Some of our favourite spots in the area:<br />Lamb’s Conduit Street is a partially pedestrianised street in bookish Bloomsbury, this is as civilised as shopping gets in our capital, and is good for a quick bite to eat/coffee.  About a 5 minute walk. <br /><br />Leather Lane is about 10 minutes away. Monday to Friday it is a bustling strip of market stalls with some designer cafes. ‘Department of Coffee and Social Affairs’ is worth a look!<br /><br />Exmouth Market’s good for dinner/drinks. It’s refreshingly quiet – and Cafe Kick has bags of personality.  15 minute walk. <br /><br />Two collections we love – all about a 15 minute walk away. FREE entry to all:<br />The British Library is fascinating. They have items from Shakespeare, the Beatles, Mozart, Henry VIII! Next to St Pancras station. 96 Euston Rd, NW1 2DB<br /><br />Soane Museum - "Designed by architect Sir Soane to house his own collection of paintings and architectural salvage, the museum is a tranquil place full of unexpecte
In 1930, Frederick Craufurd Goodenough, Chairman of Barclays Bank, formed a Trust to raise funds for a hall of residence for male students from the British 'Dominions'.  The Dominions Students' Hall Trust aimed to create a collegiate setting that would enhance international understanding and prevent students from feeling isolated in the British capital. London House opened on one of London's finest Georgian squares.

After the Second World War a 'Sister Trust' raised finance for further expansion and William Goodenough House opened as a residence for female postgraduates and students with families. As part of the Lord Mayor's National Thanksgiving Fund the expansion was seen as a way of thanking both Commonwealth countries and the United States for their support during the War.

The two Trusts merged in 1965 and became London House for Overseas Graduates. The title later changed to The London Goodenough Trust for Overseas Graduates and then, in 2001 it became Goodenough College. It was felt that the name reflected more accurately the purpose and ethos of the institution with its 'collegial' setting and unique community environment.

Accommodation was originally reserved for students from Commonwealth countries but US students were admitted from 1950 and those from continental Europe in 1974. South African students continued to be admitted after the country left the Commonwealth in 1961.

In 2001 the College became fully international and its student community of 700 now represents over 80 countries.
