The property offers an amazing range of rooms, including en-suite or private rooms, studio apartments and large studios.

It shouldn’t be forgotten also that the views from several of the shared living areas of the cluster flats are some of the best in London!

Like all urbanest properties, London King’s Cross has an exceptionally high-quality specification. For us, it is the small details that make the difference. This is why we have ensured that all our rooms have double-insulated walls to allow you to work or study in peace.

All of our super comfortable beds have a high-quality memory foam mattress to give you a great night’s sleep and every room has luxurious under-floor heating which is controlled by an individual thermostat in your room to keep you warm in the winter months. Super-fast broadband keeps you connected and the entire building (including all study and social areas) benefits from free Wi-Fi.

In addition, the rooms are extremely well appointed in general with every student benefiting from a spacious, fitted study desk, plenty of storage for clothes, shoes and books and, depending on the room you choose, either a private or a shared kitchen with first-class appliances. Within our studio flats, there is a contemporary galley kitchen which features a ceramic hob, microwave and fridge/freezer.

The first is a mezzanine area directly above reception. This has been divided into private, semi-private and communal workspaces with free iMac stations for resident use, as well as comfortable areas to chat and relax with friends.

The second area is designed more predominantly for social activity. On the 13th floor, our main common room is extremely spacious and offers views across London. There is a very big lounge with a supersize flat-screen TV, soft seating, and free Wi-Fi.

The building’s large reception area itself is a great place to meet up and socialise with friends with a table tennis table, 2 lounge areas and direct access to Cut and Grind, urbanest King’s Cross’s own on-site Restaurant, serving mouth-watering burgers, a range of breakfast options for those who have to rush to lectures or those who have the time to relax, as well as great coffee and other refreshments.

The ground floor also houses our bicycle storage facility.
