Cumberland Lodge is a unique conference centre. Its Patron is The Queen, who has granted sole occupancy of a splendid seventeenth-century house for discussions aimed at the betterment of society.

The Lodge is in Windsor Great Park and so is close to Royal Holloway (you can walk there from Bishops Gate at Englefield Green but it is an excursion!).
So why am I mentioning this? Because Cumberland Lodge is not only for high level academic debate. It also does a lot of work with students, particularly international and Commonwealth students. For example, at Christmas time there is a special Christmas Weekend for international students. Read the rest of this entry »
