Heyy anyone else staying at langton close from sept?

What is Langton close like? That’s my accommodation for this September!!

I just moved out of langton close!! It was truly such a great accom, the biggest concern I had was the bathrooms, I was really lucky that I shared my flat and bathroom with only 4 other girls but some flats shared with up to 8 people, with two bathrooms. everything was always clean, and the bathrooms and kitchen are cleaned so often you kind of forget you’re sharing. In comparison, other accommodations that share bathrooms share between their whole floor and it’s always a mess. So I would say Langton Close if very good for clean bathrooms and you’ll only ever be sharing a bathroom with 3/4 other people. And i’ve heard of same flats even sharing between 2 people if you’re lucky. We share most things with Frances Gardener, so you’ll meet loads of people from there too. But this means the laundry room is almost always busy, so do laundry in the morning definitely. It’s a 15-20 minute walk to uni (if you’re fast, if not like a 25 minute walk) , but this walk does get a bit annoying because it can’t equate to almost an hour everyday of just walking and also if you’re running late to a lecture ( It’s 8-10 minutes walking to king’s cross too and there’s always so much happening in King’s Cross. loads of (popular and trending) restaurants and things happen there, loads of pop up stores and I’ve managed to see a couple of famous people performing there (ed sheeran and will smith for example) It’s also a 15-20 minute walk to Farringdon Station, and a short bus ride to Camden too. The biggest thing about these walks is the grocery shopping; as a student you’ll want to shop in places like Lidl, which the nearest one is around a 25-30 minute walk (right behind uni campus) and can be quite a lot when you’ve done grocery shopping and walking back with heavy bags. There is a ‘shopping centre’ nearby (like a 5-7 minute walk) and there’s a waitrose there (expensive but is a really huge supermarket, the biggest one in the area) and there’s also a tesco express there and a sainsbury’s too (a small one), but these are all expensive. In that shopping centre, there’s loads of restaurants and things to eat, like nando’s for example. my favourite place to go was the slim chickens there personally. In general most places are walkable from Langton Close, I would often walk to southbank and walk along the riverfront which was around 30-40 minutes walking (or you can take the bus), and it’s beautiful there. Reception and security staff are great too. I would definitely recommend spending the first few weeks in the common room in the basement, as that’s where everyone was in freshers and that’s where I made most of my friends in my accom. Overall, langton close is such a good accom for first year!!! Anymore questions just ask!

When moving in, are the rooms allocated or is it a first come first serve basis?

Were there any maintenance issues like WiFi, heating and water? How good is the communication w the maintenance/reception staff? And do you know what the regular single rooms are like? Are they reasonable sized?
