News |first=Lucy |last=Wilkins |archive-date=11 September 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070911203443/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6299579.stm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | title=On This Day – LSE Student Protests | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/13/newsid_2542000/2542639.stm | date=13 March 1967 | access-date=6 January 2010 | work=BBC News | archive-date=23 December 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101223221656/http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/13/newsid_2542000/2542639.stm | url-status=live }}</ref> which made international headlines. In 2015, the school was awarded the top spot for student nightlife by ''[[The Guardian]]'' newspaper<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/education/2014/dec/07/london-school-of-economics-best-university-nightlife |title=The London School of Economics: why is it the best uni for nightlife? |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |access-date=18 January 2016 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304235721/http://www.theguardian.com/education/2014/dec/07/london-school-of-economics-best-university-nightlife |url-status=live }}</ref> due in part to its central location and provision of over 200 societies, 40 sports clubs, a Raising and Giving (RAG) branch and a thriving media group. In 2013, the union moved into a purpose-built new building – the Saw Swee Hock Student Centre on the Aldwych campus.<ref>{{cite web|title=Saw Swee Hock Student Centre|url=http://www.lse.ac.uk/intranet/students/campusLondonLife/sweeHockStudentCentre/Home.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212035508/http://www.lse.ac.uk/intranet/students/campusLondonLife/sweeHockStudentCentre/Home.aspx|archive-date=12 December 2013|access-date=9 December 2013|publisher=London School of Economics}}</ref>
