Have you tried looking on spare student room? I’m afraid it’s so close to the start of term that I highly doubt anyone will be giving up their room willingly unless for unforeseen reasons. Keep checking the portal as you never know if rooms come up but try calling king’s residences as you should be guaranteed accommodation as you’re in your first year. They should help you

I didn’t want to take my chances booking angel bevause the likelihood that come one would swap gds,wolfson or orchid for angel which is further out and more expensive is quite unlikely. Have you heard of 2nd,3rd year students taking over rooms from people who terminate contracts ?
