UAL accommodation recommendations

So I have just had my interview from Central Saint Martins and got given a verbal offer and I started to look at accommodation. I’ve been to their Summer School and stayed in the Sketch House at Finsbury Park. However, many people told me that Finsbury Park is not the ‘safest’ of areas. I would like to ask if anyone who either stayed in London for uni or just lives in London, what are you opinions on the accommodations and which one do you recommend? Thanks

Hey! I’ve stayed in Finsbury Park for a couple of weeks before (not in the UAL accom) and I’d say it’s a pretty cool area! It’s got easy tube access, good cafes and a nice walk by the reservoir. Hope this helps!

Hey, not sure if this is still available but I was wondering if you’re looking for someone to fill your tenancy for just the summer or for the whole 24/5 year? I’m sure you just meant the summer but accom options are disappearing fast and I thought I’d check lol
