History

Passfield Hall was LSE's first residence, opened in 1948. It is named after the first Lord Passfield, Sidney Webb, one of the four members of the Fabian Society who founded LSE in 1895.

It is a prime example of the late Georgian Town Houses that characterise Bloomsbury. The building itself comprises ten houses around a courtyard garden. Seven houses make up the main block and three the two annexes. Given its grade II listed status, some rooms can only be accessed by stairs and the building retains its single glazed wooden sash windows.

In 2006 the building underwent an extensive £7m refurbishment programme and now offers a unique mix of modern facilities and classic architecture.

Food & beverage

Breakfast is included in the price of the accommodation with an excellent choice, ranging from Continental and English options, plus tea, coffee, toast and juice. Breakfast is served in the dining room overlooking the garden. (breakfast not included in the two-bedroom flat) Due to refurbishments in the kitchen area of Passfield Hall, a continental breakfast will only be served between June 15th and 28th September 2019.

There are also a number of restaurants and cafes nearby. It is also just ten minutes walk from Charlotte Street, one of London's most famous eating destinations. There is a huge range on offer from cheap and cheerful to top-notch, Thai to Italian, with everything in between.

Kitchens are available for use throughout the building (with microwaves, hob, toaster, kettle, fridges).

Great location, but a bit confusing to find. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Room was advertised as ‘basic,’ and it is, but was clean and facilities were fine. Good breakfast, and overall, good value for money.
