| That's disappointing. The shared kitchen in my "dorm" (we don't use the word) in London was great -- I made good friends by cooking together with others, and massively improved my cooking ability and confidence. Day-to-day we mostly cooked fairly simple things (like on the front covers of these "student cookbooks"[1], which I was given about 5 of by relatives and friends), but every 2-4 weeks someone would decide to make an elaborate meal, probably something traditional from their country. The fire alarm was activated once in two years -- and that was the warden burning something in his kitchen. These kitchens are all for first year students: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/campus-life/accommodation/h... https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/campus-life/accommodation/h... https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/campus-life/accommodation/h...
