responsible for extra-curricular activities throughout the year and is at the centre of Guildhall’s social scene. It organises clubs and societies and a variety of social events, many of which take place around the well-established Basement Bar, located nearby in Sundial Court. Accommodation
accommodation@gsmd.ac.uk Once you have been offered a place at Guildhall, you will be given details of accommodation options. Whether it is private lodgings, rooms to rent in shared houses or local letting agencies, you will find something to suit your needs. We will also give you information about Sundial Court, the School’s Hall of Residence, which is located in Chiswell Street just around the corner from our two main buildings. Sundial Court has 39 flats, each with between three and six bedrooms, with 176 rooms in total.
And for music students, there is the added advantage of being able to practise in your bedroom during agreed hours. Local amenities, including supermarkets, bars, restaurants and sports facilities, are all within walking distance. There are two underground stations close by, and down below is the Basement, which houses the School bar, a self-service laundry, practice rooms and a communal television room. Sundial Court has wired internet access in all study bedrooms, with additional Wi-Fi access points in the reception and basement areas. Security is provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, a team of Residential Wardens lives in the Sundial Court building to provide pastoral support and respond to any emergency situations outside of office hours. A key part of their role is to encourage a sense of community among residents, and throughout the year they organise social activities such as market trips, museum visits, film nights and exercise clubs. If you are accepted onto a full-time course at Guildhall School, you are entitled to apply for a place at Sundial Court. Although we can’t offer a room to every student, we do try to provide accommodation for first year undergraduates.
