Charity halls of residence tend to be cheaper, but tend to get booked up far more quickly as a result. They generally offer fairly basic accommodation – clean but not in any way luxurious. Some of the halls listed below have a religious affiliation, but welcome students of all faiths (as well as those with no faith) and cultures. We have not visited these places and do not keep a check on whether they still have availability.
Ashwell House: female-only hall located in Islington, ages 18 - 25 only. Not very near any tube station but centrally located – on a direct bus route, allow 40 minutes for the entire journey.
Guy Chester Centre: located in Muswell Hill, in North London (allow 45 minutes for transport). Maximum age is 25 but exceptions can be made for postgraduate students
