Accommodation for LSE Summer School 2020

Due to the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic we are no longer running Summer School in 2020. Dates below are for reference only. Read more about LSE Summer School's coronavirus response. 

Prep English One: 14 to 21 June
Session One: 21 June to 11 July

Prep English Two: 5 July to 12 July
Session Two: 12 July to 1 August

Prep English Three: 26 July to 2 Aug
Session Three: 2 to 22 August

Bankside House is our dedicated hall for Preparatory English course accommodation. It's only available for Prep English, that means that you will need to move from Bankside House to the other hall that you've booked when the main session starts.

All our halls are in Central London, so you won't have to travel far.

We don't allocate sharers on a random basis. But if you're attending LSE Summer School with someone else and would like to stay together, you can book a shared room.

• You need to enter the name of your friend when you book. Please have their details to hand when you make the booking.
• The payment needs be made by one of you, as we can't accept split payments.
• Both of you must be attending the same LSE Summer School sessions.

If you stay for several sessions in a row, the night in between is free of charge.

For example, if you stay for two sessions you stay for 41 nights but only pay for 40 nights, and for three sessions you stay for 62 nights and only pay for 60 nights.

The connecting nights in between are Saturday 11 July and Saturday 1 of August 2020. 

We accept payments by credit/debit card. You can pay by bank transfer, but there’s an extra charge and you won’t be able to book online. 

• Payment by credit or debit card - book online
  Enter your card details when you make the booking online. Your booking will be confirmed instantly (subject to the payment going through).
• Payment by bank/wire transfer - contact us to book
  If you want to pay by bank transfer, you need to contact us, as you won't be able to book online. We'll check that you've been offered a place at the Summer School before we can make the booking for you. Then we'll send you an invoice with our bank details. You need to pay and provide us with proof of your payment (remittance advice) within 48 hours of receipt of the invoice. To cover our admin costs, we will add a £10.00 charge for bank transfers.

Accommodation update
