International Students House (ISH) has fostered global friendships, cultural exchange, and support for students from around the world for 60 years. As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we take a journey through time, reflecting on the lives touched, the friendships forged, and the futures shaped within these walls. Since ISH first opened its doors at 229 Great Portland Street in 1965, our mission has remained the same—to create a ‘home from home’ for students far from their own. This 60th-anniversary is a celebration of our past and a call to action for our future. We invite you to be part of this journey—by sharing your memories, reconnecting with fellow alumni, and helping us build a sustainable future for generations of students to come.
