Every year, hundreds of students choose Scape for their LSE housing needs. With years of experience building properties that cater to student requirements, we ensure that you have everything you need to make the most of your university experience. We offer six locations across London, each with 24/7 reception, a vibrant community, regular events, and prime locations. 

For those studying at LSE, our most convenient locations are Bloomsbury, Kings Cross, and Canada Water. 

At Scape, your move-in process is hassle-free. Your room comes with all bills included, no guarantor is required, and you’ll have access to modern amenities like an on-site gym and cinema room—everything you need to enjoy university life to the fullest. Come visit us and see why Scape is the perfect choice for your university home. 

If you’re looking for postgraduate accommodation, our properties are an excellent option. All our rooms include spacious desks and a variety of communal areas designed to support your study needs, making Scape the ideal home for postgraduate students. 

Choosing your university accommodation can be challenging with so many rental options available. We want to make the process easier for you. 

For first-year students, the main options are university dormitories or purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) like Scape. While university dormitories might meet basic needs, they often lack facilities like en-suite rooms, which could mean sharing a bathroom with up to six people. At Scape, we offer a variety of room types—all of which include private bathrooms—going beyond the traditional dormitory experience. Our shared spaces are modern and newly refurbished, and we provide amenities such as an on-site gym and cinema room. Compared to other PBSAs, we offer central, convenient locations, high-quality shared spaces, and dedicated staff on-site 24/7.

In your second or third year, you might no longer have the option of university halls and may consider renting a private residence, such as a flat or shared house. However, private rentals may not include en-suite rooms, utility bills, or support services. You can continue to enjoy the benefits of Scape by choosing one of our larger apartments to share with friends, with inclusive bills and regular cleaning services for communal areas. 

If you’re a postgraduate student in London, we know how tough it can be to find affordable and conveniently located accommodation. Many postgraduates prefer more privacy, which we offer through our studios and apartments available across all our London locations. 

Our residents’ safety, well-being, and comfort are our core focus at Scape, and our buildings are designed with these values in mind. With 24/7 security features like CCTV and secure keycard access, and prime locations close to universities, public transport, and essential amenities, we make sure our residents feel safe, supported, and connected from day one. 

We know it can be a bit daunting moving to a new city, especially if it is your first time living away from home and if it’s not just a new city, but a new country you’re moving to. As well as having a fully trained member of staff present on site 24/7, we have CCTV and secure access doors on the outside and inside of the building. You'll always see a friendly face at reception - the site team are there to support you, in any way they can, to help all our residents feel content with the happy environment at Scape. 

Being a student in London is an exciting experience. By choosing Scape, you’re opting to live right at the heart of the city — with unbeatable proximity to top universities, libraries, museums, restaurants, cafés, and the best nightlife the capital has to offer. With everything you need within easy reach, you’ll spend less time commuting and more time making the most of student life.

Navigating London’s transport system is key to getting around. The most common mode is the tube, which connects all our properties to major universities and neighbourhoods. Buses are another affordable option for getting around the city.
