Once you have chosen your perfect student home, it's easy to book. You can book via the website or reach out to the sales team via live chat or email bookings.uk@scape.com to secure your space. Booking via the website takes 10 minutes to complete. Firstly, select the Scape property you would like to live in, choose your preferred room type. For the first step of the booking process, you need to select the booking period, bed and floor you wish to book.   

 Once you're ready to book you'll need to create a Scape account and fill in your contact details. Then review and sign your tenancy contract and put down a 2-week advanced rent payment. Your booking is then confirmed. If you don't want to miss out on your perfect room or other opportunities but need a few days to think about it, we'd recommend putting a room on hold. This can be done by selecting your ideal room, creating a Scape account, and submitting your contact details. We will then take the room off the market and allow you up to 72 hours to complete the final steps of the booking journey. You will receive an email confirming your room choice has been saved for you

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

For those studying at LSBU, our most convenient locations are Canada Water, Hammersmith, Shoreditch and Mile End. 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, wifi 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.   .

Choosing your university accommodation can be challenging with so many accommodation options available. We want to make the process easier for you, and we’re here to play a part in helping you find the perfect place to call home during your studies. 

 For first-year students, the main options are university halls or purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) like Scape. While university halls 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 en-suite bathrooms. 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 houses. 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 searching for places can be tricky. 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, as such, our buildings reflect this. We know it can be a bit hard moving to a new city, especially if it’s your first time living away from home and if it’s not just a new city, but a new country you’re moving to. We have fully trained members of staff present on site 24/7, CCTV and secure access doors on the outside and inside the building. You'll always see a friendly face at the 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 in the heart of the city, some of the most popular activities include libraries, museums, tube station, restaurants, cafes, and the best nightlife the capital has to offer. Navigating London’s transport system is key to getting around. The most common mode is the tube, which connects all our properties, major universities, campuses and neighbourhoods. Buses are another affordable option for getting around the city. London has so many attractions for you to explore.
