The Upper Room

The Upper Room is your student lounge, perfectly located between St Peter's Campus and the city centre. It's a place to relax, socialise, cook food and study.

Take a break from your busy university schedule and life in general, make some toast, watch TV, or catch up with some work. We've got comfy sofas, free tea and coffee and free WIFI.

The Upper Room is located above the Parish Centre, next to St Mary's Church and we're usually open weekdays from 9am-5pm.
