Pacific Court

Located between the student hub of Mile End and the colourful markets of Whitechapel, Stepney Green is one of London’s best-kept secrets. Cross the road to the Genesis cinema (just two minutes from your door) and enjoy the best films, coffee and cocktails. Check out the local thrift shops for a great bargain on vintage clothes. Chill out in one of several local parks, visit the city farm (complete with pigs and chickens) or just enjoy watching the world pass by from stylish Pacific Court.

There are some great places to study in east London and Pacific Court is in easy reach of all of them, with QMUL and London Metropolitan University just a fifteen minute walk away and City University at the end of one short bus ride. The nearby tube stations at Whitechapel and Stepney Green mean you can get to UCL, KCL, LSE and other central London colleges in under twenty minutes, or head home with ease after exploring other areas of London.

When you get back to Pacific Court, you’ll have plenty of space to do your own thing. Every student has their own ensuite shower room, so there’s no need to fight over the mirror or the hot water! You’ll either enjoy your own studio apartment with built-in kitchen, or share a living area with one to four other students. If you’re in a studio and fancy dining with some pals, why not head out to the courtyard, or even take a picnic to the nearby park?

Whether or not you want to eat al fresco, it’s easy to keep the fridge full - there’s a supermarket just over the road, with another much bigger (and slightly cheaper) one five minutes’ walk away. The diverse local community also means there are great options for buying a dizzying array of international foods from small local stores.

There’s free bike storage on site, so you can get back speedily on two wheels - in fact, with canals, green space and the river all nearby, cycling is a wonderful way to get to know your new home.
