Halls Of Residence At Kingston University in general

I lived at Clayhill halls of residence which is situated in Surbiton. As far as I am aware, these were the most expensive halls to stay in (I paid £97 p/w) as they were all ensuite rooms. The blocks are made up of three floors, (ground, first, second) and contain three flats each with four rooms.

So if you want to go out at night in a heavy snow storm, tough luck! Its about 1 mile to walk to the nearest train station. The ground the halls are situated is at the end of a dodgy estate, walking alone at night is NOT recommended. The grounds looks more ...  Read the complete review
