A place to feel settled

We’re Sovereign – a leading housing association driven by our social purpose, with residents at the heart of everything we do.

On weekdays the key is held at the accommodation office from 2pm until 4.30pm. 

If you expect to arrive after the office closes or on a weekend/bank holiday the key is left with switchboard staff in The Hub (sometimes better known as the HSDU building), which is behind the main hospital buildings.

All single accommodation and the two-bedroom self-contained apartments are on St Mary’s Hospital site.  Family properties are within one mile of the hospital. A map is included in your key pack.

Check-in time is 2pm (including weekends and bank holidays).  If you get in touch with us it’s sometimes possible to check in earlier but, because we’re usually very full, if you need to guarantee it you should book another night.

Check out time is 10am (including weekends and bank holidays). If you get in touch with us it’s sometimes possible to check out later but, because we’re usually very full, if you need to guarantee it you should book another night.
