Histórico
Terence Driscoll, an engineer, opened Driscoll House Hotel on New Kent Road in 1965 and continued to be active in the running of Driscoll House until his final weeks. He was a constant presence in the hostel's office and at the front desk. A regular feature of his week was the speech delivered at Sunday lunch. Much preparation went into this address which included news from past residents, letters received that week and mention of interesting events in the capital. The 200-bed Driscoll House offered London's cheapest hotel accommodation and it was claimed that more than 50,000 guests from 210 different countries had stayed there.
Terence Driscoll was made an Honorary Fellow of the University in 2001.
