the gcr common room

The physical GCR consists of a suite of rooms situated in one corner of Tom Quad. The main room of this is where most GCR activities take place. It is steeped in history, having been previously occupied both by Charles Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) and Albert Einstein.

The Common Room contains everything you need to relax after a hard day’s work: tea and coffee, the occasional pop up bar, a widescreen television with a PS4 and FIFA20 if you must...

It sports some very comfortable leather sofas and, since recently, a baby grand piano. The GCR also subscribes to a few newspapers and magazines for you to enjoy.
