Driscoll House
London Borough of Southwark, United Kingdom
Driscoll House is a building at 172 New Kent Road, London, England, which has operated as a hostel since 1913. The building is on the south side of New Kent Road, between the Bricklayers Arms flyover and Elephant and Castle station, and is a well-detailed example of the pre-World War I institutional Baroque style. In 2024 the building was exclusively used by the Home Office to house refugees pending processing. In May 2024, immigration removals at this location were blocked by an anti-raids group. By March 2025 Driscoll House started once again operating as the Rest Up London hostel, providing up to 625 beds across 7 floors.
