Local students call it the Blue Tower. The View is 17 storeys on Barrack Road. You can see it from most of central Newcastle. Upper-floor rooms have views across the city that are unusual at this price point, and people who book them tend to mention it as a deciding factor.
Newcastle University‘s main campus is 12 minutes on foot. Northumbria University‘s City Campus is 15 minutes in the other direction. Newcastle Business School is 2 minutes. It’s one of the few addresses in Newcastle where students at both universities have a genuinely similar commute.
Haymarket bus station is eight minutes away, useful for Metro connections and the wider bus network.
We are currently undertaking external enhancement works at The View to further improve the building and surrounding environment. Some works may continue during the 2026/27 academic year, with measures in place to minimise disruption.
