Most helpful review

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Central Living and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the attention to detail and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The location couldn't be better - right in the heart of the city, with easy access to public transportation and a grocery of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions just steps away. It made exploring the city a breeze. The accommodation is nothing short of excellent. The room is clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The amenities provided were thoughtful and practical, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. What truly sets Central Living apart, however, is the outstanding hospitality of the staff. They were friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was as enjoyable as possible. They provided invaluable recommendations for local restaurants and attractions, making my trip all the more memorable.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Perfect location 1 minute from town centre, next to supermarkets, restaurants and a new gym. Rooms have a beautiful view and are modern and clean. Reception staff are all very friendly and extremely hands on to solve any issues or queries you may have. They also provide frequent parties and pizza nights which makes our stay even more pleasant. Highly recommend to anyone looking for accommodation :)

Central living provides top-notch accommodations for students. Its location is really convenient- it’s only an 8 Minutes walk to St. Luke campus and 23 Minutes to Streatham campus. Shops, clubs and pubs are all nearby. The room and kitchen are spacious and have all needful facilities. The property management staff is excellent and always willing to help with problems. Additionally, the plan frequent activities like pizza parties that facilitate getting to know other students residing in the residence hall. I heartily endorse it to everyone.

It has been a lovely time staying here. The managers are so friendly and show their care and dedication to their work. They make sure everyone is comfortable and they try to create many avenues for everyone in the building to form new friendships. The location as well is amazing as it is in city center and the price is very much perfect, especially for the studios. I can see myself living here again next year and u have recommended this place to loads of friends

The location is very good as well, highly recommend it.

Central Living offers excellent student accommodation. The location couldn't be more convenient; it's close to all the shops, bars, and clubs, just a 5-minute walk from St. Luke's Campus and a 20-minute walk from Streatham. The kitchens and rooms are spacious and very modern. It can get somewhat noisy during the day due to its central location, but with the windows shut, you can hardly hear anything. The Property Management Team is outstanding; they are always ready to help with any issues and send regular emails to keep you updated. They also organize regular events, such as pizza nights, making it easy to meet other students. I would highly recommend it to anyone."

Central living is a great place to live. It’s only a 5 minute walk away from the centre of town so it’s very convenient. It’s has all the amenities of a larger accommodation even though it is a smaller one. The socials are great with Domino’s pizza every other Friday and food and decorations on holidays. Everyone who works there is incredibly helpful and lovely and made resolving any issues incredibly easy. The rooms are great with a large desk and loads of storage including cupboards and shelves under the bed going the length of the bed and the windows are huge. The only things I found difficult are that sharing a kitchen with 9-12 people can be difficult, my flat didn’t have access to the lift but I was on the first floor so it wasn’t too difficult and my window faced the parking complex so I didn’t feel comfortable opening my blinds as there was a direct view into my bedroom so maybe a blurring cover could be added to those windows.

Having stayed in Central Living for two years, I am thoroughly pleased with my decision to have lived there for that duration. The rooms are spacious with large windows that let in plenty of natural light, and the proximity to the city centre is amazing. All of the management staff during my time there have also been very lovely and approachable people, and I can't imagine it being any easier to get any issue resolved. If facilities such as dedicated study areas and a gym etc are important factors, there are probably better options out there, as Central Living only has one communal lounge at the time of writing (I personally prefer a full-sized gym anyway and am happy to study on campus too). However no accomodation can be the absolute best in all areas, and Central Living's modest size adds to its cosy and friendly atmosphere in my opinion. Overall, I would defintely recommend Central Living for student accomodation.

The design of the room and kitchen is aesthetically pleasing. The kitchen being especially spacious. The location is very good, it is very close to campus, to town, to grocery shops, and to the cinema. It also has really good security, with multiple doors requiring a card, so the accommodation feels very safe, not to mention the friendly and extremely helpful receptionist. Overall, its a great university accomodation.

All in all, it's a very affordable accommodation, student friendly. Close proximity to all student clubs, city centre and stores. Highly recommend.
