The huge shopping centre Westfield London is just a couple of minutes’ walk from your student accommodation. Shop the big department stores, watch a film or eat out at one of the many cafés, restaurants and takeaway stores. Jump on a bus to Notting Hill Gate and wander down to Portobello Road, past antique markets, towards the fresh food markets. Stop for coffee in Coffee Plant then catch a movie at Electric Cinema where you can have a drink at the bar beforehand. Keep fit with a jog through Holland Park, and enjoy shopping trips to Kensington High Street, not far from your West London home.

With excellent transport links to the rest of London, you’ll find it easy to pick the best route to university. Choose from three tube lines with Holland Park and Latimer Road stations five minutes’ walk away. There are a number of bus routes passing by your home, which will take you to Oxford Street, Kensington, Knightsbridge or beyond. Reach the colleges and universities around Russell Square (like University College London or University of London) in around half an hour, as well as King’s College London and London School of Economics and Political Sciences (LSE).  

Come home to your studio each day, passing through the secure entry and putting your bike in the bike storage for safekeeping. There’s CCTV and a friendly management team for complete peace of mind. With a variety of different sized studios to choose from, you’ll find the one that suits you best. Each has a private shower room and fully-equipped kitchen so you can make yourself tea and toast, sitting at the breakfast bar to eat. 

Your utilities and internet are included in your rent, so you can spend hours online researching without worrying about the bills. Study at your desk using the shelving in your room to store your books. Get your laundry sorted in the laundry room and then take a break to watch TV in your room, or play pool with friends in the communal lounge.
