Student Accommodation in Muswell Hill, London

For students seeking a friendly, village-style community with all the perks of city living, Muswell Hill is the ultimate destination. With a multitude of green spaces and parks dotted in and around the neighbourhood, it gives the illusion of being more rural than one might expect.

However, thanks to quick transport links into the city, students can easily commute to their universities without making a major dent in their budgets. Journeying into the centre of London is possible by both Tube and bus, with Highgate and East Finchley tube stations just a 15-minute walk from the centre of Muswell Hill, and buses going directly to town costing as little as £1.75.

For those who like having everything on their doorstep, Muswell Hill is the perfect place for students looking for London student accommodation. Although the area is relatively family-orientated, it is gradually becoming trendier and increasingly popular among young people. Known as the hub of thrifting, it has dozens of charity shops packed with designer items lining the high street. Independent cafés such as Chriskitch, La Dinette and Bob’s comfortably co-exist alongside the many supermarkets, pharmacies and restaurants, offering a variety that caters to a wide range of budgets and lifestyles.

There's even a Wetherspoons which is buzzing with young people and locals most nights of the week. Student residents can also enjoy plenty of entertainment, whether it's catching a film at the Everyman cinema, going to a gig at the famous Alexandra Palace, or playing tennis, paddle and squash on local courts.

Muswell Hill is one of the highest points of North London – along with Hampstead and Highgate. However, this spot remains the most undiscovered and unspoiled of the three, with its Victorian terraces giving the area its distinctive and consistent architectural character all while housing a variety of student accommodation options. From cosy 2-bed flats to spacious 6-bed houses, Muswell Hill has a range of student properties to suit all group sizes.
