Student Accommodation in London

London is the ultimate destination when it comes to student living. As the UK’s capital, the city is steeped in culture, history and a vibrant retail scene. Home to several world-class institutions, like University College London, Imperial College London and King’s College London, it’s clear to see why approximately a quarter of a million students study in London every year.

Finding a home in the capital can be daunting, but UniHomes simplifies the London student housing market by offering a huge selection of properties with all bills included. We work with 30+ letting agents and PBSA providers from across London to showcase a wide range of student houses, private halls, flats, apartments and studios.

From Camden to Brixton, we take the hassle out of utility management so you can focus on enjoying everything London has to offer without worrying about rising energy costs or broadband setup.

The London student housing market

Student housing in London can be found right across the city. With universities dotted around London’s suburbs and an excellent transport network across the city, students will be close to campus no matter where they live. Generally, properties closer to the centre of London will cost more, and it’s worth considering this when looking for a student home.

For students attending campuses in North London, both Camden and Finsbury Park are popular suburbs to search for student housing. Famous for their incredible food scene, indie stores and legendary nightlife, these areas are a go-to for London’s students. Those looking for a home in South London will be well located in Brixton, which is an affordable option with plenty of local amenities.

Students in East London will find excellent options in Mile End and Stratford. Rent in these areas tends to be cheaper, and the Central Line will get you to London super quickly. West London’s student suburbs include Hammersmith & Shepherd's Bush.

Wherever you decide to look for student accommodation in London, the city’s renowned tube links, bus routes and Santander Cycles e-bikes will get you to campus in no time.

Being a student in London

Living in a student flat in London is bound to keep you busy. The city is home to some of the most recognisable tourist attractions in Europe. With Buckingham Palace, Borough Market and the Shard on the doorstep, students in London will have plenty of culture to explore.
