Take a 360 tour of Wilson House

Set across 22 interconnected Victorian period houses with a new, purpose built residential block to the rear, Wilson House is your home in the heart of London. It is situated just a few minutes away from Paddington station, the restaurants and bars of Paddington Basin, as well as a quick walk to Hyde Park. You're within a few minutes of our St Mary's campus and around 15-25 minutes from South Kensington. 

Wilson House is named after Charles Wilson, 1st Baron Moran, who was the Dean of St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School (now part of the College). Charles Wilson was also famous for being Sir Winston Churchill’s personal physician.
