Hotels and Guest Houses
The SOAS Accomodation Officer has kindly advised you go to http://summerbreaks.org where you may be able to book a room in Paul Robeson house, Manna Ash House or Alliance House.
If you are unable to secure accommodation via the above website, you may be able to book a room in one of the eight Inter-Collegiate halls of residence via http://www.halls.london.ac.uk/. You should click on 'Visitor Accommodation' to locate the different halls of residence you can choose from.
We also recommend the convenient and cheap SOAS student accommodation Dinwiddy House.
However, there are many hotels and guest houses in the area around SOAS. London can be expensive, especially in the Summer season. If you prefer something other than student accommodation, you can search for bed and breakfast online:
If you would like advice and assistance with hotels or guest houses in the SOAS area, please contact the ESS.
