Emergency rooms for staff

During tube strikes, exceptionally bad weather or other emergency incidents, overnight accommodation may be available for key staff who experience travel problems. Rooms are available on a first-come first-served basis and are charged at £20 per room per night. Approval from the head of service/head of department is needed if payment is to be made from a School budget.

To check availability and to make a booking, contact Samantha Da Costa at stay@lse.ac.uk or call 020 3437 0050.
