Complete the summer school experience, stay in a St John's College student room and remain at the heart of the action.
Standard rooms are single occupancy: quasi-apartment with single beds and en suite bathroom. Twin rooms are available on request. There are no double rooms.
If you’re really lucky, you might find yourself living somewhere previously occupied by one of St John's famous alumni, such as Douglas Adams or Paul Dirac.
Accommodation is not included in conference registration.
£130 per person per night including breakfast and VAT, whether booking a Single Room or a Twin Room.
Please note:
- St John's College only has a limited number of rooms available. To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking your accommodation with your conference ticket.
- Rooms are available from the ground floor to the third and there are no lifts. If stairs could be an issue, please let us know during Checkout and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Yes, you can organise your own accommodation. There are a couple of hotels close to St John’s College, which is right in the centre of town:
Other hotels are available but further away. The streets in Cambridge are medieval and narrow and most are free of traffic. Therefore, if you stay at a hotel not in the immediate area of the college/centre, you will not be able to drive a rental car there; a taxi is also a slow method of transport; and so walking is the most efficient method of travel.
