Overview

Queen Mary University of London, offers visitors accommodation within its student village bordering Regent's Canal in Mile End, East London.

The bedrooms are arranged in flats of up to 6 rooms with either an ensuite or shared bathrooms.

Mile End is less than a 20 minute tube journey from the West End and is well placed for those visiting the City and Canary Wharf or attending events at the nearby Victoria Park. The Student Village is adjacent to the Regents Canal from where it is possible to walk to the Olympic Park, soon to be 'Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park' and Stratford’s Westfield Shopping Centre.

History

Queen Mary has its roots in four historic colleges: Queen Mary College, Westfield College, St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College and the London Hospital Medical College.

The Mile End campus is historically the home of Queen Mary College, which began life in 1887 as the People's Palace, a philanthropic centre to provide east Londoners with educational, cultural and social activities. Queen Mary College was admitted to the University of London in 1915. Westfield College was founded in 1882 in Hampstead as a pioneering college for the higher education of women. In 1989 Queen Mary merged with Westfield College to form Queen Mary and Westfield College.

In 1995, Queen Mary and Westfield merged again, this time with two distinguished medical colleges, St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College, established in 1843, and the London Hospital Medical College, England's first medical school, founded in 1785. This merger created Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and brought clinical medical and dental teaching to Queen Mary for the first time.

Food & beverage

Breakfast is served in the Curve restaurant between 7.00am-10.00am. Guests will have a choice of continental and cooked items along with a selection of hot and cold drinks. Lunch is also available to purchase here on weekdays.

I have never stayed in a bad University residence of this type, and this was no exception. It's simple and few frills, but is clean, cheery and hard to fault. The receptionist was lovely and couldn't have done more. Bathrooms are always a little tired, but very clean nevertheless. I had a quiet and very comfortable night here.

Excellent value for a stay in London. Lovely location next to Regent canal for walks to Victoria Park. Good transport links from Mile End. Left luggage service very useful. Friendly and helpful staff.

I was delayed but need not have worried, when I arrived after 10pm there was someone in the reception. I had a nice little holiday and will be back. Thank you.

Staff were particularly to be praised. You wouldnt get such service from everybody in all areas in a five star hotel. Loved my stay.
