Hughes Parry Hall (Chancellor's Room)

Hughes Parry Hall is one of eight intercollegiate halls of the University of London.

The Hall is administered by a bursarial team that also exercises responsibility for Canterbury Hall. Since 1995, the Warden of Hughes Parry Hall has been Professor Martyn Rady; the Bursar is Fiona Elder.

With 300 residents, it is primarily intended for undergraduate students. The hall was opened in 1969 and its design and facilities bear witness to the exigencies of that time: bathroom facilities are shared; there is little by way of communal kitchen arrangements (although the hall provides both breakfast and evening meals); and the lifts are frequently broken (the hall is arranged as a tower block and has fourteen floors). There are squash courts, tv and games rooms, and a less than active student society. The hall also benefits from its location overlooking Cartwright Gardens in WC1 where tennis courts are available to residents. Every Christmas, the students are accustomed to wrap decorative paper around the life-size statue of John Cartwright (political reformer) in the Gardens that are named after him.
