Imperial College London currently has twenty principal Halls of Residence almost exclusively in the South Kensington and Chelsea areas of London.[1]

Their availability is generally prioritised for new first-year undergraduate students of Imperial, although there are hall seniors and wardens, who are usually more senior undergraduate students and some postgraduates.

Facilities

The halls situated in Central London have convenient access to the buzzing social life of London, close to local amenities such as Hyde Park, Royal Albert Hall, the Natural History Museum etc.

Also available to Imperial College students is a new state-of-the-art gym, located near the Garden, Weeks and Southside halls, named Ethos.

Beit Hall in particular is located next to the Royal Albert Hall, and is directly north of the Imperial College South Kensington campus, and therefore is the closest halls of residence. The Beit courtyard (known as the 'Quadrangle') and a large part of its north wing comprise the Imperial College Union building.
