Cedars Hall

Whether you choose a studio apartment or a room in a shared flat, Cedars Hall is conveniently pre-furnished. You’re an eight-minute cycle from St. George’s University of London, while a free shuttle service to Tooting Bec tube station puts other city campuses within reach. Take the tube and it’s a 25-minute ride to central London. Spend your weekends taking photos with the red-uniformed soldiers on Horse Guards Parade, or exploring Oxford Street’s flagship department stores. 

After a busy day, greet the property’s friendly receptionist on your way upstairs. Dump your books in the under-bed storage, then search your wardrobe for your workout clothes and head to the on-site gym. Work up a sweat on the treadmill, before making the most of your all inclusive utilities with a long, hot shower. If you’ve got assignments to finish, use the free Wi-Fi to research your facts at your bedroom desk, or take your books to the terrace for an outdoor study session with friends. 

When you’re done, spend some time relaxing in the garden, before putting a wash on in the laundry room. Keep hunger at bay with a snack from the fridge, or raid the vending machines before curling up in front of your in-room TV. If you feel like company, spend a few hours socialising in the common room instead. Later, cook dinner in the shared kitchen, then get ready for a fun night out. Try Antelope pub for real ales, sports screenings and quiz nights, or Unwined in Tooting for wine tastings and gourmet bar food.
