When choosing your University of Westminster accommodation near to Wells Street campus or Cavendish campus, you have a few different options, which depend on your year of study. 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 when it comes to 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 excellent facilities such as an on-site gym and cinema room. When compared to other PBSAs, we have the most central and convenient locations, our shared spaces and facilities 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 Westminster university halls, but you can choose to move into a private residence such as a flat or house share 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 can vary from month to month, 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. 

How you get to and from University of Westminster's campuses will depend on which campus you’re studying at - Harrow, or Marylebone-based campuses, Wells Street and Cavendish, and which Scape property you choose to live at. Being in central London, there are ample nearby bus stops, underground and rail stations near to the different campuses, including Oxford Circus, Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road.  

The closest stations to our different Scape properties are:  

• Wembley – Wembley Park (Metropolitan and Jubilee lines) 

• Shoreditch – Old Street (Northern line)  and Shoreditch High Street (Overground) 

• Canada Water – Canada Water (Jubilee and Overground) 

All our buildings in London are in great neighbourhoods with fast transport links across the city. If being close to campus is important to you, we’d recommend Scape Wembley, be on campus in 20 minutes via the Met line.  

If your studies are based out of Regent Street, Fitzrovia or Marylebone campus, we would recommend living at Scape Shoreditch, Bloomsbury, or Canada Water. Get to campus within 30 minutes via the Jubilee or Circle line.

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 anyway they can. 

London is known as one of the greatest cities in the world and if it’s your first experience of the Big Smoke, it won’t disappoint. By choosing Scape for your UCL 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 activities, libraries, museums, restaurants, cafes and the best of the capital's nightlife.  Discover the best of the West End, Soho, Notting Hill, Shoreditch, institutions like the British Museum, British Library, Westfield shopping centre.
