Summary
Connaught Hall was established in 1919 by HRH Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and
Strathearn — the third son of Queen Victoria — at 18 Torrington Square as a private
hall of residence for male students, a memorial to the Duchess of Connaught, who
died in 1917. The Duke gave the Hall to the University of London in 1928, but it
was not until 1961 that Connaught Hall moved out of Torrington Square to its present
location in Tavistock Square: a converted Georgian terrace with a Grade II listed
façade.
During term time, Connaught Hall accommodates 212 full time students of the various
colleges and institutes of the University of London. Once the students have departed
from the Hall however, we are able to offer accommodation for rent; from early June
to late August.
As can be seen on the location map, the Hall is very centrally located in London
with most of the major attractions within walking distance or a short bus or tube
ride away. It is also very convenient for many of the University of London Colleges
as well. The nearest Underground stations are Russell Square, and Euston Square
and Euston, St Pancras and Kings Cross mainline stations are not far away.
