INFORMATION
LIVING IN LONDON London is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city with a great deal to offer its student population. The city is home to many of world’s finest museums, and there are an abundance of cultural sights and events to take in, as well as great entertainment on offer. Students living in London have the opportunity to take advantage of many exciting opportunities during their time studying in the capital. However London is also a huge sprawling city. Chances are you will be studying at a college or university in Central London (eg. Bloomsbury, Paddington, West End, etc), and you will not want your housing to be located too far from your place of study. However private accommodation in West and Central London is very expensive. In our Intercollegiate Halls, and through Student Homes properties, we offer the chance for you in live near your college and still enjoy the best of what London has to offer.
Sprawling London is organised by boroughs, each with their own distinct flavour. Generally London can be split by North (N), East (E), South West (SW), South East (SE), West (W) and Central, and this is reflected in the housing post codes (eg. E1, or SE19). Each borough has a council, and will offer many valuable resources to you as a resident. Once you know which borough you will live in, do have a look at your borough’s website for useful information. The UoL Intercollegiate Halls fall within the borough of Camden and Westminster. Student Homes alternatively has a range of properties throughout London’s boroughs, which can be seen in the Property Map on pages 8-9. The following page offers a handful of helpful links used by Londoners providing information on living in London - from how to get around, to local classified adverts.

Currently there are 5 Colleges subscribing to the scheme, with at least 2 additional institutions due to join the scheme for the 2015/16 academic year: • SOAS • Kings College London • Goldsmiths • London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine • Royal Academy of Music
Student Homes properties have been carefully selected so that they are all within a 30 minute door-to-door commute of campus. Your College will act as your guarantor when you live in a Student Homes property, meaning you don’t need a personal guarantor. Simple.
HALLS OF RESIDENCE
All the properties in our Student Homes scheme are managed by the University of London. We act as your landlord, so you won’t need to have contact with the property owner. Student Homes tenants get good-quality private sector housing, with the benefit of University management and support.

INFORMATION
OUR PROPERTIES • All properties are within a 30 minute door-to-door commute to and from campus.
HALLS OF RESIDENCE
STUDENT HOMES
• Student Homes properties are all professionally surveyed before being rented to students, to ensure that they are safe and suitable for us to rent to you. • All properties are professionally cleaned before you start your tenancy. • Your College acts as your guarantor, which means if you don’t have a UK based guarantor you will not need to pay 6 months or more rent in advance, something which is commonplace when renting through private letting agents in London. • All tenancies within the scheme include contents insurance provided by Endsleigh. This insurance is specific to students and includes accidental damage cover.
• A number of our properties are available for distance bookings, for those students who are unable to visit London to view properties before the start of the tenancies. We don’t want overseas students to miss out on our properties! • Our rooms are reasonably priced, and we aim to offer something for most budgets. We calculate rents using data gathered from our Student Housing Survey, as well as other rent statistics. Room rates start at £100 p/w.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CAN I RENT A ROOM BEFORE I ARRIVE IN LONDON?
DO I NEED A GUARANTOR?
We have sourced a number of properties that lend themselves well to overseas or distance bookings. This is generally because the properties are in a particularly good location for your University Campus, have utilities included, or because they lend themselves well to individuals renting them. Please contact us if you are an overseas student, or are not located in London, and are looking for accommodation (without viewing) so we can point you in the right direction.
No! Your College acts as your guarantor.
ARE THE ROOMS FURNISHED? All properties come fully furnished - furniture which is generally included as standard in our properties is detailed below (please note, that there is some variance from property to property inevitably):
WHAT FEES WILL BE DUE? When you apply for your chosen room or property, a deposit equivalent to a month’s rent needs to be paid up front. This is refundable at the end of the tenancy. Student Homes charge an application fee too – this is £160 for new students and £80 for renewing students. The application fee isn’t refundable, a breakdown of our application fees can be viewed on the Student Homes website. Your first month’s rent is due before your tenancy begins - we generally ask students to pay their rent in August if their tenancy begins in September. Once you’ve moved in and your tenancy has begun rent will then be due on the 1st day of each subsequent month unless you opt to pay termly.

26 Intercollegiate Halls
INTRODUCTION TO THE INTERCOLLEGIATE HALLS Most students coming to London prefer to live in a hall of residence for their first year at University. This can be achieved either in halls provided by the college in which you are attending, or through the Intercollegiate Halls of the central University of London.
BENEFITS OF OUR HALLS AT A GLANCE: • Top Central London location • Great Value for money • Fees for catered rooms include daily meals (breakfast and dinner) • All fees include bills, utilities and residence fees • All rooms include bedding packs
We offer rooms in 5 Intercollegiate Halls, that include both catered and self-catered options in central London locations.
(except for rooms in Clandon House, and Gower/Hartington flats) • We offer a number of self-catering studios, flats, and family apartments

HALLS OF RESIDENCE
• International Hall • College Hall • Nutford House • Lillian Penson Hall We also offer self-catered rooms and flats in our locations at • Clandon House • Gower Street • Hartington Road
PASTORAL CARE A major part of the appeal of our Halls is that they are aided by the support of a Warden. A team of residential Senior Members also assists the Warden with pastoral, disciplinary and social duties within the hall to promote a supportive and harmonious living environment for students. The Warden and Senior Members offer support and guidance with problems such as academic difficulties, health and emotional issues, social concerns, and disputes between residents. They also often organise fun events for the residents throughout the year.
