Biographical history

This student accommodation was built in the early 1960s for the Phillippa Fawcett College of Education and was situated on Etherstone Road, in a residential area of Streatham. It comprised five blocks of accommodation with a total of 264 single study bedrooms, a boiler house, Caretaker's house and Principal's House. During the 1970s and 1980s it was owned and run by the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) and housed students from various London Polytechnics. After ILEA was abolished in 1990 the building transferred to South Bank Polytechnic, a major user of the accommodation, on the understanding that one third of the accommodation would be used by students at the Polytechnic of Central London. The building was sold in 1997 as part of what was now South Bank University's strategy to have all accommodation within walking distance of the campus.
