London
Student Halls

Yes, you can. Sanctuary Students provides private student halls in London that are not affiliated with any particular college or university. Our London student accommodation options offer a clean, safe place to live in the city, ideal for students studying in any of the local universities. It doesn’t matter where you study, you can find a home with us!

While London is known for its higher living costs, it’s still possible to find affordable student halls in London with a bit of planning. Start your search early and compare locations, facilities, and what’s included in the rent. Sanctuary Students offers competitively priced London student halls with all bills included, helping you budget more easily and enjoy your time in the city without unexpected costs.

London offers a fantastic range of student accommodation options to suit different needs and budgets. From university-managed halls of residence to private student halls in London, there’s something for everyone. Sanctuary Students provides a variety of comfortable, secure rooms across the city, including en-suite and shared options, perfect for both undergraduate and postgraduate students looking for a supportive living environment.

We offer a wide range of private and shared accommodation for students, including large en-suite double rooms, student studios, short term lets, and 2-bedroom student flats. So whether you're looking for a cosy single student room or a private apartment to enjoy with your friend or partner, we have you covered.

Private student halls in London often provide greater flexibility and a wider choice of locations compared to university-managed halls. You’ll typically benefit from modern facilities, inclusive bills, and a diverse student community. University-managed accommodation, such as University of London halls of residence, are usually located close or on campus and provide a more traditional student experience. While these can offer a close-knit campus lifestyle, private student housing in London allows you to explore more of what the city has to offer and often caters to a broader range of students, including postgraduates.

Most of us who work at Sanctuary Students have been students so we know only too well how the quality of short term lets in London can vary. Few private landlords offer fully inclusive rent, keep their buildings as well maintained as we do, offer secure entry and exit, CCTV, communal areas or internet!

Plus, we guarantee the quality of all our accommodation. Each building is fully maintained and has everything you need to begin living right away. Did we mention that our London student halls come with free contents insurance too?
