Housing Guide 2022 / 2023

Built especially for students, private student accommodation offers loads of perks that are hard to find in London private rentals and uni halls.

Designed with students in mind, private student accommodation is all about comfort. With double beds you can tumble into, ensuite bathrooms you don’t have to share, and generous spaces to study, exercise and socialise – you’ll find everything you need to make the most of your time at uni.

Unlike uni halls which are usually situated on campus, private accommodation providers tend to be more selective with their locations. They’re often situated in the best spots in town, where there’s loads to see and do at your doorstep.

Whether you want to live with friends in a shared apartment or have a studio all to yourself, it’s totally up to you where you live and who you live with. Whatever room type you choose, it will be fully equipped with everything you need to have a safe and comfy stay.

A big relief for students, is that there’s generally better security in the building. This includes CCTV, on-site security and keyless access. Most buildings are also staffed 24/7, providing around the clock support with anything you need.

Generally, your rent covers all bills and Wi-Fi. Not to mention free access to onsite facilities such as gyms, cinema rooms and study spaces. This amount is often fixed for the year, so you know exactly what you’re paying each month.

There are regular events and lots of shared spaces where you can meet other residents, including lounges, dining areas and libraries. From Friday night socials to career workshops and yoga classes, there’s always something fun to look forward to.
