Suggested Lodging and Dining in the New London Region
Visiting Connecticut College has been an integral part of New London since 1911, when founders of the new college were looking across the state for a site to establish the campus. New London is a small, vibrant and busy city. Its downtown, with an active arts community and many restaurants and coffeehouses and some boutiques, is in the midst of a renaissance. Other nearby communities, from Niantic to Groton to Mystic, also have much to offer.
