I loved living in halls. I was with a range of students – some were international, some were home, everyone was doing different courses.

Our lecture theatres, laboratories and study spaces – including our extensive 24-hour library – will all be on your doorstep. You’ll also have access to the two shops, four cafés, two restaurants, bar, gym, and bookshop on site.

Our halls of residence have a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by greenery and attractive outdoor spaces. At times, it’s easy to forget that you’re living in the heart of a bustling capital city.

Campus accommodation is fun, safe and convenient – an affordable way to enjoy London life. It’s also a great way to meet new people and create your own community of friends.
