Wilson House, University dormitory in Paddington, England
Wilson House is a residential hall in Paddington with 382 places spread across 22 Grade II listed Victorian terraces plus one modern residence block of Imperial College London. Facilities include shared kitchens, study rooms, games lounge, and laundry facilities.
The Grade II listed building was named after Charles Wilson, First Baron Moran and personal physician to Winston Churchill. His role in that era marks the building's connection to that historical period.
Students from around the world share common living spaces and socialise in designated areas throughout the building. This international community shapes the daily life of the residence.
The location is easily accessible: a 30-minute walk through Hyde Park to the South Kensington campus or 25 minutes by tube. Visitors should note that this is an active student residence.
The structure preserves a piece of Victorian residential architecture by combining original houses with modern elements rather than replacing them entirely. This mix of old and new is uncommon in London student housing.
