City, University of London

Accommodation

Postgraduate students have the opportunity to live in two of City’s halls of residence:

• Alliance House – located in the residential area of Newington Green, approximately 30 minutes' travel on public transport from City
• Willen House – self-catered halls of residence which offer 157 self-contained studio apartments, each with their own en-suite bathroom and kitchenette, 10 minutes' walk from City's main site at Northampton Square and 10 minutes' walk from Bayes Business School.

Students will be able to apply for one of City’s affiliated halls once they have firmly accepted an offer at City. Rooms are allocated on a first come, first served basis, but priority is given to students with a disability or severe medical condition. The university's accommodation office can be contacted all year round for any questions or queries.
