New Malaysia Hall in London opened

Received an e-mail today informing me that the Malaysia Hall Canteen in London has just reopened (since it was closed down last year) yesterday.

It would be situated in a new location. Instead of nearby Marble Arch where the old Malaysia Halll was it would now be located in Queensway, a popular hang out for Malaysians. The address is:

Malaysian Student Department
30-34 Queensborough Terrace
Queensway
London W2 3ST

Nearest tube stations: Queensway, Bayswater

The operating hours are:

Breakfast 7.30am - 10.00am
Lunch 12.00pm - 4.00pm
Dinner/Supper 5.00pm - 9.45pm

Call +44 (0) 7770 220 608 for more information. There are of course some rules. The restaurant would only be opened for Malaysians (please bring passport or IC). Non Malaysians are welcomed if accompanied by another Malaysian. This is because part of the costs are subsidised by the Malaysian goverment using Malaysian tax payers money.

It is pretty cheap, though there are some restrictions. Haven't been there for years (and not to the new one yet).

Do give them a ring. If that fails, you can always try YHA:

Hi Yvonne,

As my reply to Amy above, I have not been to the Malaysian Hall for years. I do believe that any Malaysians can stay over as I remember seeing families there (but that was way back in 2000). I suggest calling them and enquire first.

Again, YHA provides an excellent alternative for visitors on a budget.
