Residences at UCL Agreeable accommodation in a friendly environment at affordable prices. This folder provides detailed information on accommodation and other services that UCL Residences offer to Summer Schools and Languages Schools, groups and individual travellers as well as conference organisers. Introduction: Each residence is listed, and there is a summary of the services that each residence offers. Most of our residences are within walking distance of the main College campus located on Gower Street and all that London has to offer the scholar, tourist or conference delegate. The residences vary considerably from converted early Victorian Town Houses in Bloomsbury to a modern purpose built residence. Whilst some residences offer accommodation on a bed only basis, others can provide bed and breakfast accommodation with the option of an evening meal. Our residences are not hotels, but we offer clean and comfortable accommodation with bed linen and a towel provided and changed on a weekly basis. Most have pleasant common rooms or grounds enabling you to sit and relax after a hard day studying, sightseeing or shopping and the money that you save by staying in one of our residences instead of a hotel can be used to make the most of all this wonderful city has to offer! Residences at UCL were awarded the Hospitality Assured kite mark in 2003, the first University in London to achieve this award, and we are dedicated to improving and increasing our provision of high standard accommodation for our ever growing student and commercial market. We hope that the information given in this folder will be of interest, and we look forward to being of service to you in the near future. We are only too happy to discuss your requirements, and there is a list of contact numbers for each residence page. General group enquiries can be made by calling 0207 529 8975 or by e-mailing accommodation@ucl.ac.uk. Please visit our web site on www.ucl.ac.uk/residences.
Camden Market Camden market is the fourth most popular visitor attraction in London captivating both tourists and Londoners alike. It can take up to a few hours to explore the stalls selling crafts, bric-a-brac, books, clothing, jewellery, music and much more. You also cannot fail to visit some of the many shops neighbouring the canal and the streets. The canal was historically used for trade, to transport goods to and from the City. The canal itself was bordered by warehouses, stables and other premises necessary to the canal. In the early 1970s the canal trade ceased and a temporary market appeared in the vacant area. Although initially only a food market it quickly became popular, rapidly flourished and grew. World famous novelists such as Charles Dickens, George Orwell and Mary Shelley have lived in Camden Town and described it in their literature, highlighting London s cultural diversity. Nowadays several markets exist. 1. Camden Lock Market This market is now occupying the warehouses used during the canal trade. It originally was a crafts market and is still very much crafts focused but the stalls are today offering a much wider variety of items such as books, clothing, etc. 2. Stables Market The market is built in the former stables and horse hospital necessary when the canal was in use. A mixture of indoor and outdoor stalls, it now is the centre for home furniture and decorative items. The other focus is on clothing and art pieces for goths and other sub-cultures. 3. Canal Market The Canal Market is accessible from Chalk Farm Road. It is a general outdoor market. 4. The Electric Ballroom Just steps away from the entrance of the underground station, the Electric Ballroom is the first market you encounter when arriving in Camden Town. The items traded at this market range from clubbing wear to records, jewellery and accessories to designer items and leather outfits. 5. Camden Market / Buck Street Market This outdoor market is primarily focused on clothing and fashion wear. Camden Town and its markets offer the passer-by a wide diversity of goods, a large choice of exotic foods in a multicultural environment. If you want to change from the usual museums and other tourist attractions, stop by Camden Town to discover the true heart of London.
