Self-guided tours

If you would prefer to visit us in your own time or cannot make one of our Open Days, why not take advantage of our self-guided tour? They last 45 minutes and are available any time between 10am and 4pm. To take a self-guided tour, complete the booking form.

Use our maps and directions pages to get to the University main entrance on Roehampton Lane and ask at the gatehouse for directions to the Information Centre, where you can collect your self-guided tour pack. The Student Enquiries team will greet you and answer any questions you may have. Meanwhile, you might like to download an electronic version of our self-guided tour (PDF).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there parking on campus?

If you are travelling by car, you will need a permit to park on campus. You can get this from the Security Gatehouse at the University main entrance. Please make sure you do this when you first arrive to save you walking back to Security once you are at the Information Centre.

Can I speak to academic staff on my visit?

Yes. You can contact the department direct to arrange an appointment, preferably to coincide with the date of your tour. Alternatively, our switchboard - on 020 8392 3000 - can put you through to the right department.

My course is based at Whitelands College. Where should I start my tour?

Self-guided tours begin at the Information Centre. If the course you are interested in is based at Whitelands, we suggest you still start at the Roehampton Lane site to make the most of your experience. The tour continues on to Whitelands College.

Can I take a self-guided tour at the weekend?

Yes. Although the Information Centre is closed at weekends you can still visit the campus. Please email us with your postal address and the course you are interested in at least 10 days in advance of your desired date so we can ensure a self-guided tour pack reaches you in time. Self-guided tour packs can also be emailed if your tour is booked at short notice.

Is there somewhere to grab a coffee during my visit?

Yes - you will come across several places to eat or drink on your tour.

What if I have more questions after my self-guided tour?

The Information Centre is open until 5pm. Do feel free to drop in again should you need any more information or if any of your questions are still unanswered and we will do our best to assist you.
