Really pleased with the accommodation. As a final year student I was concerned whether this was the right choice as I’ll need to focus on my thesis, however the accommodation has exceeded my expectations. The location is really really safe, a new neighbourhood and is quite central, can easily commute as the station is 3 minutes away or even walk to the university. There’s loads of shops and nice restaurants in the neighbourhood too. Staff is incredibly helpful, lovely shared spaces for studying or socialising (The walls are quite thick too so no disturbance if you chose to study in your room), gym and laundry room. Also can see the whole London skyline and the Thames from the sky terrace too! Overall a really clean and nice environment.

iQ Vega Vauxhall is an amazing student accommodation. I am currently in second year of University and living in Vega's 3dio apartment and the facilities are great. Bedrooms have an abundant amount of storage and are reasonably sized with fast wifi and space to decorate your room how you would like to. The bathrooms and kitchen are efficient and aesthetically pleasing for a student accommodation at this price! Additionally, the rest of the building includes multiple social spaces, study spaces, a rooftop garden and a complimentary gym, meaning students are able to balance down time, socialising and fitness all in one facility. I would definitely recommend this accommodation to other students.

Extremely overpriced and very low quality. The lift has been broken for 5 months, with no rational or justifiable reason, it seems to be pure laziness and an inability for the staff and landlord to abide by their promise to maintain the functionality of agreed upon services and amenities, as prescribed to us (students) when entering into the contractual agreement. Recently, just a month ago, workers required access to our rooms without prior notice to us via email, rudely banged on my room door, and upon finishing their work left trash and remains in our flat hallway without cleaning it up. Kitchens and rooms up to the 5th floor have sealed windows; moreover there is an absence of any ventilation in the kitchen to make up for this, which can be especially dangerous for those with respiratory issues. As well as this some of the staff are extremely rude, and shout at you for using the common spaces, I have personally had two incidences in which I was interrupted during meetings.

Good private student accomodation. The only downfall is the lift. There are 37 floors in the building with only two functional lifts so there’s always queues at busy hours.

Amazing facilities, location and rooms. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a central based accommodation that is quiet, comfortable and has lovely views of the city. However, if you are a first year looking for that hyper-social “uni experience”, Vega may not be quite perfect due to the variety of students at different disciplines and general quiet social atmosphere within the building.

Overall a very good experience, no real complaints at all. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, rooms are nice and kitchen spaces are excellent. If I could add one thing to Vega it’d be easier accessibility to the bike shed by placing a ramp to wheel bikes up and down but that’s the only thing I’d add

I joined with a friend who is doing a placement year in london. The accommodation is a perfect distance from both my uni and his central London placement. The area has great transport possibilities due to it being near Victoria and Clapham Junction making travel easy.

Vega is quite a nice student accommodation full of fun activities, warm and kind staff (Jack is amazing). The view from the rooftop is great, undoubtedly the best part of Vega. And it's close to Vauxhall station. It only took me 20 minutes to get to UCL.
