- Bars:
- There are bars on all of King’s College’s main campuses, including the Strand, Waterloo, Guy’s Hospital, St. Thomas’ Hospital (aka Tommys), and Denmark Hill (where Kings College Hospital (KCH) is).
The Waterfront - The Waterfront is situated at the Strand site, which also has two other bars. It has a capacity of 350 and boasts superb views across the River Thames, to Tower Bridge in the east and Westminster the west. The Waterfront is busy throughout the day, and has both pool tables and a small deli.
Tutu’s - A nightclub on the Strand site where weekly student union functions take place. It has a capacity of 620 and often plays good old cheesy music. Tutu’s has a new state of the art, digitally controlled sound and lighting rig, with advanced moving lights, scans and a powerful sound system. There is also the Reach Bar by Tutu’s.
Penthouse and other bars - The Penthouse is located at the Denmark Campus. There are also bars at Guy’s, St. Thomas’ and Waterloo. The hospital bars tend (as expected) to be full of medics, who seem to lead separate social lives from other King’s students.
Food - The College run B1 (a refectory) at the Strand as well as the Terrazza, complete with coffee bar. King’s Hospital, at Denmark Hill has the delightfully named ‘Hospital Canteen’, while Guy’s Hospital have a McDonalds! The Students’ Union run a deli in the Waterfront Bar and Tutu’s sells cheap pizzas etc. and breakfast….if you are ever up in the morning!
