Places of prayer in the University

Kingston University is a secular institution which has no commitment to any particular faith or belief. Many beliefs and faiths however, are present in the University which is a very diverse community.

At Kingston University, we have a number of faith facilities, which can be found on our Inclusive Facilities maps (PDF).

The following faith facilities are available for our students and staff to access, but please note that our University wudu/Islamic washrooms are currently closed due to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic:
