Tower Bridge student accommodation

Urbanest Tower Bridge places you in the heart of historic London, just moments from iconic landmarks like the Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral and The Shard. Surrounded by local amenities and well connected to the city’s top universities and transport links, it’s an ideal base for your student life in the capital. Choose from a range of high-quality private, shared and studio rooms with breathtaking views of the Thames, and enjoy access to thoughtfully designed social spaces that make it feel like home from day one.

We offer a variety of living options, from sociable shared flats to private studio apartments, all designed to meet different preferences. Choose from:

• Private rooms: Your own private bedroom and study space, with access to a shared kitchen and four modern shower rooms between 5–6 flat mates, ideal for making friends.
• Ensuite rooms: A private bedroom with your own luxury en-suite shower room and a shared kitchen and lounge area.
• Studio apartments: Featuring a double bed, desk space, galley kitchen and private en-suite shower room, these compact apartments are excellent for independent living.

When assigning your room, we do our best to match you with flatmates who suit your lifestyle. We try to match the preferences you select during booking as closely as possible, like gender, course level (undergrad or postgrad), and whether you’d prefer to share. While we can’t always guarantee an exact match, we’ll always try to place you in an environment that feels right for you. However, if you’re sure you don’t want to share your space, our range of private studio apartments means you can enjoy complete privacy while still having access to all the perks of communal living just outside your door.
