You’re between London Bridge and Waterloo here, which is one of the best-connected spots in the city. The South Bank stretches out in both directions. The Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe, Borough Market and the National Theatre are all within fifteen minutes’ walk. Borough Market alone is worth living here for if you like food. King’s College (Guy’s campus) is a ten-minute walk, and LSE and UCL are easy to reach. It’s a genuinely good area to live in, not just a convenient one.
All rooms are self-contained studios with your own bathroom and kitchenette. The building has a cinema room, study areas, social spaces and a private dining area you can book. Laundry facilities are on site. Your rent includes all bills, Wi-Fi and contents insurance, with 24/7 security staff.
