Visit
The best times to do this is on a Wednesday or Friday so that the visit can be combined with a visit to either the postgraduate seminar (held on Wednesdays) or the Departmental Seminars (Fridays). Both these events are followed by a visit to a pub, where visitors can talk with postgraduate students and (on Fridays) staff.
