Flora Building Biography
The Flora Building is purposefully built student accommodation located in the creative and cultural heart of East London, meaning you have plenty of shops, restaurants and bars right on your doorstep. Point Blank Music School and City University are both within a thirty-minute walk from the accommodation, whilst numerous other universities are a quick tube ride away.
You can hang out with friends and watch TV, play on the gaming console, work out in the on-site gym, take a breather in the relaxing zone or unwind in the games rooms fitted with a pool table. When needing to get some work done, you can take advantage of the study area. If you want to get some fresh air, you can relax in the courtyard garden or sky garden roof terrace. To make your stay as comfortable as possible there is bike storage, 24/7 CCTV, a 24/7 on-site team, on-site laundry facilities, and on-site maintenance and management.
Enjoy seven floors of light and spacious rooms at the Flora Building. There are a variety of rooms to choose from, ranging from twin rooms, two-bedroom apartments and studios. All of the rooms have a modern design and are fitted with a comfortable bed, ample storage, a study desk and a chair. All you need to do is add your personal touches to make this space the perfect home away from home.

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.

I think I'm the only Korean, it's great to have 24 hours of waiting security and a 3-minute walk from the subway station. It's not far from old street, so you can travel anywhere in London in 30 minutes by car and there's a significant risk of losing your parcel. The house is really quiet, the noise between floors is low, and there are many convenient facilities such as public kitchens and game facilities below.
Loved this flat, great location for getting around and the front desk staff were very helpful
Not bad. Some facilities go wrong but the engineer helped to fix them quickly. Receptions are all super nice. Close to underground station and shops. Enjoy the time living here.
It is a great student apartment, with a convenient location to everywhere. The overground station and bus stop are all in walking distance, about 4 minutes.
Great amenities and professional staffs. A little bit pricey though.
it's comfortable and spacious. Living around here is very convenient - stores/ bus stop/ station is only 3-minutes walk from the building.
Flora building has a really great vibe with it's study room, communal kitchen, sky garden and other amenities. The people are friendly and warm too.
Flora Building has been great. My room had everything I needed and helped me live throughout my first year in the city.
The staff is very friendly, the facilities are complete, everything is nearby, the transportation is easy, I really love it! 10/10
The property is really nice with a lot of facilities for students. The games on ground floor are really nice and entertaining as well as the rooftop. The rooms are also very nice, much nicer than any other accommodation I’ve been to so far
security guards know as T help me a lot and he is very friendly
Management is lazy and does only the bare minimum. Fire alarm rings for hours on end, especially if the staff clock out or on weekends (when clearly untrained security staff take over). Endless fire-alarms. Don't expect to be able to do your laundry on schedule, as they've only prepared 4 washers and 4 dryers for the laundry needs of 300 tenants. None of the facilities are directly accessible, require registration & are not usable past 10pm. Genuinely a disappointing experience. Go to a less commercialized accomodation if possible. Genuine regret having stayed here for a year.
Very nice place to stay. Close to station and supermarket

One of the most unique student accommodations in London with a great location and friendly staff. The apartments are very well designed with quality furnishings and great windows. After visiting multiple accommodations, I can say with the greatest confidence that it is the best choice for a student.

I have been staying at the The flora building (ex The Project at Hoxton) for 2 years and it had made my student accommodation experience very enjoyable. The management team is vey helpful and nice, the rooms are very spacious, clean and bright which ideal for home studying. There is many onsite facilities to use and the onsite team organises many activities over the year ( pancakes workshop/ grab a breakfast on the go ….). There has been no issues or misunderstanding in terms of communication, room booking, or during the stay. Moreover, the building is situated in a nice area next the to many “must see” places such as Colombia road flower market, weekly food markets, Victoria park and many shoreditch bars and restaurants. I would recommend the Flora building to any student who is looking for a hassle free and enjoyable student accommodation experience.
