The Lawrence London Centre is located in South Kensington, in the heart of central London. Nearby public transportation provides convenient access to all parts of the city.
Facilities, Housing, and Meals
The
London Centre program accommodates up to 25 students who live together in a student residence hall. The residence also contains a computer room, limited laundry facilities, study spaces, and communal living areas. Students
are housed in double, triple, or quad rooms. There is no meal plan available for London Centre students and students cook the majority of their meals. Several major grocery stores are located near the Centre. Shared cooking
facilities (including refrigerator, range, sink, and cupboard space) are located in the residence hall. Cookware, dishes, silverware, bedding, and linens are provided. Students need to provide towels. Many student rooms have en suite bathrooms.
The residence hall is within walking distance of Foundation House which houses classrooms as well as faculty and administrative offices. The London Centre Director's office is located in Foundation House. Most lectures take place in the Foundation House classrooms although classes also regularly meet at museums, concert halls, theatres, and other locations throughout London.
Technology and Computing Information
The main student residence hall has a 32-station PC lab with internet/email access available 24 hours per day. There are also laptop hookup stations in the PC lab where students can connect to work or print from a personal laptop. There is a charge for printing and copying. Some students find it helpful to bring a jump drive they can plug into a USB port on any of the computers. At times of midterms, papers, and final projects, demand for computers in the PC lab can be high so bringing personal laptops is encouraged. The London Centre has wireless internet access for students with laptops.
