Make London your home

“London is an incredible city, and there’s so much to do and see. The accommodation is affordable even though it is in the centre of London, zone 1! You can walk everywhere; it is so ideal! I would recommend staying in Halls when studying here.”

Eleanor, Acting and Performance student.

Live in the heart of the action

We know the university experience is more than the degree you leave with, it’s an opportunity to make lifelong friendships and memories, and there is no better way to do it than by living that authentic university experience in our halls of residence in Elephant and Castle. You can live, learn, and thrive in central London, with our Southwark campus on our doorstep!

London is yours to explore

London is repeatedly voted the No.1 city in the world to be a student thanks to the opportunities available and Elephant and Castle is one of the most vibrant and exciting areas of London.

We’re surrounded by some of the best food, art, sport, and nightlife, and beyond what the capital offers, on your doorstep you’ll have access to tons of clubs and societies to ensure you can find friends to live your best life with.

Community vibe

Fully embrace university life and meet new people. As soon as you move in, you'll become part of our diverse and welcoming student community with plenty of shared space to study, watch tv and eat together. Our friendly Residential Community Ambassadors are on hand to support with student events, from quiz and karaoke nights to group study and mindfulness sessions; there’s always something going on and someone to talk to.

Affordable, even in the city

We have three halls of residence with over 1,000 single bedrooms to rent, all within a ten-minute walk to campus, and it’s no secret that our accommodation is pretty much unbeatable on price. We offer places to live far below market price in the capital, and with rents starting from £152 a week and utility bills such as so gas, water, electricity, and Wi-Fi are also included, so you won’t have to worry about next month’s rent, you can get on with living.

To make sure you have your finances in hand, it’s worth carry out your own affordability checks and budgetary planning, just so you minimise any risk of financial hardship.
