Living in London as a student
London, the UK's capital city. Whether you are studying in London already or are heading here for your first year – here's what you need to know when you are looking for student accommodation in London:
Now, of course, you're probably wondering where you're going to live while studying here. Well, Accommodation for Students has got that covered.
From 1-bed studios to 6-bed flats, we've got the accommodation you need within your budget – whatever University you go to.
If you're going to the University of London or University College London, then you'll want to be in Zone 1 (otherwise known as Central London), but this can get quite pricey. Head further out to Zones 2, 3, or 4 if you want something more pocket-friendly.
Some of the most popular places for students to live in London are:
Camden: Situated in North London, Camden is a great place to star spot, and it is also home to old cobbled streets packed full of bars, restaurants, and great shopping opportunities.
Dalston: One for the hip and cool amongst you, Dalston sits in the East End of London next to Shoreditch. Its open markets and vintage stalls tend to attract a more creative crowd.
Docklands: A bit of a wild card, but one for the money-savvy among you; Docklands is more relaxed than some areas as it is a bit on the outskirts – but it does have excellent transport links to get you where you need to go.
Kensington: Slap bang in the centre of London, and a stone's throw from both Buckingham Palace and Oxford Street, this is where every student wants to live.
Richmond: If city life does not appeal to you, then Richmond is where you want to be; it is full of beautiful open spaces that feel like you're out in the country.
Don't worry if your student accommodation is not located close to your Uni; there are plenty of ways to get around London. The most famous way to travel in London is the Tube (or underground) of course, where you can use your Oyster card to get around quite easily. A Bus is also a great option for students, or you can save loads of money by walking or biking it!
It's also important to know that you will never get bored when you come to study in London. No matter what you are into or what you are learning, there is something here for everyone to enjoy:
Art and History: You can explore your love of Art at the National Gallery, the Saachi Gallery, or Tate Modern, or while away an afternoon checking out the exhibits at the British Museum or the V&A.
English History: London is home to many of the world's most famous historical landmarks, such as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament (and Big Ben), St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, and Westminster Abbey, to name a handful.
Food and Drink: From sublime Michelin starred restaurants such as Marcus and Le Gavroche when mum and dad visit to superb pub grub at The White Swan or The Four Thieves when you're footing the bill – London has everything you need to stop that belly rumbling.
Retail: From Harrods, Liberty's, and Selfridges when you want to splash the cash to Camden Market and Carnaby Street when you want something more pocket-friendly – London is packed full of some of the best places to shop in the whole of the UK. You won't be short of places to spend that student loan!
Sports: London is home to the Lord's Cricket Ground, Twickenham Rugby Stadium, Wimbledon Tennis Club, and of course – Wembley.
