Newham College–Early Fanatic Fear of Women Students





Library

When Newnham was first founded, women weren’t allowed to use the main University library – so the women here built their own amazing space for learning and research. The result today is one of the best-stocked and most beautiful College libraries, and many of the famous writers who studied here gave a copy of their books.


Gardens

At ‘the College where you can walk on the grass’, Newnham’s huge gardens are for everyone. In summer, they’re filled with students relaxing with friends – but there’s always a quiet space to study outside. All our undergraduate students live on site, in these lovely buildings with huge windows looking out on the gardens.
Iris Café
The Iris Café is a stylish space for high-quality coffee, drinks, cakes and light meals, open to everyone.
