LONDON BALL 2026
The London Ball 2026 will be a scintillating celebration bringing together alumni, partners, and friends from across the globe.
The London Ball Foundation aims to serve society by supporting youth-focused initiatives and enabling Hong Kong’s development as a global education hub.
This year’s Ball proudly honours the 200th anniversary of UCL (UCL200), recognising two centuries of innovation, inclusion, and academic excellence in London. Students from Hong Kong were registered on courses at UCL as early as 1910.
We are also delighted to partner with the British Council to host the prestigious Study UK Alumni Awards, which are returning this year and will be presented during the ceremony in recognition of outstanding global achievement by UK‑educated alumni in Hong Kong

Congratulatory Message
Professor Karen Stanton, Vice Chancellor, University of the Arts London
On behalf of University of the Arts London, I am delighted to send my warmest greetings to everyone attending the London Ball 2026 in Hong Kong.
UAL is proud to be part of a global community of creators, innovators and change-makers. Our alumni network spans more than 130 countries, and it is always inspiring to see how our graduates continue to shape culture, industry and society in meaningful and imaginative ways.
Hong Kong holds a special place within our international community. The strength and energy of the UAL Hong Kong alumni network is a testament to the creativity, collaboration and generosity of its members. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the UAL Hong Kong Alumni Association for the vital role they play in bringing people together, supporting one another, and championing the values we share.
The London Ball is a wonderful celebration of connection across the UK’s leading universities, and of the powerful impact that alumni communities can have both locally and globally. It is also an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the achievements of graduates whose work continues to inspire the next generation.
I hope you have a memorable and enjoyable evening, and I thank you for your continued support of UAL and our wider alumni community.
