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.

Room good, breakfast excellent. Would be good to have a plug in the sink and the shower was a bit cold. But generally very happy.

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.
