SOAS has exclusive access to two student residences located near to each other on Pentonville Road, adjacent to the Vernon Square campus. Shaftesbury Student Housing own Dinwiddy House which accommodates 510 undergraduate and postgraduate students, and Paul Robeson House which accommodates 252 postgraduate students in single rooms and both undergraduate and postgraduate in the seven double rooms available to couples.

SOAS accommodation is self-catering, with individual study-bedrooms and en-suite facilities, telephone and internet cabling. Six or seven rooms are clustered around a shared kitchen/diner. Where possible, students are offered a choice of single or mixed sex, smoking or non-smoking clusters. The residences have been built to accommodate wheelchair access and seven of the study bedrooms have been equipped for use by students with disabilities.

A launderette and common room with TV and vending facilities are located on-site and each residence has a covered bike storage (but no car parking). The kitchens are cleaned once a week but students are expected to maintain their own rooms.

Accommodation in the residences is offered for the full 38 week session (this covers the academic year including Christmas & Easter vacations). Paul Robeson also offers the choice of a 51 week licence which includes the summer vacation.
