The Victoria League for Commonwealth Friendship

The Victoria League for Commonwealth Friendship We provide affordable accommodation to students from Commonwealth countries through the Victoria League Student House in Bayswater, London.

Some Key facts:
■ By 1909 there were already 27 branches of the Victoria League across England, Scotland and in the overseas Dominions.

■ The League has had many famous members, including Sir Malcolm Sargent, the explorer Sir Francis Younghusband, Noel Coward and Ivor Novello the Welsh singer, composer and actor.

■ Royal Patronage has been a huge part of the history of the League since 1906, when the future Queen Mary, then Princess of Wales became Patron.

■ During WWII, the League provided Commonwealth Servicemen in the UK with 1.25 million beds and 4 million meals.

■ The League has provided student hospitality and welfare since 1927. To this day, Student House, which is also the League’s headquarters, is the focal point for many charitable activities. The hostel is run successfully and remains popular with Commonwealth students. Over the years the League has always adapted to our ever changing world and environment. Today we remain strong and continue to increase our membership levels. We are proud of our record of service and achievements over the last 100 plus years and endeavour to keep fulfilling these important founding ideals of friendship and hospitality across the Commonwealth nations.

Her music and spirit continue to connect people across borders, generations, and traditions.

May her incredible legacy live on.
