I’ve just been to see how ‘our’ new hall of residence is coming along.

From September 2015, we are to have 484 beds in urbanest Westminster Bridge, a new hall of residence which is currently being built on the south side of Westminster Bridge, near County Hall and Waterloo station.

It’s just 25 minutes’ walk from campus, and it’s looking good – the structure is already up to level five of the planned 19 storey building.

Once finished, the hall will house a school, flexible workspace for ‘startup’ businesses, a gym, swimming pool, café and (most importantly) 1000+ bed spaces for students. So with our allocation, LSE students will be taking up almost half of these. For more details and updates, visit the urbanest student accommodation blog
