Student life in East London
With so much to see and do in London, where to start? Given Mannequin House's location in trendy Walthamstow, let's start there.
Student Roost student accommodation in East London allows you to discover Walthamstow’s shops, art galleries, pubs and bars. Located in East London, you can discover long street markets and hidden gems in Walthamstow Village! The area has seen a resurgence of several small artisan breweries – perfect to enjoy some live music, interact with the locals and experience London living.
Blackhorse Road is the nearest train station which is only a 3-minute walk away and only 5 stops from Euston station. A major attraction close to our Walthamstow student accommodation is the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which is where the home games of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and a number of annual NFL games and big-name pop concerts take place.
The sheer size of London means that there’s a whole lot to explore. London can be divided, albeit crudely, into five areas: West, East, North, South, and the City. Within each area there are plenty of smaller ones, each with a distinct look and feel. Some will be known to everyone like Westminster, Piccadilly, and Camden while less well-known ones like Peckham, Hackney Wick, and Stoke Newington should also get your consideration. You’ll never see it all in one go, so pick an area you’d like to explore and embrace the tourist spirit to get a real taste of the city, before heading back to the comfort of your student accommodation in London.
Speaking of tastes, wherever in the country or world you’re from, you’ll be able to find a flavour of home in London. Fretting about the cost? Don’t be – there are plenty of budget eateries, even in expensive neighbourhoods, and food markets offering delicious dishes for a few pounds. Get a taste of the Caribbean in Brixton, a hit of umami in Chinatown or try a little bit of everything at the famous Borough Market.
London is undeniably a city of culture. There are over 250 art institutions in London, spanning from classic to contemporary and experimental. The best thing about this? Most are completely free to attend. Make a beeline for the National Gallery to see some of the most iconic paintings up close, the Tate Modern and Tate Britain for eye-opening collections, and the Natural History Museum to see all manner of prehistoric critters.
The best thing about London for students, locals, and visitors alike is the variety of everything on offer. No day has to be the same if you don’t want it to. There are countless events, landmarks and activities to enjoy – the toughest part is making up your mind.

London is one of the most expensive cities in the UK to live in, so naturally it will be more expensive for students too. Planning ahead with finances is a great way to ensure you're making the most of your student loan.

Congratulations! You’ve got a place on a course through clearing and you’re going to university; but what happens next?
Well, the first thing you need to do is accept the offer of study sent to you by the university. You’ll need to do this via UCAS. Once this is done and it’s all confirmed, you’ll also need to let your student finance provider know if there are any changes to your original application, such as a change in the university you’re attending, the course you’re studying, and the length of the course.
It’s also important that you find and confirm your accommodation. Options for last minute accommodation can be limited, so let us help you take away the stress. At Student Roost, we have accommodation in 21 UK cities. Upgrade your student living and become a part of our student community.
