What to weigh up before you commit

The cheapest postcode is rarely the cheapest option overall. Add the travel cost to the rent before comparing anything, then add the time: an extra 20 minutes each way is roughly 130 hours over a teaching year. A more expensive room that removes that journey can be the better deal even in cash terms.

Check the route at the hour you will actually travel. Something that takes 25 minutes at midday can take 40 in the morning peak, and an evening lab or a late rehearsal puts you on a very different network. If you will be coming home after midnight, read the late-night column before the rent column.

Then look at what a viewing will not tell you. Boroughly's area guides score every one of these neighbourhoods on safety, green space, amenities and transport, using the same method as the rest of the site.

How these numbers were worked out

Areas are the Boroughly areas nearest the campus postcode, then filtered to those with rent data and ranked cheapest first.
Rent marked † figures are modelled from Boroughly's two-bedroom estimate for the same area, not observed listings. Use them to compare areas against each other, not as a quote. Two-bed figures come from the same dataset as the rest of the site.
Commute is a door-to-door public transport journey from the centre of each area to the campus postcode, requested from Transport for London's journey planner for a weekday arrival at 09:00. Your own door will differ by a few minutes.
Late nights: Night Tube and night Overground run Friday and Saturday only. Night buses run every night across London. Check TfL before relying on any of it.
All of this is a comparison aid. Before signing anything, use your university's accommodation service — most run free contract checks and approved-landlord lists.
