Where do students live in London

London students typically live close to their university campus rather than in a single student district, as the capital’s universities are spread across all areas of the city. Students at universities in central and inner London — including UCL, King’s, LSE and City — tend to live in zones 1 and 2, while those at institutions further out, such as Brunel, University of East London and Kingston University, often live in the outer zones with good transport connections to campus.

Getting around London

London has an extensive public transport network including the Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line, buses, and national rail services. Most students travel on an 18+ Student Oyster photocard, which provides discounted fares on TfL services. Journey times across the capital vary widely — choosing accommodation close to your university campus is the most effective way to reduce commuting time.
