I think I'm gonna put Bankside as my first choice! Just wondering, when they put you in a single room sharing a bathroom with one other person, do they try and make it so you're both male or both female? Also, how easy is it to get self-catered and what cooking facilities do you get if you're not self-catered?
Hey I might put Bankside as my first choice as well!
Do halls have individual societies and events with lse su, or is it just lse su?
halls do stuff themselves too, you have a student committee bankside had a casino night on the last week they hired professional dealers, poker table, roulette wheels blackjack tables was pretty fun!

everyone i know at bside shares with someone the same sex
not everyone gets kitchen access, if you do, then you pay quite a bit for it for this you get the standard kitchen things, oven, cooker, fridge etc.
if you dont get kitchen access you can use the lounges on each floor which have a microwave .. lols

lol what's wrong with the reception staff?
Thanks for answering these questions for us! It's really helpful. :-)
Its deffo the best walk by far compared to other halls. Across Blackfriars bridge, (or Millennium if you want), walk down Victoria Embankment along the river, then cut through Temple. Very Scenic. Its about 20-30 mins, although if you walk really fast, you can do it in 15.
