Not sure when it opens but last year I was able to choose the exact room but as I didn't get my offer until late April nearly all the cheaper/closer halls were gone, I choose the cheapest ensuite available but that was still close to £13500/year!

Yes, the price is shocking but that was all that was available, Stamford street is much cheaper as are a few of the others and if you already have an offer than you should get a better choice as it's still early. I got Julian Markham House, the only other accommodation available was Canada Water which was about the same price but miles further out. you can change your accommodation once so I checked daily to see if anything else came up but it didn't. I didn't end up going to KCL as I just missed out on the grades (They want A*AA, I got AAA) so am now at Bath, in fact I am happy I didn't get KCL as Bath is an amazing uni in a beautiful city
