LSE Passfield Hall has a great location in leafy Bloomsbury. It is well placed for the West End and all of the main attractions of central London. The British Museum and British Library are only a short walk away.

Passfield offers a unique mix of classic Georgian architecture and modern facilities in central London.

History to the present day

Passfield Hall was LSE's first residence, opened in 1948. It is named after the first Lord Passfield, Sidney Webb, one of the four members of the Fabian Society who founded LSE in 1895.

It is a prime example of the late Georgian Town Houses that characterise Bloomsbury. The building itself comprises ten houses around a courtyard garden. Seven houses make up the main block and three the two annexes. Given its grade II listed status some rooms can only be accessed by stairs and the building retains its single glazed wooden sash windows.

In 2006 the building underwent an extensive £7m refurbishment programme and now offers a unique mix of modern facilities and classic architecture.

Food and Drinks

Accommodation at Passfield comes with an excellent breakfast: you get a choice of six items from a range of continental and English options, plus tea, coffee, toast and juice.

Passfield has a number of restaurants and cafes nearby. It is also just ten minutes walk from Charlotte Street, one of London's most famous eating destinations. There is a huge range on offer from cheap and cheerful to top notch, Thai to Italian, with everything in between.

Vending machines are available 24 hours a day in the dining room.
