Hendon and Archway campus halls

Usher_hall There are four halls associated with our flagship Hendon campus and our Archway campus: Usher Hall is adjacent to Hendon campus, while Writtle House and Platt Hall share a site approximately 20 minutes walk away from Hendon campus. Ivy Hall is also off-site, but is within easy reach via public transport from both Hendon and Archway campus.

Our Hendon campus halls all have shared kitchen facilities, a launderette, IT network access points (use included in the rent) and a security officer onsite overnight Monday to Friday, with 24-hour cover at weekends.
