Harrow Hall
Designed to harmonise with the environment, the on-campus complex offers exciting accommodation consisting of self-contained units arranged in small, purpose-built, low-rise blocks, all surrounded by shrubbery and green lawns.

Each unit has its own front door, lobby and cluster single bedrooms with en-suite facilities. There are also double units, as well as twin-bedded rooms for those who will share.

The campus was specially designed to give easy access to those with physical disabilities, and some of the rooms have facilities converted for wheelchair use.

A short bus ride takes you into Harrow and its lively town centre, where students can find a wide range of shops, an art centre and a multiplex cinema.

Marylebone Hall
The hall is a modern, 21-storey building attached to Marylebone Campus, one of the main teaching sites at the University of Westminster.

The hall offers 12 premier rooms, 12 penthouse rooms, 188 standard rooms and 10 shared rooms, all with en-suite facilities, built-in wardrobes, desks and internet connection. Kitchens are shared by a maximum of six students and contain a cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster.

Premier rooms are located on the 20th floor and offer breathtaking panoramic views of Regent’s Park and much of central London. These rooms benefit from an array of additional and premium features, including flat-screen televisions and luxury soft furnishings. Kitchens on this floor come equipped with crockery, pans and utensils, and are fitted with dishwashers, washing machines, tumble dryers, Xbox 360s and large flat-screen televisions.

Penthouse rooms offer all of the advantages of the premier rooms, with the added distinction of being at the very top of the building, with some of the finest views in central London. The rooms also have televisions with DVD player, an in-room fridge, and tea- and coffee-making facilities.

Regent’s Park, noted for its green open spaces, colourful floral displays, football pitches, tennis court, boating lake and London Zoo, is a five-minute walk away, and it's only a short bus journey to Hyde Park.

Alexander Fleming Hall
Located on the edge of the Square Mile, the original City of London and the most historic part of London, the hall is within walking distance of the financial district and various famous sights, including St Paul's Cathedral, the Royal Courts of Justice and the Barbican Centre, Europe's largest performing arts centre.

The hall consists of three separate, purpose-built, low-rise modern blocks offering good quality self-contained units with their own front door and lobby. Each unit has four, six or eight single rooms with washbasins, a modern and well-equipped kitchen for self-catering, and two or three bathrooms depending on size.

The one-bedroom flat is a fully self-contained flat located on the 1st floor overlooking the square, with separate kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom is furnished with a double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers. The lounge is furnished with a double sofa bed, arm chair and coffee table. The Kitchen is equipped with kitchen units, sink, fridge/freezer, electric cooker, kettle, toaster and microwave.

The kitchens are supplied with a cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, and toaster. They also have facilities for ironing, and there is a coin-operated launderette nearby.

iQ Raffles House
All rooms are en-suite and the building is split into flats of six rooms, with each flat sharing a well-equipped kitchen with attached living area. The bedrooms all have 4ft beds as well as a desk and storage space.

As our main first-year residence there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know people and to get fully involved in student life.

Raffles House is owned and managed by iQ Student Accommodation on behalf of the University of Westminster.

The hall is on the same development as Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena, so there is always a lot going on. Raffles House is also only two stops from Harrow Campus, where the Students' Union is based. The shops of Wembley are a short walk away and provide a range of local options.
