Goodenough College

Categories: Education

This is not a college but an organisation that provides residential accommodation for students and academics working in London. Competition for places is strong and applicants have to show that they will contribute to the social and cultural life of the community.

Previously known at various times as London House, William Goodenough House, and the London Goodenough Trust it was renamed as Goodenough College in 2001.
