When choosing your university student accommodation and place, you have a few different options, depending on what year you are in and what your needs are. There are many rental properties on the market and lots of listings to work your way through and plenty of research to do! We want to make your decision a little easier.   

If you are going into your first year of university, typically your choice is between university halls and purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), such as a Scape property. Universities halls are a great option for many for student housing, but they tend to be quite basic in terms of facilities and it can be very difficult to get an en-suite room – which could mean sharing a bathroom with up to six people. At Scape, on the other hand, we have a selection of room types. But all our rooms (from en suites to studios to shared apartments) come with an ensuite bathroom as standard. Our shared spaces are premium and newly refurbished, and you have access to a range of amenities including an on-site gym and cinema room. When compared to other PBSAs, we have the most central and convenient locations, our shared spaces are of a higher spec, and we have fully trained Scape staff on-site 24/7.    

In second or third year, you will most likely no longer have the option of living in student halls, but you do have the option to move into a private residence such as a flat or sharing a house with friends. With this option, there is no guarantee of an en suite room. Typically, private accommodation rented to students is not of the highest quality, your bills won’t be included, and you have no staff support. You could instead choose to live in one of our large apartments with friends and continue to enjoy all the benefits that Scape offers, including not having to worry about bills and getting your communal areas cleaned on a regular basis.   

If you are entering your postgraduate studies in London, we know that searching for places can be tricky and a hard ask in finding affordable accommodation nearby to your university. We often find that our postgraduates like living with a little more privacy in a studio or an apartment- in all our London locations we can offer this comfortable and private living set up.   

If you’ve visited London before, you’ll find that being a student in one of the greatest cities in the world is an exciting experience. By choosing Scape for your accommodation, you’re choosing to live right in the heart of the action, with modern dormitory-style living, convenient on-site laundry facilities, and everything you need to enjoy student life to the fullest. From your doorstep, you can easily explore the best of London, including top libraries, museums, restaurants, cafes, and the city’s legendary nightlife. Live, study, and unwind in comfort, all in one perfect location.      

Transportation around London is important to understand, you will get very familiar with the tube map! The most common mode of transport is the tube, which connects all our rentals to the best schools and neighbourhoods in the city. Buses are another cheaper method of transport for those who are a little more price-sensitive.

Our residents’ safety, wellbeing and comfort are our core focus at Scape and, as such, our buildings reflect this.   

We know it can be a bit daunting moving to a new city, especially if it is your first time living away from home and if it’s not just a new city, but a new country you’re moving to. As well as having a fully trained member of staff present on site 24/7, we have CCTV and secure access doors on the outside and inside of the building. You'll always see a friendly face at reception - the site team are there to support you, in any way they can, to help all our residents feel content with the happy environment at Scape.  

We know that moving to a new city, especially if it’s your first time living away from home, can be daunting. That’s why we choose our onsite teams carefully and ensure that they are fully trained to support our residents in any way they need.

Our resident managers and site teams take the time to get to know residents and there will always be a member of the Scape team available onsite, 24/7 for a chat or a helping hand. 

At all our Scape properties, your commute distance to campus is easy, and getting to the city centre is still super simple.   

How you get to and from KCL will depend on which campus you’re studying at (KCL has a great range of campuses, from Guy’s and St Thomas’ near the River Thames, to Waterloo campus, Denmark Hill, and Holborn), and which Scape property you choose to live at. Being in central London, there are ample nearby bus stops, underground and rail stations close to the different campuses, including Covent Garden, Temple, and Holborn.
