About us
Who we are
International Students House (ISH) is a long-standing charity providing accommodation and welfare support to British and overseas students. Located in central London, ISH provides a ‘home away from home’ for students who stay at ISH, but study at one of the nearby universities. ISH is proud of the pastoral care it provides to students, and also of the scholarship programme, which with the help of our partner universities is worth £1m a year.
ISH has a number of ancillary revenue streams which work to support the main charitable mission - ISH Venues, offering meeting and events spaces, 229, a live music venue, and The Thirsty Scholar, a cafe/bar.
