International Hall is a Hall of Residence owned by the University of London and situated on Brunswick Square in the Bloomsbury district of London. It is an intercollegiate hall,〔http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/accommodation/residences/intercollegiate〕 and as such provides accommodation for full-time students at institutions such as University College, King's College, Queen Mary, School of Oriental and African Studies, the London School of Economics, and other such constituent colleges of the University of London. It is the largest single hall of the University of London.〔http://halls.london.ac.uk/summer-housing/international-hall〕 ==History== The first wing (now known as the North Wing, and previously as the Main Wing) was opened in 1963 by the Indian High Commissioner. The second part of the hall (now known as the West Wing) was opened in 1968 by the then Chancellor of the University of London, HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Later construction included the conversion of Georgian terrace houses on Lansdowne Terrace into flats for postgraduate students, the conversion of similar properties on Guilford Street into two new sets of single and double study-bedrooms (known as House and Ingold), and the construction of X block (pronounced "cross-block", although room numbers there, e.g. X123, were pronounced "ex-one-two...") connecting Ingold and the West Wing. The Hall underwent a major refurbishment in 2002-03. The refurbishment saw the demolition of the X block and the construction of a new Central Wing comprising studio flats for postgraduate students. The refurbishment also saw the construction of a new entrance on Lansdowne Terrace (the previous main entrance having been on Brunswick Square), and refurbishment of all facilities and rooms. The Georgian Terrace houses on Lansdowne Terrace and Guilford Street were also refurbished as large family flats. The newly refurbished Hall was reopened in December 2003 by the Chancellor of the University of London, HRH the Princess Royal.
