Julian Markham House is a really nice spot to be. it's a wonderful location, everything you could want is perfectly in walking distance, giant Sainsburys, clubs, Asian food stores, restaurants and even the campuses. If that's too far don't worry public transport is everywhere. One of the most impressive bus stop collections I've ever seen and of course the tube station and national rail station are right next door. For a zone 1 property it's a really comfortable price for what you get. The staff are amazing too, super kind and helpful (make sure you greet Neli each time you see her she deserves the world). But the best thing about JMH is the social community. The accodomation houses the smallest number of students out of the KCL options which may sound a little disappointing but what it means is you will make some of the tightest friendships you could wish for. Everyone knows each other because you always see each other. It's cliche but you will find a second family in jmh.

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.

The accommodation is located in a lovely area with great travel connections and surrounded by many cultural shops, restaurants and even a market. The building itself has a nice outdoor area for pool, table tennis and a hangout space.
Nelly is a great addition to Julian Markham house, from the first day I moved in she has been warm and welcoming from my own experience and for many others.

First year living where I met a lot of good friends.
The building staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities are good for the price.
Love nelly she’s the best she always puts a smile on my face
Great experience the staff is so helpful all the time
- The area around Julian Markham feels unsafe after 10:00/11:00. I've been aggressively approached and have seen people get their phones stolen. I avoid walking home by myself at night. - There is no staff presence at the front desk of the dorm to monitor, which is concerning due to the safety issues in that area. The staff sits inside the office in the back at all times, often closing the office door as well. - Issues related to plumbing have consistently taken a while to fix (over a week at one point) and required several follow-ups with staff.
We love Neli, she’s so helpful and kind and honestly the best thing about this accomodation
I am very satisfied with the experience at Julian Markham, due to good rooms and staff, especially Neli.
Neli helped me immensely during my stay!
Rooms are a good size and there is plenty of space on the desk to study with usually reliable wifi. Not the biggest and doesn’t have a lot of social spaces but the outside area and people have made it a good social experience overall. Receptionists were mostly very nice, especially Neli who was very helpful all year.
The social life is good, the room sizes are good. The location is not too too safe but there’s many facilities. Staff, especially Neli, are kind and available
Nelly has been absolutely fantastic from the start. I moved into the accommodation via early start in September and she helped me with all my stuff. She’s been a friendly, warm & kind person to me every time I’ve seen her on a regular basis.
A very good, comfortable living situation in a nice area. Close to everything needed in London. Good administration, ok social events, social areas could be a bit nicer.
Staff are great, super friendly and help out
Staff is very slow with maintenance and responding to issues. Silverfish issue in some rooms/flats. There are a variety of events so in terms of social life it was okay.
I would like to state that all the assistants are really friendly and helpful, especially Neli.
JMH is fine but comparing it to other KCL accommodations, it is disappointing. The staff are nice, but since moving in there has been construction which has made being here during the daytime almost unbearable. I would recommend other accommodations instead
Nice maintenance and staff, construction workers make a lot of noise. Neli brandon Radu and Juwaieiyyah are starts
Thank you so much for your review! We will use your feedback to help improve our service in the future. The Julian Markham House Team
The building is well positioned in the South but there has been construction making noise levels a bit high and social experiences less common.

The value for money is good with the discount. The location is amazing. Face to face requests are dealt with straight away but reporting maintenance through the app can be slow. Cleaning is good. Social spaces are great but reduced due to building work. The staff are great here, really friendly and helpful. Neli is always so helpful and chatty!

Lamees, Neli, Radu, Netsanet, Maria. They the best
Thank you so much for your review! The Julian Markham House Team
It is my second year staying at Julian Markham. I now call it my home, because I’ve become so attached to the building and staff members here. They make students feel welcomed and take care of us like we are part of a family. Neli especially has been like a mother for me; during the pandemic, she checked in on me regularly and brought me little gifts at my door. It was my birthday during that time, too, and her presence made me feel less lonely (she brought balloons and vegetarian dishes, as she knew I didn’t eat meat). She is wonderful. The entire team here goes beyond limits to make us feel like home.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are pleased to hear of such a positive experience with us. The Julian Markham House Team
Neli is an excellent member of staff. She is always ready to help.
Thank you so much for your kind review! The Julian Markham House Team

I really like the team, every one is lovely especially one receptionist called Brandon, he always takes care of us and makes sure our well-being is at the best it could be.
Thank you so much for your review! The Julian Markham House Team
Your average accommodation - nothing glarlingly bad. However, the single lift in the building has broken down twice so far (in one term), and maintenance is characteristically slow to respond. The on-site staff used to be crabby but have greatly improved their mood recently so I suppose that's good. No common space other than the tiny "lounge" area in front of the reception. Other than location (25 mins walk to Waterloo campus), there is nothing special. It's not your typical student-y area though (like Russell Square), so no glitz and glamour (freshers might be bored, postgrads may prefer it). However, you do have access to cheap grocery stores and stuff nearby.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review JMH! We are constantly striving to improve our service, so your feedback is very important to us. We hope you enjoyed your time with us and that it was a positive one. The Julian Markham House Team
Julian Markham is located in Elephant and Castle, which is a pretty rough area but is under regeneration so is looking at becoming a lot nicer. The halls are in a fab location in terms of getting To uni and most places in London. You're paying more for the location, as it's central London. The halls themselves are pretty standard, fairly old but that's because it was built a long time ago. Flats consist of between 3 and 7 rooms, with most of the socialising happening in the flat kitchens as the common room overlooks reception so it's not overly private. A lot of things break in JM, which isn't fantastic, you've just got to put your foot down to UNITE and the reception people and things usually get done then. Once they're repaired the issues never usually occurs again. At the end of the day, once you've found your group of friends, it doesn't really matter where you live as everything feels like home :) it may not be the best accommodation out there, but it's not the worst.

Good location for transport but had a lot of appliances that broke and shower that leaked constantly, as well as a lift that was broke for at least a month and washing machines always out of order
