What is it like being a student in London?
London is a very exciting city to live in, even if you’ve never visited London before, you’ll find being a student in one of the greatest cities in the world is a great experience. Our Scape buildings are located in the heart of the action, so that you can easily experience the best of what London has to offer - some of the most popular restaurants, libraries, bars, museums, shopping, cafes and the best of the capital's nightlife.
The transport around London is very easy and quick once you get into the swing of it – we recommend downloading city mapper app to help you plan your journeys from A to B
The most common mode of transport is the tube which connects all our rentals to the best schools and neighbourhoods in the city. Buses are another cheaper method of transport for those who are a little more price sensitive.

How is Scape different to other accommodation providers?
When selecting your student accommodation, you have several options depending on your year of study. With numerous rental properties and listings to consider, finding the right place can require a lot of research—but we’re here to simplify your decision-making process.
For first-year students, the typical options are university halls or purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) like a Scape property. While university halls may be suitable for many, they are often basic in terms of facilities and finding an en-suite room can be challenging, meaning you might have to share a bathroom and kitchen with up to six people. At Scape, however, every room—from en-suites to studios and shared apartments—comes with an en-suite bathroom as standard. Our shared spaces are premium, newly refurbished, and come with a range of amenities, including an on-site gym and a cinema room. Compared to other PBSAs, we offer the most central and convenient locations, higher-quality shared spaces, and fully trained staff on-site 24/7.
In your second or third year, university halls may no longer be an option. You may consider moving into a private flat or sharing a house with friends. However, private accommodation often lacks en-suite rooms, includes no bills, and offers little to no staff support. Alternatively, you could choose to stay at Scape in a larger apartment with friends and continue to enjoy all our amenities, including inclusive bills and regular cleaning of communal areas.
For postgraduate students in London, we understand that finding affordable and conveniently located accommodation can be challenging. Many postgraduates prefer the privacy of a studio or an apartment. At our London locations, we offer comfortable and private living arrangements to suit your needs.
How secure are Scape buildings?
At Scape, the safety, wellbeing, and comfort of our residents are our top priorities, and our buildings are designed to reflect this commitment.
We understand that moving to a new city, especially for the first time or from a different country, can feel overwhelming. To ease the transition, we have fully trained staff on-site 24/7, as well as CCTV and secure access doors throughout the building. You’ll always be greeted by a friendly face at reception, where our team is ready to support you in any way they can, ensuring that every resident feels at home in the welcoming environment we’ve created at Scape.
