What are the distances (in miles) from the halls of residence to the main university campus? Please list names and distances between campuses if there are more than one. Please also list the distance between your nearest halls of residence to each campus.

If there is parking available on all university campuses, are there any parking charges? If so, what are these? Please list all campus parking charges if there are differences in pricing.

Are the parking spaces at the university campus secured at night and at weekends? If so, how?

If there is parking available at the student halls of residence, what are the parking charges? Please list all residences parking charges if there are differences in pricing.

Are the parking spaces at the halls of residence secured at night and at weekends? If so, how?
If students require parking permits to park at their halls of residence or on campus, how much do these cost?

If you do have permits or parking charges both at campus and halls of residence, how many parking fines have been issued to students over the past 5 years?

Please let me know if you have any further questions or require further clarification.
Thank you,

Dear Leia,

 

Further to your recent FoI request, the Schools response is provided
below:

 

Q1. How many parking spaces do you have available to students on campus?

A1. Please note that as the School is based right in the centre of London
we do not have parking facilities on campus per se (see
[1]https://www.lse.ac.uk/lse-information/tr...)

 

Q2. What are the distances (in miles) from the halls of residence to the
main university campus? Please list names and distances between campuses
if there are more than one. Please also list the distance between your
nearest halls of residence to each campus.

any parking charges? If so, what are these? Please list all campus parking
charges if there are differences in pricing.

Q5. If there is parking available at the student halls of residence, what

A5. Parking is very limited in Central London. Some of our halls have
space for students to pull in and unload on arrival day however, all
students are referred to [3]Parkopedia for details of the nearest car
parks and on-street parking.

Please Note: At one residence (Bankside House) we have 20 parking spaces
available however they are sold on a first come first serve basis @ £10/12
hr period. The charges are applicable 7 days a week and overnight.  If a
student wishes to park for a longer period, they can get in touch with the
Hall Reception team and we can issue permits for £10/day. In the previous
year, we have not had any students who parked on a long term basis. Some
students might have parked for short terms and paid on a daily rate.

 

Q6. Are the parking spaces at the halls of residence secured at night and
at weekends? If so, how?

A6. n/a see above

 

Q7. If students require parking permits to park at their halls of

residence, how many parking fines have been issued to students over the
past 5 years?
