What is intercollegiate accommodation?
Royal Holloway has access to a small number of rooms in Intercollegiate Halls. Located in central London, these properties are managed by the University of London. As the number of places is limited, intercollegiate accommodation is available on a first-come-first-served basis to full-time postgraduate and accelerated degree programme students only.
For 2026/27, students can apply for a small or medium single-occupancy, self-catered room with shared facilities in Handel Mansions. The rooms are on 50-week contracts (13 September 2026 to 28 August 2027) and prices start from £264.08 per week.
When can I apply?
Applications for Intercollegiate Halls accommodation for 2026/27 will open at midday on Monday 2 March.
