Student Accommodation in
Greenwich, London

Studios at The Greenwich Student Collective are priced per week, with rates varying by studio type and whether you book as single or dual occupancy. Live pricing and availability is shown in our Rooms section as bookings come through.

The weekly rate covers your studio plus all bills (Wi-Fi, water, electricity, heating), full use of the building's amenities, and on-site management support.

For comparison, average student studio rents in London range from £350-£500 per week according to HEPI data. Greenwich offers strong value because rents are below Zone 1 levels while the DLR puts you in Central London in around 15 minutes.

Yes, all bills are included in the weekly rent. There are no separate charges for Wi-Fi, water, electricity, or heating. You pay one fixed weekly amount and that covers everything in your studio and full access to the building's shared amenities.

This makes budgeting straightforward, particularly for international students who would otherwise have to set up utility accounts, navigate UK billing cycles, and manage providers. With us, you arrive, the studio is fully connected, and there are no surprises at the end of the month.

The only extra costs you may incur are personal: food, toiletries, laundry detergent.

No hidden fees. The advertised weekly rent is what you pay each week, there are no admin charges, viewing fees, or surprise add-ons at booking.

You will pay a refundable deposit when you sign your contract, returned at the end of your tenancy provided the studio is left in good condition. In the UK, tenancy deposits are protected under government-approved schemes such as the Tenancy Deposit Scheme.

There are no charges for using the gym, cinema room, library, or any other shared amenity, these are part of your rent. There is no charge for guests visiting at reasonable hours.

The cancellation policy is set out in your contract at booking.

The University of Greenwich main campus, at the Old Royal Naval College on Park Row, is approximately a 5-minute walk from The Greenwich Student Collective. We are located at 3-5 Tunnel Avenue, just off Greenwich High Road in SE10.

If you study at the Avery Hill campus, you can reach it in about 20 minutes via the 53 or 472 bus. The Medway campus, in Chatham, is a longer commute, accessible via train from London Bridge.

Walking to the main Greenwich campus means you can get from bed to lecture theatre in under 15 minutes including time to grab a coffee on the way. This is one of the things that consistently comes up in feedback from residents.

Greenwich is one of South East London's safer and most popular neighbourhoods. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracts millions of visitors a year, and has the kind of pedestrian footfall that keeps streets active through the evening.

Our building has 24/7 CCTV monitoring covering all entry points and shared spaces, secure key-fob entry restricted to residents and authorised staff, and on-site management during the day. Studios have individual locks and an en-suite bathroom, so there is no shared circulation outside your private space.

For context, Greenwich has lower reported crime rates than several inner-London boroughs according to Metropolitan Police data. Like anywhere in London, common sense applies, but most international students settle in quickly and feel comfortable walking back from the university or local pubs.

The fastest route is the DLR from Cutty Sark station, about a 10-minute walk from the building. From Cutty Sark, Bank (City of London) is around 15 minutes, Canary Wharf is around 5 minutes, Stratford is around 25 minutes, and Tower Gateway near Tower Bridge is around 12 minutes.

For Central London proper such as the West End, Soho, or Covent Garden, the typical route is DLR to Bank then Northern or Central line. Total journey is roughly 25-30 minutes door to door.

The Uber Boat (Thames Clipper) also stops at Greenwich Pier, offering a scenic 25-minute ride to London Bridge or 40 minutes to Embankment. A monthly pass is good value if you commute regularly.

Night buses N1 and N89 serve Greenwich into the early hours.

Yes, every studio is fully furnished and move-in ready. Your studio includes a double bed with mattress, wardrobe and storage, study desk and chair, en-suite bathroom (shower, basin, WC), kitchenette with hob and microwave and fridge, and a window with blinds.

You don't need to bring furniture or kitchen appliances. Bring your personal items, books, cookware preferences, and bedding if you want your own. Beyond that you are set.

For international students arriving with one or two suitcases, this is by design. You can land at Heathrow on a Sunday and start university on Monday without having to assemble an IKEA flatpack.

All residents have access to the building's shared amenities at no extra cost. These include a gym with cardio and weights equipment, cinema room for film nights and gaming sessions, library for quiet study, gaming room with consoles, social kitchen for cooking together or hosting friends, landscaped courtyard for outdoor downtime, laundry facilities on-site, secure bike storage, 24/7 Wi-Fi throughout the building, and on-site management for any maintenance or admin issues.

These are designed as part of the experience, not as add-ons. Our residents tell us the shared spaces are where most of the friendships form, which is particularly important for international students who arrive without a local network.

Yes, you can have guests in your studio. Friends and family are welcome to visit during reasonable hours.

For overnight guests, please follow the guidance in your tenancy agreement and let on-site management know if anyone will be staying for more than a night or two. This is for security so the team knows who is in the building.

We don't allow parties or events that disturb other residents. The social kitchen and cinema room are better spots for larger gatherings, and the landscaped courtyard is open to all residents.

Standard tenancy terms apply: your guests are your responsibility while they are in the building.

Booking takes three steps and can be completed online.

First, browse available studios in our Rooms section. Each studio shows live availability, pricing, and photos.

Second, submit a booking enquiry through the form at the bottom of this page. Provide your basic details, intended move-in date, and any questions.

Third, we confirm your studio and send a booking offer with the deposit amount and contract details. Once signed and the deposit is paid, the studio is held for you.

If you want to view the building in person before booking, you can request a viewing through the same form. We also offer virtual tours for international students who can't visit before move-in.

Most bookings complete within 48 to 72 hours from initial enquiry to confirmed studio.

Standard contracts run for the academic year, typically 51 weeks from September to August, aligned with the University of Greenwich calendar. This is the most common option for full-time degree students.

We also offer shorter contracts depending on availability and your circumstances, suitable for postgraduate students, exchange students, and others with non-standard schedules.

If you have an unusual situation such as late starts, study abroad arrivals, or summer-only stays, get in touch during your enquiry and we will see what we can offer.

Shorter contracts tend to carry a slightly higher weekly rate than the full academic year, which is standard practice across London student housing.

A UK-based guarantor is usually required for standard contracts. The guarantor is typically a parent or family member with a UK address and income, who acts as a financial backstop if rent payments are missed.

For international students without UK guarantor access, we accept alternatives. The most common is advance rent payment, paying the full term upfront which removes the need for a guarantor. Third-party guarantor services like Housing Hand provide a UK guarantor for a fee. Employer or sponsor guarantees work for students on funded placements or scholarships.

We don't want guarantor requirements to block genuine applicants, particularly international students. Talk to us about your situation during enquiry and we will find a workable route.
