Accommodation
St John Street
Blackfriars Hall provides a small number of high-quality, good-size rooms for students, located in two adjacent houses in St John Street, a two-minute walk away from the Blackfriars site. Both properties have a garden in which students can relax.
The accommodation is ideally located in a well-lit street right in the heart of the city, close to the main sights and attractions, and convenient for University facilities, but slightly away from the main bustle and city noise: perfect for balancing the need for study and recreation.
The houses are in easy walking distance of both bus and railway stations.
33 St Giles Annexe
In 2019-20, the Hall opened four en-suite student bedrooms in a shared flat on the 3rd floor of the Hall’s Annexe building at 33 St Giles. While the accommodation is ideally located next to the shops and amenities of Little Clarendon Street as well as the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, the rooms also excellent sound-proofing insulations thus keeping away the noise of St Giles to support quiet study.
Arrangements include an accessible lift, and an accessible en-suite in one bedroom. Further adaptations can be undertaken within the accommodation to support wheelchair users.
