UAL Halls Tour | The Costume Store | Friday 24 April 2026

Our UAL Hall Tours provide prospective UAL students with the opportunity to visit one of our halls of residence and find out what life would be like living in one of our accommodation spaces.

Prospective students and their guests are invited to explore Portland House during guided tours which run hourly at 2pm, 3pm, and 4pm.

Proof of ID:

As these tours are ONLY for prospective or current UAL students and their guests, all ticket holders will be asked for the following information before embarking upon the tour.

Prospective students:

• A copy of your application to study at UAL OR UAL offer to study for the 2026/27 academic year.

About the UAL Hall Tour:

• Each hall tour will take 45 minutes, with time for questions at the end of the tour.
• You will have the opportunity to meet a current UAL resident at the hall and
  members of theUAL Accommodation Services team.
• Each tour will include a tour of the common areas in the hall, and the local area.
• Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a room viewing during your tour, as this is dependent upon permission from our current residents. We will confirm at the start of each tour whether a room will be included in the tour.
• Due to spacing restrictions, you will be able to register for 2x tickets maximum -
  one for yourself and one for another guest with you.
• If you have more people with you on the day and we have capacity, they will be able to join the tour with you, otherwise they will be able to wait in the reception area with members of our halls team until the tour is finished.

Hall tour meeting point:

• We ask guests who have booked a place on a hall tour at The Costume Store to meet at the reception of The Costume Store promptly, at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time on their ticket.
• Guests will be welcomed and registered by staff and student ambassadors who will be conducting the hall tours.

How to find The Costume Store:

• From North Acton Underground station, it is a 3 minute walk to The Costume Store.
• From Central Saint Martins, it is a 47 minute journey using the Piccadilly and Central line to The Costume Store.

We suggest using Citymapper to help you plan your route on the day between
