In 2009, the long-established School of Continuing Education at Birkbeck, University of London, which specialised in extra-mural studies, was abolished and its activities integrated into the main college.

The following year, as part of this re-organisation, the number of part-time philosophy courses for adults was sharply reduced.

At lunchtimes, LSP students often gather at the open-air Park Café in Red Lion Square Gardens.
