Finding Student Accommodation in London (UK)
If you have arrived here, I will guess you are looking for student living accommodation that puts you at the heart of London, one of the world's most exciting cities but with the ability to get away from it all. London has for a long time now been known as a student oriented city, with over 25 main Universities/Colleges, many of these establishments reside in central London.
Finding the ideal place to rent is sometimes difficult and time consuming for students in London. A new student accommodation project at Therese House EC1 in London has been completed and boasts some fantastic features. Therese House is popular with UK and international students for its central but secure and peaceful location with a superb range of studios and cluster flats. It's all modern, en-suite and furnished. Choose from a self contained studio or a study bedroom in a cluster flat - so you can live with friends or make new friends. There's a range of study bed and studio sizes including superior studios, some with double beds.
The vibe in EC1 is all about originality and it is packed with clubs, bars, trendy cafes and restaurants. In London you're surrounded by history: right on your doorstep you'll find St Paul's Cathedral and the City of London. Explore further and there's infinite inspiration. If you're into bars & restaurants you're in the right place, you will be close to Jamie Oliver's 'Fifteen' and just a short walk from Smithfield bars and restaurants. If shopping is your "bag" then there are numerous supermarkets, convenience stores and speciality shops nearby. For cheap and cheerful city chic look no further than Rivington Street's boutiques. Browse through the collectables at Brick Lane Market and pop by Spitalfields market to find just about anything. Entertainment & culture is abundant, apart from having the whole of London outside, you're also a stone's throw from Barbican Centre ? Europe's largest multi-arts venue. Take your pick from theatre, dance, music, art and film. A short bus ride takes you to trendy Islington with its independent cinema, 'The Screen on The Green' and a 9 screen multiplex showing the latest releases. Also, make sure you take in the many wonders of London, like St Paul's Cathedral, 'Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese' Fleet Street, East London Markets, Barbican Centre and the City of London to name but a few.
The well equipped accommodation lets you make the most of London's renowned university lifestyle, with the peace of mind that you and your possessions are safe and secure. The furnished and self contained accommodation includes: Fitted kitchens, en-suite rooms, double beds in superior studios, cluster flats for people sharing and inclusive rent with 4Mb broadband as standard (don't worry it's upgradeable). Creature comforts include secure cycle storage, vending machines, CCTV, card access and door intercom, 24 hour emergency help line, on site laundry, on site management and maintenance team, resident assistants and lifts.

Therese House couldn't be better situated to get in, around and out of London. Therese House is in a great location to soak up London - you can come and go from your student home with complete peace of mind. London's transport network is excellent and for such a big city it's surprisingly easy to find your way around - especially from Therese House. The nearest tube stop: Barbican (Zone 1) is only 2 minutes walk away - here you will find the Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City Lines. There is easy access to central London, UK and International Rail Stations. Don't worry though - London is easy to explore by bus and on foot also. Note that you will also only be 40 minutes from Heathrow via the underground.
As this development is so new and has not been advertised much yet, places may still be available!
