Featured Property
The Lyra

The Lyra's single most practical feature is the one-minute walk to North Acton Tube Station.
The Central Line from North Acton runs directly through the centre of London including Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court Road and Bank, without needing to change trains.
This makes the rest of the city accessible quickly, which is what matters most when you're studying or commuting to any of London's universities.

The building has studio apartments and has amenities such as a gym, a rooftop terrace with views across London, social spaces, study areas, and secure parcel lockers.
Westfield London at Shepherd's Bush is five minutes by Tube, useful for shopping and for a wide range of food options.

All utility bills, superfast Wi-Fi and contents insurance are included in the weekly rent. 24/7 on-site support and CCTV throughout.

From £347.42 per week.

Student Life in the City
London

  • Living in West London as a Student

    West London gives you the best of both worlds.
    Far enough from the centre to be affordable, close enough to get anywhere in 20 minutes on the Central Line.
    North Acton puts Westfield, the University of West London, and a direct route to every major campus in the city within easy reach.

    Living in South London as a Student

    For King's College students in particular, the location is hard to beat.
