Choose the right starting point
Where should I rent for my King's campus?
Choose your actual teaching campus first. Strand, Waterloo and Guy's are different destinations, and some courses use other sites. Compare the full route from the building entrance, not just a postcode or a station.
Strand / Bush House
Compare Holborn, Bloomsbury and the north bank around Aldwych. Blackfriars and South Bank addresses can also be considered, but check river crossings and the final walk to your department.
Waterloo / Stamford Street
Start with Waterloo, South Bank and Southwark. Elephant & Castle offers a wider search with transport to compare. Use your actual building, such as Franklin-Wilkins, as the destination.
Guy's / London Bridge
Compare London Bridge, Bermondsey and Southwark. Check the full route from each property to your teaching building; a district label does not establish walking distance.
Apartments to compare for your university
These homes are currently marked on market. Check the full journey to your teaching building: some options require public transport. Rent is for the whole apartment, with bills excluded; availability must be reconfirmed.

Can one flat work for Strand, Waterloo and Guy’s?
It may, depending on your timetable and the exact address. Check each required journey separately, including the river crossing and walks from the station. Send Valerio your main campus and any other regular teaching site so the shortlist can prioritise the journeys you actually make. These are private rentals, not university-approved accommodation.

Compare areas and current homes
Start with Blackfriars, Bermondsey or Elephant & Castle where the journey fits your campus. The campus buttons above open current search results; they do not mean that every home is adjacent to the university. If nothing fits, ask for alternatives rather than assuming an archived listing is still available.
Your whole-home budget
Advertised rent is for the whole home, with bills excluded. Add utilities, internet, transport and Council Tax where applicable. Our listed homes use a five-week tenancy deposit. A two-bedroom rent is not the per-person price, and sharing depends on the permitted household and referencing.
Read the international-student questions, guarantor options and rental rules from 1 May 2026 before applying.
What to send with a shortlist request
Tell Valerio your exact King’s campus and teaching building, move-in date, whole-home monthly budget, bedroom needs and number of people. Mention any other teaching site and whether you need help checking guarantor requirements. Do not attach passports or financial documents to the initial enquiry. Remote viewings can be arranged where access allows.
