Southside Halls

Southside Halls are located within Princes Gardens, just across the road from the main South Kensington campus. They are sited adjacent to Eastside Halls.

The modern Eastside-Southside residential complex provides , two common rooms and an on-site . It is also located next to our flagship sports centre, , offering student memberships.

Southside is comprised of four adjoining halls:

• Falmouth Hall is named after the 8^th Viscount Falmouth, chairman of the College’s governing body from 1947-1952. This was a time of great change and expansion for the College and Falmouth was the chairman of the Finance and Executive Committee at Imperial for 25 years.
• Keogh Hall is named in honour of Alfred Keogh, 2^nd Rector of Imperial College. Keogh was a decorated medical doctor in the British Army.
• Selkirk Hall is named in honour of William Selkirk, a successful businessman and mining engineer. Selkirk donated a sum of money for a hall of residence to be built in 1945. Over the years, the hall has been refurbished and redeveloped until, in 2005, work began to re-build the halls of residence on the south side of Princes Gardens and develop the Selkirk Hall as you see it today. 

• Tizard Hall is named after Sir Henry Thomas Tizard, an English chemist and inventor, and the 4^th Rector of Imperial College. A well-known outcome of his work in chemistry is the modern ‘octane rating’ used to classify petrol.
