UCL Accommodation

UCL Accommodation The Official page for UCL Accommodation. Your official source for information, news and updates on UCL Accommodation. Students create the communities.

We provide the facilities. UCL’s Accommodation team manages around 25 halls and student houses in central London – ranging in size from almost 500 rooms to just 17 rooms. Most of our residences are close to campus in Bloomsbury, one of London’s most desirable neighborhoods. We also have properties in Camden and Victoria – exciting areas with their own quirks and treasures. Despite London’s expensi

ve property market and the pressure on student accommodation, UCL’s prices are kept as low as possible and are amongst the cheapest in the area. Our team also works hard to enhance the experience of every student staying with us. Of course, there’s the social committee to help you have fun. But our friendly wardens and our committed cleaning and maintenance teams are also on hand to help you out. We believe it’s everyone’s role to help ensure that every resident in UCL Accommodation feels at home. As much as our professional staff, it’s our students who build strong communities that look out for each other. We’re striving to provide every student with an experience as befits one of the world’s greatest universities in one of the most exciting cities on earth. So, welcome to UCL Accommodation: helping you live, learn, and love London.
