Located at the entrance to the Dining Hall, there is a bar stool area available with a high table to put laptops, notebooks, etc. that can be used for up to 6 people for individual study, or 4 sets of chair and coffee tables (set up for 2 at each but could be up to 4). This is an ideal space for a quick meeting or discussion before/after lunchtime.

The College Bar offers a range of seating across two main areas. Before the main bar, there are high counters with power sockets and bar stools on the right-hand side, which are ideal for independent study. In the main bar area, tables and chairs provide space for study, group work and informal discussions.

Please note that the bar is an open, social environment. It includes speakers, a television, games, and an adjacent music room, so noise levels can vary. It is likely to be busier during bar service hours.
