  • Kitchens are shared with all other rooms in your flat; it's a great way to make friends during the first weeks

What the students say

"With a small number of students living in each flat as well as a small hall, it fosters more of a social, family style living arrangement that is better for those seeking a warm friendly home away from home and can think of no better place to spend your time at London South Bank University"

Christian Hedberg, B Eng in Mechanical Engineering
