East Suffolk Park, the former Suffolk Road Halls of Residence, is a B-listed quadrangle of buildings set around a large central grassed area in the Newington suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was originally built as hostel accommodation for women students attending the University of Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Provincial Training College. Designed by Allan Keith Robertson in the Arts and Crafts style, the first two hostels, Balfour House and Buchanan House were opened in 1916. The third, Playfair House was opened one year later. The last two buildings, Carlyle House and Darroch House, which completed the quadrangle, were designed by Robertson's successor Frank Wood and opened in 1927. In 1939 the complex became an internment camp for enemy aliens and in 1940 handed over to the Auxiliary Territorial Service. It later became the Newington Campus of Moray House Teacher Training College. The complex was subsequently sold and converted to private residential accommodation.
