Terms of LSE Summer School accommodation
Book online using your LSE Summer School username and password
You will receive those from the LSE Summer School Office. You'll need to log in with your LSE Summer School username and password to make a booking. Once you have those, we recommend you book your accommodation straight away.
Booking shared rooms
To share a room, all students must be attending the LSE Summer School. Each student needs to complete the booking process separately. If you would like us to allocate you with another student(s), all students must book the same room type, in the same hall, for the same dates.
Twin rooms can be shared by students of the same sex only. If you feel you have exceptional circumstances that you would like us to consider, please specify these in the "Allocation Requests" field at the time you make your booking.
To enable us to match roommates, both students must list each other as their preferred roommate at the time of booking. Please note that any roommate requests must be made at least 1 week prior to arrival.
Booking Prep English course accommodation
Our dedicated hall for Preparatory English course accommodation is Bankside House. Bankside House is only available for Prep English courses. That means that you will need to move from Bankside House to the hall that you've booked for the main session when the main session starts. All halls are in Central London, so you won't have to travel far.
