Private rented accommodation

If you choose to live in private accommodation, or if you have been unsuccessful in your hall application, you have plenty of options.

If you would like to discuss your options with us, please get in touch and we will do our best to help.

Partner Halls of Residence

These are owned by private companies that the University works in partnership with, to provide as many rooms for our students as possible. If you are interested in a room, please contact the provider directly, saying that you are a student at the University of Westminster.

Victoria Hall, Wembley

Victoria Hall is a smart hall of residence which is very convenient for all of our campuses. It is a well established and highly regarded provider of student accommodation nationwide, and all rooms at their Wembley Park development are en-suite.

Standard rooms are £199 and available on 43-week contracts.

Apt Student Living

This residence is part of the same development as our Student Court @ Wembley Hall of Residence, so you will be living in the same building as several hundred of our first year students.

These rooms are studio apartments and are available from £197.50 on 50-week contracts.

International Students House

International Students House (ISH) offers a vibrant, multicultural environment for students to live in. Over 100 nationalities are brought together each year, housed in single, twin, triple and quad rooms

Located a short walk from all of our central London campuses ISH offers great value combined with a fantastic location. The University has worked closely with ISH for many years and it is firmly established as one of the best regarded student accommodation providers in London.

Other private halls

While the companies listed above are our partner suppliers, there are also a number of other companies that provide hall-of-residence-style accommodation exclusively for students:

House-shares

The most common form of student accommodation is a flat or house share among a group of friends.

We currently run workshops in the summer devised to assist you in the process of finding your house/flat. In addition to these we have a Facebook group to help you talk to students in similar situations. Keep an eye on our webpages for this year’s workshop dates.

The University also operates a housing list, where private landlords can advertise their properties directly to our students. While these properties are not inspected, we do require copies of gas safety certificates and documentation proving ownership.

Here are the websites that proved most popular to our current and former students when seeking house shares:

We advise students to be careful when responding to private listings and avoid giving out any personal information until they are satisfied that an advert is genuine. One method that scammers sometimes use is to ask you to ‘prove funds’ by transferring money to a friend using Western Union - you should never do this.

It is usually necessary to pay a deposit and one month’s rent in advance of moving in.

If you have any questions about contracts or deposits, please get in touch with the team.

Studio apartments

If you want the privacy of having your own place, one option available is to rent a studio apartment. Both of our partner halls of residence have studio apartments available, but you may also want to check out University Hall, another company that offers student accommodation in London.
