This article provides a campus glossary to help you decode room names.  

You can find out more about our campuses and how to get there on the King’s website. 

Important to know: 

  • In British English, the floor of a building at street level is called the ground floor. It can also be referenced at King’s as ‘Level 0’. The floor above it is the first floor, or ‘Level 1’. 
  • Floor level numbers starting with a minus (-) refer to floors underground. ‘Basement level’ or ‘Lower Ground Level’ can also be used in place of ‘Level -1’.
