About Queen Alexandra’s House
Queen Alexandra’s House (QAH) was founded in 1884 by Sir Francis Cook Bart, in order to provide accommodation for women students at the Royal College of Music, Royal College of Art and the Royal College of Science. It has kept to Sir Francis’ original attention, but the fields of study have widened to include many other activities
At QAH, we are driven to inspire our resident, support and look after them during one of the most important times of their lives, and help create a Home Away from Home.
