UCL Accom 24/25 Swap

I have a single ensuite room at St Pancras Way (weekly rent of £352.94 for 39 weeks, small double bed size) and I'm willing to swap it for a single NON-ensuite room at any of the following halls with a weekly rent below £310:
- Astor College
- Gardens Hall
- John Dodgson
- John Adams
- Ian Baker
- Connaught

Also willing to negotiate with any other halls within a 15-minute walking distance from UCL.

I visited St Pancras Way a few days ago, and it's super modern and clean. It's also at a great location relative to London: located in Camden Town, 13 mins walk to King's Cross Station and Coal Drop's Yard. My only problem is that I'm not a walking person so a 25 mins walk to UCL is personally a stretch for me. Hence I'm willing to give up my own toilet for a closer distance to the campus.

Let me know if you're interested!

Hi! I have a catered single (non-en-suite) at Ramsay Hall for £284.9 per week. I know you’ve not listed this hall but it is connected to Ian Baker house and is a 5 minute walk to UCL. I would love to swap as I really want a private bathroom. Does your offer still hold?

Hey! I’m so sorry I no longer have this room as I’ve been reallocated to a single en-suite at James Lighthill. I hope you find what you’re looking for!

How did you reallocate your accom

I emailed accoms saying that I need a swap due to health reasons and attached evidence for the same! They got back to me in a few days.


Oh okay that makes sense. Do you mind if I ask what the health reason was because I don’t know what they’ll consider. Thanks.

Hey! I got a single self-catered room in Schafer house, which is 7 min walk away from UCL main campus. It’s 250ppw for 39 weeks. Would you be interested in swapping? I really want to find a catered accommodation 🙂

Hi, how did you get reallocated? Did you directly contact the accommodation department and did you have any special circumstances that would require a swap? I'm also currently in the process of trying to change accoms.

I emailed accoms making them aware of a health risk. But I believe you should now have a swap option on the UCL portal available.
