Most halls are provided with a quiet study room, cycle sheds, a garden, snooker-pool facilities and games machines. In addition to the King's halls, students from the University of London can apply for a place in an intercollegiate hall. There are seven of these situated close to the College. Full details on how to apply for a place at King's and the intercollegiate halls are sent out with a formal offer of a place at the College. While some students stay in a hall of residence for more than one year, the great majority do not wish to do so.
Most students see a hall of residence as a convenient base for establishing themselves in London.
This leads most students to seek a flat or house for rent that can be occupied all year round. The College manages a number of furnished and unfurnished flats and houses but many students find accommodation in the private sector. The Student Accommodation Office holds an extensive list of private flats, houses and bedsits, and offers advice on housing issues. Our closest hall is just over Waterloo Bridge, less than 10 minutes walk from the Department. Other halls are at Chelsea, Denmark Hill, Kensington, Tooting and Victoria, whilst there is a Student Village in Hampstead.
