History

The Carleton Grange is located in Tufnell Park, in the Borough of Islington in North London. It consists of three brick Victorian houses that were built in the 1800's. Before the Second World War, the houses were used as hostels for young men. At this time they were called HYELM's, or "Hostel for Youth-full Employees of Limited Means." After the war, the three houses were used as a sort of halfway house for Navy men who had returned from the war. Finally, around 1950, the houses were purchased by the University of North London and named the Carleton Grange.

Prior to September 2006, the Carleton Grange had housed university students, and international travelers. However, due to its desirable location, it was recently purchased by a developer, and will no longer be student housing. We are glad to be able to carry on the tradition here at home.
