    • Living Here - Sir Charles Groves Hall

      You can choose to live in Sir Charles Groves Hall of Residence, right next door to the College. Our students occupy a large number of its 612 rooms, which means you can be part of the community. You’ll also have the benefit of being able to practise in your room between 9am and 9pm, and pianists can request a loan piano if required.


      Managed by Unite Students (uS), all standard en-suite rooms in the Hall are grouped in four, with a shared fully-equipped kitchen/lounge. There are also two senior residents and one member of staff on hand to provide support and assistance if needed.
