General information

From January 2024, the following essential upgrade projects will take place at High Holborn Hall of Residence:

Reception Upgrade: Complete upgrade including public foyer, Reception and the back office. This will deliver a modern Reception facility for guests and residents.

Accessible Room Refurbishments: Complete refurbishment of 3 flats on the mezzanine level to provide improved and flexible accessible accommodation for our guests.

LSE and our Contractor will work to minimise the impacts on guests, however, some disruption is expected due to the nature of the projects. For both projects, there will be some noise in the adjacent flats while work takes place and construction workers will be visible in the hall. Working hours are generally 8am to 5pm, with noisy working (e.g. drilling etc) only permitted between the hours of 10am and 4pm to reduce the disruption as far as possible. While the Reception Upgrade takes place, temporary arrangements will be made to enable the team to continue to provide all reception services to guests.
High Holborn Residence offers single, twin, and double rooms with shared facilities.
Each room has its own washbasin, storage space, desk, and lamp.
Rooms are grouped in cluster flats for four to six people, sharing a kitchen and bathroom facilities. There are also a number of en suite bedrooms.
Breakfast is included in the fees.

Notes: none of the rooms are air-conditioned; electrical sockets are UK three-pin sockets, you may need an adaptor for your electrical items, view more information about UK sockets.

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

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. Please have the other person's details ready when you make the booking. You will need to enter their name and the payment needs be made by one of you. Both of you must be attending the same LSE Summer School sessions.

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.

Multi-session discount

If you book multiple consecutive sessions, then the connecting night from Saturday to Sunday is free of charge. So for one session you pay for 20 nights, and for two sessions you only pay for 40 nights but stay for 41 nights. And if you book all three sessions, then you can stay 62 nights but only pay for 60.
