Bright House, kingston-upon-thames

Bright House Kingston Student Accommodation Overview

Your accommodation quietly becomes part of your routine: you leave for lectures from there, cook most of your meals there, spend evenings finishing assignments, and head back after long days on campus. That makes the location just as important as the room itself.

Bright House Kingston is in Kingston upon Thames, close to Kingston University, local bus routes, supermarkets and the town centre. Every room comes with a private en-suite bathroom, while kitchens are shared with other residents. Utility bills and Wi-Fi are already included, so there isn't much to organise after you move in.
