Ravenscourt House

Move into Ravenscourt House in west London’s Hammersmith and find yourself sandwiched between the twin pleasures of its namesake park and a beautiful loop of the Thames river. Stand on ornamental bridges feeding the ducks or, for a different kind of stress-buster, shoot some hoops at the outdoor basketball court. Head to the river where you’ll find locals dragging boats into the water. Fantastic transport links will have you in the city in minutes but with great entertainment on offer at the likes of the Apollo, you may well stay local.

With four underground lines passing through Hammersmith, you’re extraordinarily well connected at Ravenscourt House and getting to any of London’s universities is an absolute breeze.

Ravenscourt House’s spacious, well-planned studios have been designed with comfort in mind, with full-height windows that will have you bathed in sunshine on a clear day.

The studios range up to 40m²and all come with a shower, plenty of storage space, a fully fitted kitchen and Wi-Fi as standard. Smartly-designed shelving means loads of space to store your books or whatever you want.

Hardwood floors and exposed brick interiors will catch your eye in a common room that has been set-up to make your transition to London as smooth as possible. A 60” LCD television, plenty of couches, a pool table make it a great space to hang out and relax. If you get peckish, fully-stocked vending machines mean you won’t have to go too far. Venture outside to the large, landscaped courtyard and take on all comers on the table tennis table.
