Emily Bowes Court London: Rooms, Amenities, Reviews and Student Accommodation Guide (2026)

Location: Where Emily Bowes Court Sits in London

You’ll find Emily Bowes Court at:

Lebus Street
Tottenham Hale
London
N17 9FD
United Kingdom

Emily Bowes Court is in Tottenham Hale, in north London, with Tottenham Hale Underground and railway station around a five-minute walk away. The station is served by the Victoria line as well as National Rail services, giving residents a direct connection into central London and other parts of the capital.

The property forms part of a wider residential development alongside North Lodge. Unite Students describes the area as a sustainable urban village, with a medical centre, bakery, Tesco Express, gym and green spaces close to the accommodation. Tottenham Hale Retail Park is also nearby for larger shopping trips.

The River Lee runs alongside the area, giving students an easy option for a walk when they want some time away from their room or campus. UAL also highlights the local amenities around Tottenham Hale and the short walk to the station as key features of the location.

For students at University of the Arts London, the transport connection is particularly useful. UAL states that Tottenham Hale is around five minutes from Emily Bowes Court, while the Victoria line takes about 10 minutes to reach King’s Cross St Pancras. That makes the residence especially relevant for students studying at Central Saint Martins.

The area is also useful for students at other central London universities. Unite Students specifically lists UCL, UAL, SOAS, the University of Westminster, King’s College London, City University London and London Metropolitan University among the institutions accessible from Emily Bowes Court.

Emily Bowes Court Student Accommodation Options and Room Types

Emily Bowes Court rooms are currently offered in two main formats: en-suite rooms in shared flats and private studios. Unite Students describes an en-suite as a private bedroom and bathroom with a shared kitchen and living space, while a studio has its own kitchen and living area as well as a private bathroom.

The direct Unite Students inventory therefore gives students a choice between sharing the wider living space with flatmates or keeping the kitchen and living area private.

The prices above are current direct-booking examples from Unite Students and can vary with the tenancy length and room selected. The Large Standard Double En-suite is currently listed at £284 per week for a 51-week tenancy from 12 September 2026 to 5 September 2027, while the 42-week version is £299 per week.

The Large High Double En-suite is currently £287 per week for 51 weeks and £302 per week for 42 weeks. It is described as a large room on a high floor, with three to six flatmates sharing the wider flat.

The studio option costs considerably more. Unite Students currently lists a Large Standard Double Studio at £420 per week for 51 weeks. Unlike an en-suite room, the studio has its own kitchen and living space, so there is no shared kitchen arrangement.

UAL’s own 2026/27 allocation is narrower. It lists 270 standard en-suite rooms, each measuring approximately 13 square metres, with a three-quarter-size bed and private bathroom. These rooms are in flats shared between six to eight students and cost £274 per week for a 42-week tenancy.

That means the UAL figure should not be treated as the universal Emily Bowes Court rate. It applies to UAL’s 2026/27 accommodation allocation, whereas Unite Students is advertising additional room types and direct-booking prices.

Room furnishings include a bed, study area and chair, wardrobe, under-bed storage, mirror and bedside table. En-suite rooms have their own shower, toilet, washbasin and bathroom mirror. The shared kitchens have an oven, fridge-freezer, cooking hobs, microwave, breakfast bar and seating.

The choice between an en-suite and a studio therefore comes down largely to how much private space you need and how much you are prepared to spend. An en-suite keeps the bedroom and bathroom private while sharing the kitchen and lounge. A studio removes that shared living arrangement but comes at a substantially higher weekly rate.

Rent, Contract Lengths & Payment Plans

Emily Bowes Court pricing varies according to the room category, tenancy length and booking route.

For direct bookings through Unite Students, the current 2026/27 Large Standard Double En-suite is listed at £284 per week for 51 weeks or £299 per week for 42 weeks. The Large High Double En-suite is listed at £287 per week for 51 weeks and £302 per week for 42 weeks.

The current studio pricing is higher. A Large Standard Double Studio is listed at £420 per week for a 51-week tenancy, while the Large High Double Studio is currently £423 per week.

UAL’s 2026/27 allocation gives a different price point: its 270 standard en-suite rooms are £274 per week for a 42-week tenancy, with a total accommodation cost of £11,508.

These figures show why comparing only the weekly price can be misleading. The 42-week direct-booking rate is higher than the 51-week rate for the same Large Standard Double En-suite, even though the shorter tenancy produces a lower total commitment.

The UAL accommodation route is separate from direct booking with Unite Students. Emily Bowes Court is a UAL partner hall managed by Unite Students, and UAL states that students who receive an offer for a partner hall will be contacted by the provider with payment instructions.

For UAL students, the university’s current 2026/27 information confirms that the standard Emily Bowes Court tenancy is 42 weeks. Students should therefore check the offer they receive rather than assuming that the direct Unite Students price or contract automatically applies to their booking.

The safest way to compare Emily Bowes Court rooms is to calculate the full tenancy cost alongside the weekly rent. A room that looks cheaper per week may require a longer contract, while a shorter academic-year tenancy can carry a higher weekly price.

What’s Included in Your Rent (Bills, Wi-Fi, Insurance)

Emily Bowes Court accommodation uses an all-inclusive rent structure. Unite Students currently lists heating, water, gas, electricity, Wi-Fi and contents insurance among the living essentials included with the rent. Ultrafast broadband and Wi-Fi are available in flats and communal areas.

This takes several regular household costs out of your monthly budgeting. You will still need to account for food, transport, mobile phone costs, laundry and other personal expenses.

The main inclusions are:

• Electricity
• Gas
• Heating
• Water
• Wi-Fi
• Ultrafast broadband
• Contents insurance

The rooms are furnished with the main items needed for study and storage. Unite’s room specifications include a desk, desk chair, wardrobe, mirror, noticeboard, bedside table and under-bed storage. En-suite rooms also have a private shower, toilet and washbasin.

Shared kitchens have an oven, fridge-freezer, cooking hobs, microwave, breakfast bar and seating. Basic cleaning equipment is also provided in the shared kitchen setup, including a vacuum cleaner, mop and bucket.

Studio rooms have their own kitchen rather than sharing one with other residents. The current studio specification includes an oven, combi-oven, fridge-freezer, cooking hobs and microwave alongside the private living and study area.

Laundry is available at the property but is not listed among the household costs included in the rent. Students should therefore keep a separate allowance for washing clothes.

Facilities and Amenities at Emily Bowes Court

Emily Bowes Court student accommodation has communal areas for studying, socialising and spending time outside the flat. The common areas were upgraded for 2026, with the current UAL description highlighting a large common room, pool table, foosball, seating and tables for group work.

The property currently has:

The courtyard gives residents another place to sit or meet friends, with UAL specifically mentioning table tennis tables and outdoor seating. The common room has also been refurbished, with smaller tables for informal work and a larger table that can be used for group projects.

The property’s location adds several facilities beyond the building itself. Emily Bowes Court and neighbouring North Lodge form part of a wider development with a medical centre, bakery, Tesco Express, gym and green spaces nearby. Tottenham Hale Retail Park is also within reach.

One point needs to be kept clear: the nearby gym should not be presented as a gym inside Emily Bowes Court itself. Unite’s current page mentions a gym among the neighbouring facilities, while the property’s listed facilities focus on study, social, laundry, bike storage and security provisions.

Universities Near Emily Bowes Court

Emily Bowes Court is particularly relevant to students at the University of the Arts London (UAL). UAL currently lists the property as one of its halls of residence in Tottenham Hale, with 270 standard en-suite rooms available to UAL students for 2026/27.

Central Saint Martins is one of the clearest examples. UAL states that Tottenham Hale’s Victoria line connection takes around 10 minutes to reach King’s Cross St Pancras, making the location useful for students travelling to Central Saint Martins.

Unite Students also identifies several other London universities as accessible from Emily Bowes Court:

These are transport-accessible universities rather than institutions located immediately beside the property. The actual commute will depend on your campus and teaching building, so students should check the journey to their specific campus before choosing a room. Unite currently lists these universities as being within reach of Emily Bowes Court.

For UAL students, the accommodation has a more direct connection to the university system because Emily Bowes Court is a UAL partner hall. UAL’s current accommodation information lists 270 en-suite rooms for 2026/27, with six to eight students sharing each flat.

Distance & Transport Links to Nearby Universities & City Centre

Tottenham Hale station is around a five-minute walk from Emily Bowes Court. UAL confirms that the station is served by both the Victoria line and National Rail services, including the Stansted Express and Greater Anglia.

The Victoria line is particularly useful for students travelling towards central London. UAL currently estimates that King’s Cross St Pancras is around 10 minutes from Tottenham Hale by Victoria line. Unite Students gives a broader estimate of around 15 minutes to central London from the property.

The main transport options are:

UAL currently lists bus routes 123, 230, N73 and W4 among the services available from the area.

The National Rail connection is useful for students travelling outside central London. Unite Students currently states that Stansted Airport can be reached from Tottenham Hale in around 40 minutes, giving international and home-based students another practical travel option.

For everyday university travel, the Victoria line is likely to be the most useful connection. A short walk to Tottenham Hale followed by a direct Tube journey removes the need for multiple changes on many routes into central London.

Students should still check the route to their actual campus before booking. “Central London” covers a large area, and the time needed after leaving the Victoria line can vary considerably depending on where your university building is located.

Things to Do Near Emily Bowes Court

Emily Bowes Court is in Tottenham Hale, so everyday life is centred more around north London than the main tourist areas of central London. That works well for students who want shops, food and outdoor spaces nearby and can use the Victoria line when they want to head into central London.

Tottenham Hale Retail Park is close to the accommodation and covers many of the larger shopping trips students may need during term. The surrounding Tottenham Hale development also has a Tesco Express, bakery, gym and other everyday services. Unite Students describes the area as being beside the River Lee, giving residents an easy route for walks along the waterside. 

The local area has several places to eat and meet friends. House of Student lists cafés and restaurants around Tottenham Hale, while nearby facilities include the shops and food outlets around the retail park. 

For outdoor time, the River Lee, The Paddock, Markfield Park, Down Lane Park and Tottenham Marshes are among the nearby places associated with Emily Bowes Court’s location. House of Student currently highlights these areas on its property page. 

Tottenham also has several larger attractions if you want something different from the immediate neighbourhood. Visit London currently lists Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Walthamstow Wetlands, Bruce Castle Museum, Bernie Grant Arts Centre, Seven Sisters Market and Tottenham Marshes among the area’s attractions. 

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is particularly relevant for football fans, while Walthamstow Wetlands gives you a much quieter setting with reservoirs, woodland and walking routes. Seven Sisters Market is another option for food and shopping.

Central London is also within easy reach when you want a wider choice of museums, restaurants, theatres and nightlife. Tottenham Hale Underground station is only a short walk from Emily Bowes Court, and the Victoria line provides a direct connection towards central London. 

Emily Bowes Court Reviews and Student Experience

Current Emily Bowes Court reviews present a mixed picture. House of Student currently gives the property 3.5/5 from 280 verified reviews, so the overall rating is more moderate than some London student residences. 

Several recent reviews are positive about the rooms, staff and location. One four-star reviewer described the rooms as clean and modern and highlighted the transport links and social side of the accommodation. Another five-star review praised the management team’s response to requests and the overall condition of the property. 

The location also comes up positively. One resident specifically mentioned the nearby gym, Tesco Express, cafés and the availability of washing machines. The same review said the Wi-Fi had generally worked well during their stay and considered the room size comparable with more expensive London accommodation. 

There are more critical reviews as well. One recent resident reported prolonged problems with hot water and heating on their floor and expressed frustration with the response to repeated maintenance reports. Another review criticised the handling of a breakfast promotion and described some reception staff as inflexible. 

These comments are important because they show that Emily Bowes Court reviews should not be reduced to either “good” or “bad”. The property has clear advantages, particularly its location, room facilities, communal spaces and transport access, but individual experiences with staff communication and maintenance can vary.

The size of the residence is another factor. Unite Students currently lists Emily Bowes Court as housing 693 students, so the building has a sizeable resident population. 

That scale can make it easier to meet people and take part in organised activities, but it also means your experience may depend on your particular flat, floor and neighbours. Students who value a quieter environment should pay attention to room location and the shared-flat arrangement before booking.

Is Emily Bowes Court a Good Choice for Students? Safety & Security Features

Emily Bowes Court has several measures intended to control access and support residents. Unite Students currently lists CCTV, secure access, 24/7 assistance, an on-site service team, maintenance support, a fire system and contents insurance among the property’s safety and security provisions. 

The building also benefits from controlled access to the accommodation, while on-site staff is available to deal with resident queries and property issues.

House of Student lists additional security-related facilities, including 24-hour security and secure door entry. These should be considered alongside the provider’s own current description rather than treated as a guarantee against every possible incident. 

Students still have a role to play in keeping the building secure. Keep your access card or other credentials with you, do not allow unknown people to follow you through controlled entrances, and report damaged locks or access doors promptly.

The fire system is another part of the property’s safety provision. Students should familiarise themselves with the evacuation procedure and identify the nearest suitable exit after moving in.

Overall, Emily Bowes Court has a reasonable set of formal security measures, but the more useful question is whether the property suits your own priorities. The private bathroom in every room, strong transport connection and shared study and social facilities are useful for many students. The large resident population and shared-flat setup may be less suitable if you want a small or very private residential environment.

How to Book Emily Bowes Court: Step-by-Step Guide

Emily Bowes Court can be booked directly through Unite Students, while University of the Arts London students may receive accommodation through UAL’s partner-hall allocation process. The two routes should not be treated as identical because the room selection, price and contract can differ.

1. Click here for Emily Bowes Court and check the availability of rooms

Start by selecting the 2026/27 academic year and compare the current en-suite and studio options. Unite Students currently lists direct-booking prices from £284 per week for en-suites and £420 per week for studios. 

2. Compare the room type and tenancy

Look at the full room description rather than choosing solely from the room name. Check the number of flatmates, floor position, room size and whether the kitchen is shared or private.

For example, the current Large Standard Double En-suite is listed at £284 per week for 51 weeks or £299 per week for 42 weeks. The Large Highest Double En-suite is £290 per week for 51 weeks or £305 per week for 40 weeks. 

3. Choose the appropriate booking route

If you are a UAL student applying through the university, follow the accommodation offer and booking instructions sent by UAL. UAL currently lists 270 standard en-suite rooms at Emily Bowes Court for 2026/27. 

Students booking independently can use Unite Students’ direct booking system to select their room and tenancy.

4. Enter your booking details

For a direct Unite booking, you will need to provide the information requested during the reservation process and choose your payment arrangement. Unite Students currently advertises no deposit for its accommodation. 

5. Check the payment schedule

Look at the total rent, instalment dates and tenancy period before confirming. Do not assume that a weekly price displayed for one room applies to every room or contract length.

If you are booking through UAL, the university states that the accommodation provider will contact students with payment instructions after an offer has been made. 

6. Read the cancellation terms

Unite Students currently advertises a seven-day cooling-off period and No Place, No Pay protection where the relevant conditions are satisfied. The precise cancellation rights depend on the booking terms, so read the agreement before accepting it. 

7. Check the final tenancy agreement

Before you commit, confirm the room type, tenancy dates, weekly rent, total cost, payment schedule and cancellation conditions.

This final check matters particularly at Emily Bowes Court because the property has both direct-booking rooms and university-allocation rooms. The £274/week UAL rate for its 2026/27 standard en-suite allocation should not be confused with the direct Unite Students rates, which currently start higher for comparable room categories.
