Where Will I Live?

Accommodation for students is typically arranged in halls of residence that are divided into self contained flats with communal bathroom and kitchen/dining areas. Your letting fee will usually include utility bills such as gas, water, electricity and WiFi. Most residences will have on-site management and maintenance teams available during working hours and security staff on duty overnight. Unlike many other universities, London Met does not own or manage its own halls of residence. However, there are a number of privately owned halls located within a few miles of London Met’s Holloway and Aldgate campuses. These may offer single, twin, studio or shared rooms with ensuite or communal bathroom facilities and shared kitchen/dining areas.
