Mercury House Student Accommodation

Some students know they want a shared flat before they even begin looking for accommodation. Others would rather have a place where everything is their own. Mercury House falls into the second category.

Located on St. Peters Road in Bournemouth, the property offers self-contained studio rooms with utility bills included in the rent. Living here also means everyday places such as supermarkets, cafés, public transport, and the town centre are all within easy reach, making day-to-day life a little simpler once term begins.

Mercury House Address & Location

Address: Mercury House, St. Peters Road, Bournemouth BH1 2NT

Moving somewhere new usually means working out where you'll buy groceries, grab lunch between lectures or spend an afternoon away from campus.

Students living at Mercury House have several of those places close by.

Tesco Express and ALDI are nearby for everyday shopping, while Turtle Bay Bournemouth, Cosy Club, and Arch Coffee House offer places to meet friends or take a break during the day. Hungry Tiger Bournemouth is also within easy reach for anyone looking for a local pub.

Bournemouth Seafront is one of the best-known parts of the town and can be reached without travelling far. Hamworthy Park provides another outdoor space nearby, while Bournemouth Library is available for students who prefer studying somewhere other than their room. Royal Bournemouth Hospital is also accessible from the property.

Public transport links around the area make it straightforward to travel to university campuses and other parts of Bournemouth throughout the week.
