Academic House

On weekends, get to know the locals over stalls brimming with gourmet street food and vintage clothing at colourful Herne Hill Market. Spend the afternoon soaking up the sunshine or enjoying an impromptu football match in sprawling Brockwell Park, then meet your friends for an early dinner at trendy raw food restaurant First Aid Box. Later, return to your student accommodation to get dressed for a night out on the town. Head to local tap room Canopy Beer Co. for craft beers brewed onsite, then hop on the train for the eight minute ride to legendary alternative music venue O2 Academy Brixton.

Whether you choose a room or a studio at Academic House, all of your utilities are included in your rent. Wake up each morning in your comfy bed, then enjoy a hot shower in the ensuite bathroom before using the high-speed Wi-Fi to check your emails. Herne Hill Station is across the road - and from there it’s a 20-minute train ride to London South Bank University, a 30-minute ride to Imperial College, and Phenomenal links to St Martins School of Art. Use the nearby bus stops to explore locally or keep a bike in the onsite storage. 

You’re also a 15-minute commute from Central London, making it easy to sightsee on weekends. Discover tales of Britain’s past and present conflicts at the Imperial War Museum, or get tickets to a new production at the National Theatre. When you get home, stop to chat to your friends on the lobby sofas before riding the elevator up to your spacious bedroom. Stash your bags in the under-bed storage, then head through to the fitted kitchen to whip up something tasty to eat. 

After your meal, spread your books out at the study desk and get started on your latest assignments. Drop your dirty clothes off at the onsite laundry then, with your chores out of the way, spend an hour or two in front of your favourite TV programmes. The rooftop deck is the ideal spot for summer drinks parties, while nearby restaurant Pizzeria Pellone is your go-to for wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas. However you spend your time, 24-hour CCTV helps ensure that you always feel safe.
