Accommodation
The college can offer overnight accommodation next door to its main building in St Andrew's Place. The 15 bedrooms are part of the original Nash architecture.
The accommodation is ideal if you are coming to a meeting in London, or simply want a couple of days sightseeing in the capital. Situated opposite Regent's Park, the college is close to major tourist attractions like London Zoo and Madame Tussauds. It is only a couple of underground stops away from the West End for theatres, cinemas, restaurants and shops.
Close to the hub but not the hubbub, 9 and 10 St Andrews Place are at the end of a tranquil cobbled street, and in the evening the view from the private lounge across to the park down the floodlit Nash terrace looks much as it did when the street was built. After a hard day's work (or even sightseeing!), a relaxing walk to the famous Rose Garden or lake in Regent's Park will certainly build up a healthy appetite before dinner.
Members and Fellows of the college have priority over the rooms during busy periods, but we also accept members of other faculties and colleges whenever possible.
