When choosing your City university student accommodation for the main campus or Bayes business school, you have a few different options, depending on what year you are in. If you are going into your first year of university, typically your choice is between university halls and purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), such as Scape. University halls are a great option for many for student housing, but they tend to be quite basic in terms of facilities and it can be very difficult to get an en-suite room – which could mean sharing a bathroom with up to six people. At Scape, on the other hand, all our rooms are en-suite as standard, our shared spaces are premium and newly refurbished, and you have access to a range of amenities including a on-site gym and cinema room. When compared to other PBSAs, we have the most central and convenient locations, our shared spaces are of a higher spec, and we have fully trained Scape staff on-site 24/7.  

In second or third year, you will most likely no longer have the option of living in student halls, but you do have the option to move into a private residence such as a flat or sharing a house with friends. With this option, there is no guarantee of an en suite room. Typically, private accommodation rented to students is not of the highest quality, your bills won’t be included, and you have no staff support. You could instead choose to live in one of our large apartments with friends and continue to enjoy all the benefits that Scape offers, including not having to worry about bills and getting your communal areas cleaned on a regular basis.  

If you are entering your postgraduate studies in London, we know that searching for places can be tricky and a hard ask in finding affordable accommodation nearby to your university. We often find that our postgraduates like living with a little more privacy in a studio or an apartment- in all our London locations we can offer this comfortable and private living set up.

The building you select is down to personal preference. All our properties feature the same benefits: all rooms have a private en-suite, there is a range of room types to choose from, thoughtfully designed, premium shared spaces, excellent facilities including study zones, gym, cinema room and bike storage and regular socials and events. Unsure which building to choose? We recommend booking a tour to come and see the place in person. If you’re based overseas, we do also have video tours available. For more information, email bookings.uk@scape.com or book a tour via the website. 

Whether you’ve visited London before, you’ll find being a student in one of the greatest cities in the world is an exciting experience. By choosing Scape for your accommodation, you’re choosing to live right 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 libraries, museums, restaurants, cafes and the best of the capital's nightlife.     

Transportation around London is important to understand, you will get very familiar with the tube map! 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.

Our residents’ safety, wellbeing and comfort are our core focus at Scape and, as such, our buildings reflect this.  

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. 

At all of our Scape properties your commute to campus is easy, getting to the city centre is still super simple.  

Depending on which campus you are based out of, we have a property just around the corner.  

With City, University of London main campus in Northampton Square and Bayes Business School based out of Moorgate, the capital's financial centre, our closest property to both campuses is Scape Shoreditch, a quick stroll away - only 15 minutes by foot.  

Scape Bloomsbury is also only a 20-minute walk from City law school.  

Get from Canada Water to Bayes business school within a 40-minutes by bus or tube. 

All the other services and amenities you need for your studies are within easy reach of our accommodation.
