Construction on this, the University's first major property acquisition in more than 5 decades, is set to begin in March 2017 and will hopefully be completed by Autumn. This project, the University's first accommodation in the east of the city, is an investment in high quality living spaces to meet prospective students' future demand and is being constructed with the aim of diversifying the University's accommodation offerings.

The Houses of Parliament – Sir Charles Barry

The Houses of Parliament

While the Houses of Parliament have existed since the Medieval Period in one form or another, a fire in 1834 burned down these early buildings. Sir Charles Barry was awarded the opportunity to recreate the Palace of Westminster in the Gothic style and, in conjunction with Augustus Pugin, his partner, he created and designed the building that we can still see standing today. Completed back in 1870, the Houses of Parliament are still in regular use and are a recognisable landmark by the River Thames.
