Life in Wolfson House
Found in the shadow of the Shard, this central London accommodation provides an affordable living place with intimate access to the city centre. Found within a stone’s throw of the transport hub that is London Bridge Station, there is excellent access to the London transport network and the delights of the rest of the city.
The close proximity to Guy’s Campus and Greenwood Lecture theatre, both within a couple of minutes’ walk of the front door, ensures that even late sleepers can easily make it their lectures in time, while lectures at Strand or Waterloo are never more than half an hour away. With the Kings Gym (London Bridge) also nearby, with a running BeActive program (free for Halls!) offering sessions both at the accommodation or in the vicinity, allowing you to get that couple of hours of exercise a week with the minimum of hassle.
Local Area
Locally, the site is within a very short distance of Borough High street and Markets, famed for their diverse and high-quality foodie experience, with more affordable student venues also available amongst them. Nearby, there is HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London and many museums and theatres, ensuring that there’s always something to do or sights to see.
Despite being one of Kings’ older accommodations, Wolfson House has provided me with an unparalleled experience living in London, and the bar was high; having lived and studied in London for the past five years. There’s life in the old dog yet.
