Accommodation information
Explore accommodation options for UWS London students and find useful guidance on securing safe, convenient housing while studying in the capital.
Accommodation in London
While we do not have UWS-managed student accommodation in London, the city offers a wide range of accommodation options such as privately let properties and many operators that provide specific student accommodation. Private accommodation is let out and managed by private companies, landlords and estate agents, which can make the search process complex for international students booking from abroad. To help simplify your search, we have selected two specialised student accommodation providers that offer verified options with dedicated student support.
Amber Students
AmberStudents is a global platform dedicated to helping students find and book long-term accommodation near their universities. They offer 24/7 support, ensuring assistance is available whenever needed.
Student Pad
Studentpad is an online platform for student accommodation which has been helping students find their perfect pad for over 24 years. Find student rooms near UWS London with our modern, fast and user-friendly database of student housing.
