The local area

  

Situated in central London in the Bayswater area, the Student House is in a quiet square, in easy walking distance of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. Our central location means great transport links to some of London's top universities and colleges.

The House is surrounded by a huge choice of supermarkets, libraries, pubs, restaurants and cinema - ideal for student life. Moreover, being right in the heart of London, most major tourist attractions are located within walking distance or are just a bus or tube ride away. Read on to learn more about the popular spots and how to move around our area.
