Accommodation
The course is non-residential. You will need to arrange your own accommodation in London if necessary.
We recommend 'UoL Accommodates'. We advise that if you book through this website you choose to stay at either College Hall or Connaught Hall; both 5 minutes walk away from UCL campus, or International Hall which is 10 minutes walk away. The rooms cost from £50.00 per night. We can provide you with a list of other accommodation (varying rates) within walking distance of the summer school on request. Alternatively please try the UCL accommodation page which provides a number of suggestions for visitors to UCL. If you prefer university accommodation rather than a hotel, then we advise you to arrange this as soon as possible because it can get booked up quite early.
