Imperial College Halls of Residence
The college in recent years has enacted a policy of moving accommodation provision from central London to North Acton.[5][6][7] All halls are self-catered.[8]
South Kensington
Imperial's primary and traditional halls are located on its South Kensington campus.
- Beit Hall
- Eastside
- Linstead Hall
- Gabor Hall
- Wilkinson Hall
- Southside
- Falmouth Hall
- Selkirk Hall
- Tizard Hall
- Keogh Hall
North Acton
The North Acton halls are located away from Imperial's main South Kensington campus. The first buildings to open on the site was the Woodward Buildings, which opened in 2015 and have a rooftop garden.[13] This was followed by the 31-storey Kemp Porter Buildings, which topped out in 2019.[14] There have been local complaints about the appearance of the Woodward Buildings, as well as student complaints about the relocation of accommodation space to Acton.[7][15]
Wilson House
Wilson House is located near to Edgware Road and Paddington tube stations. Beside the 20 houses facing Sussex Gardens, the Wilson House complex also includes two houses on Southwick Street, and an Annexe located at the back of Wilson House.[16][17] Wilson House is a Grade-II listed building.[18] When not in use as an Imperial student residence from July to September, the hall is converted into a hostel for educational groups visiting London.[19]
