How to find Little Hall on
the Sidgwick Site
This document is for candidates who have been scheduled for a Linguistics
Admissions Assessment in Little Hall on the Sidgwick Site. This is not in King’s College.
We have provided the information below to help you to find the Sidgwick Site and
show you where to go. Please also feel free to ask the King’s students at the
interview helpdesk in King’s bar. Please be careful not to follow the crowd. Linguistics is the only subject with an Admissions Assessment in Little Hall. Other
subjects have assessments and tests nearby but not in exactly the same place.
The Sidgwick Site is a collection of arts faculties (History, English, Law, Economics etc) and lecture rooms very near to King’s.
Here is a map showing the route in red.
You can see King’s Parade on the
far right, where the main entrance to King’s is.
To get to the Sidgwick site, you need to go out the back gate of
King’s.
There is an entrance to the Sidgwick Site on West Road.
On the following pages you will find a series of photos showing you the route from King’s bar (where the interview helpdesk is) to Little Hall on the Sidgwick Site.
After this, we have also done the route back in case that helps as well.
The route from King’s bar to Little Hall on the Sidgwick Site.
When you come out of King’s bar (where the interview helpdesk is),
turn left and head straight down the path that takes you past the Gibbs
Building on your right (the Gibbs Building is the big white Building)
After you’ve passed the Gibbs Building on your right, continue straight along
the same path – you’re heading for the bridge over the river.
…then go over the bridge
…and down King’s Avenue, which
leads to the back gate of King’s on Queens’ Road.
This is what it looks like as you approach the back gate.
Go through onto Queens’ Road.
You’ll see the traffic lights where you
need to cross Queens’ Road, just to the left of King’s back gate.
When you’ve crossed the road, you will be almost at the right turn onto
West Road.
Turn right onto West Road.
The pavement doesn’t continue long
so you will soon need to cross over.
*NB Please look both ways before crossing the road as there may be cyclists
This is what it will look like as you go up West Road.
…and as you keep going up West Road.
You’ll pass a bus stop as you approach the entrance to the Sidgwick Site.
The Sidgwick Site entrance is immediately before you get to the
distinctive building you can see in this picture (the English Faculty).
At the entrance there are some
bollards and a sign which says
‘Sidgwick Site’.
You need to go straight up here, past the English Faculty on your right and
the Alison Richard Building (for HSPS) on your left.
Keep going under the tree
…and past the Law Faculty (with the glass wall) on your left and the History
Faculty (the red brick) on your right.
Ahead, you can see the Raised Faculty Building where languages are taught
(it is a U-shaped Building on concrete stilts) You’re going to go up the steps and
under the Raised Faculty Building
You can check the map as you go past if you like – Little Hall is labelled
number 11.
4 and 5 are the History Building and the Law Faculty that you’ve just gone
past.
Go up the steps and under the raised
Faculty Building.
You’re heading for the far corner of the grass.
Head for the red dot.
Go under the building again at the far corner
On your left will be the Lecture Block –
Little Hall is straight ahead.
This is the front of Little Hall
You will go through this foyer just
before you enter the room.
… and this is the inside of Little Hall where you will sit your Admissions
Assessment.
The Linguistics Admissions Assessment is not organised by
King’s. It is organised centrally, so you will sit your assessment alongside
applicants for Linguistics at other
Colleges as well. Do listen carefully to the instructions you receive on the
day.
See next page for the route from Little Hall on the Sidgwick Site to the bar in King’s (where the interview helpdesk is)

To exit Little Hall, go back through
the entrance to get outside.
Once outside, go straight forward, under the Raised Faculty Building
and towards the grass that you can see on the other side.
This way – head for the red brick
building (the History Faculty) that you can just see beyond the Raised
Faculty Building.
Go under the Raised Faculty Building
– head for the red brick (History Faculty).
Out the other side and down a few
steps (the steps are hard to see in this picture, but the bikes are on a
lower level).
Go straight down here (between the red brick History Faculty on your left
and the big glass wall of the Law Faculty on your right.
Keep walking straight until you are
out of the Sidgwick Site.
After the Law Faculty, you’ll go past the Alison Richard (HSPS) Building on your right and the English Faculty on your
left.
This is what it looks like as you approach the end of the Sidgwick Site
(at the end of this path where the bollards are – you can just see the bright dots in this picture).
As you come out of the Sidgwick Site, turn right onto West Road.
Straight down West Road, walk past the bus stop.
Keep going – you’re heading for a T
junction.
At the T junction, turn left onto Queens’ Road.
As you go around the corner, you
will see the traffic lights where you need to cross Queens’ Road.
King’s back gate is to the left of the
traffic lights, easily visible on the other side of Queens’ Road.
Go into King’s through the back gate.
…and follow the avenue
…which after a while will take you up over the bridge (you’re crossing the
river Cam, which runs through King’s)
Keep following the path straight,
with the back lawn on your left and buildings on your right.
After the back lawn, you will continue straight past the Gibbs
Building (the big white building) on your right
…and into the front court. Keep
going straight down the right side of the front lawn.
The door to the bar (where the
interview helpdesk is) is the last
entrance on the right, by the screen across the front of King’s.
