Help! KCL accommodation advice

I put KCL as my insurance, messed up, so now I'm scrambling for accommodation. I don't have their guarantee for a place and their residence portal is closed until the 16th of August, so I have no idea whats going on with my application. I'm most likely going to apply for a private residence/co-uni but would love some advice!

Any recommendations (not too far from Strand Campus and not too expensive, preferably under £300/week) would be beyond amazing. :smile: Seriously stressing about this 🤢

Is that... below £300 per week, or month?

You're better off looking at places outside of the Strand area and say East London e.g. Tottenham Hale etc.

Sorry, meant to say £300 a week. Hoping to grab something that's under a 30 min metro/bus ride to the campus. Thanks!

Hi!
I have an ensuite at Julian Markham, Elephant and Castle. Close to every campus, 15-20 mins by bus. £259/pw. Let me know if you're willing to take over my agreement :smile:
