About the event

You are all invited to join us in London for one of the largest student Megaraids in the country!

London Loot offers you the opportunity to give your challenge total a fantastic boost! You will have access to some of the best collection permits in the country including overground stations across London and the City of London itself.

If you re fundraising against a trip or challenge you have the option to buy an accommodation ticket or a non-accommodation ticket. If you are simply fundraising for your RAG to raise money for MRF you do not need to pay to come to Loot.

As you will need to be in the generator at 5:30am to pick up your permit each day, we only recommend buying a non-accommodation ticket if you live close enough to the Generator Hostel to get there for 5:30am.

Tickets are first come, first served and as we only have a limited number available they will sell out fast!

Covid Guidance:

  • Everyone is reminded that COVID has not gone away and infection rates remain high throughout the UK and internationally. We will keep monitoring latest guidance and will update you should the situation require a change in our approach.
  • We encourage you to get vaccinated and if you are not up to date with your vaccine please do get vaccinated as soon as possible. This will help protect you and those you come into contact with.
  • Please undertake a lateral flow test before coming to Loot and bring proof of the result. If you test positive do not come to Loot.
  • Signs and symptoms have evolved over the last couple of years and can include cold-like symptoms. Therefore, if you are feeling unwell, even with a cold or cold-like symptoms, do not come to Loot.

Rag Collectors

As a Rag collector you have signed up to London Loot to fundraise for MRF and in return we can cover the cost of your accommodation. You will need to let us know whether you will be requiring accommodation or no accommodation during the event. We will provide you with buckets, seals and MRF stash as on the day so you do not need to bring any of this with you.

YES! If you have a friend that would like to fundraise on your behalf, then they are welcome to purchase a ticket. Please let us know where you would like the money they raise to be allocated to.
A.

We follow a simple rule: what goes in your bucket goes to your total!

A.

Your permit allows you to collect between 7am – 7pm, however we’d recommend you take breaks throughout the day!

The key times to collect are during rush hours which are:

  • 7-10am
  • 12-2pm
  • 4-7pm
A.

Permits are pre-allocated to make sure it’s fair; however if you are late to permit handout in the morning, you may lose your permit to someone else!

We do the allocation the night before, so unfortunately we aren’t able to let you know where you’ll be collecting sooner!

A.

  • London loot is a fantastic event where you not only have the opportunity to raise money for a fantastic cause but also meet all the wonderful people you will be taking on your summer challenge with.

  • Do not worry if yu don’t feel confident collecting, we all get nervous. We will be holding how-to sessions before the event as well as sharing all the tips and trick of what to do and not to do in our briefing.

A.

  • Anyone is welcome to attend, however, as we can’t cover travel costs, as an Irish student you will need to book your own flights

  • In order to make the most of the event, we’d recommend looking into booking an extra night at the Generator and flying back on April 15th

  • We also recommend that you follow the latest government advice in relation to Covid restrictions and safety - https://www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/c36c85-covid-19-coronavirus/

A.

  • When you check in on the day, we will ask you if you want to buddy up with another collector for the event and make sure you’re collecting with them!

  • Loot is a fantastic social event too! Chat with and get to know people collecting near you, you may even meet people who are taking on your challenge!

A.

If you friend is taking part in your challenge with you, you are more than welcome to buy a ticket for them.

In order to do this you will need their details, and their emergency contact details.
