- Percentage of First Year Students in Halls:
- All who want it, which is about 40%
|
- Accommodation Details:
- First years are likely to be in catered blocks with single rooms. Some are very nice, some are OK and some are 'not that super' to quote someone we talked to. There is self-catering available but it's mostly for postgrads. It's probably best to go for Petrie Court when applying. Try to avoid Hayworth. Only non-Londoners will be guaranteed accommodation. Halls are described as very expensive.
The local area has all the problems you would expect of London. The best places to look are Camden, Hackney and Harrington. If you do get stuck then the union has a good housing advisory service to help out.

- Local Area:
- City is located just north and east of trafalgar square so is very well located for the centre of town. The West End is about 15 minutes away. It is fair to say that London is the pub, club and social centre of Britain. so it would be impossible for unofficial-guides.com to give a comprehensive guide to London, simply because there is not enough room and that it is always changing. What we do advise is that you buy a copy of Time Out and Time Out, the Students Guide to London. They will give you a better understanding of what London is like...from a non-tourist point of view, and it will keep you at the cutting edge of the London social scene.
