LFA understands that the most important non-academic problem a student faces is finding a place with the best atmosphere in which to live and study, at the right cost. We can assist our students through our partnership with David Game College Student Residences and with our below recommendations, a selection of places nearby the LFA that we believe are competitively priced.
Standard rates for renting private accommodation in London are extremely high, many of our students like to book a room in a College Residence for at least the first few weeks of their time in London so that they can settle in, begin their course and then look around for an alternative if they wish, often with friends made on their course.
Please note the below details may have changed without our prior notice; we recommend you visit the individual websites provided just in case.
