Depends which campus you'll be on.
Here's a rough idea...

Strand - SSA, Hayloft, Atlas, Moonraker and GDSA all relatively short travel times
Guys - Julian Markham, GDSA, moonraker
Waterloo - SSA, Moonraker, Battersea, Atlas

Angel Lane further but lux and good common spaces.

When you go into the portal, you see what's left so might not have lots of choice. Best to research all and then make a decision from what's there that you'd still be happy living in.

Hope that helps!

Hi all
My son firmed KCL dentistry. Any recommendations for suitable accommodation. Difficult to pay £330 per week.

The first thing to do is log into the portal and see what's available. I've created a spreadsheet (popped it into a message in this thread) so you can see prices etc but pls note distances are from Strand.

Check on kings website for distances to your son's campus.

It's going to be a bit more limited now anyway on what accommodation is actually available so best to check that but you can check all prices / distances before on KCL accommodation page.

Good luck!🤞
