No need for a map or GPS 🗺

Your Halls Committees are here to show you around your new area.

It’s important to know your local area if you want to feel connected to a community outside your hall - or just know where to get late-night groceries.

These tours are not that different from tourist walking tours of central London. Think student iconic attractions — the local coffee shops, late-night kebab shops, local parks, bus/train/tube stops, and Tesco 🤩. It’s also very important to know which pubs are open the latest. 👀

Just meet at your Hall's reception and your Halls Committees will take you around and show you all of these, as well as prepare a special brunch just for you. It's the perfect opportunity to get to know your local area and your new hallmates. 🙌🏼
