A long journey to campus can become frustrating after the first few weeks of term. A student room that cuts travel time and keeps everyday essentials nearby often makes a much bigger difference than people expect.
Tribu Kingston upon Thames gives students that advantage. The property sits close to the town centre, making it easy to reach university, pick up groceries, catch a train or meet friends after lectures. The building offers fully furnished studios, so every resident has a private space to study, cook and relax without sharing a kitchen or bathroom.
Bills are included in the rent, which makes monthly budgeting much simpler. Residents also have access to shared spaces such as a rooftop terrace, cinema room, co-working area and communal kitchen. Those facilities become useful throughout the academic year, whether you're preparing for exams or spending time with friends after class.
Many Tribu Kingston reviews mention the central location, modern studios and helpful on-site team as reasons residents enjoy their stay. Before booking, it's also worth browsing Tribu Kingston photos to get a clearer idea of the room layouts and shared spaces.
Address: Old London Road, Kingston upon Thames, KT2 6SN
The address places Tribu Kingston Kingston upon Thames within walking distance of Kingston University's Penrhyn Road Campus. Kingston town centre is only a few minutes away, giving residents quick access to supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, banks and high street shops.
Kingston Railway Station and Norbiton Railway Station are both nearby, making travel across South West London much easier. Regular bus services also connect the area with neighbouring towns and university campuses.
The River Thames, Canbury Gardens and Kingston Market are all within easy reach, giving students plenty of options when they want a break from lectures or a change of scenery.
A room becomes part of your routine from the day you move in. Location, facilities and monthly costs matter far more than a polished brochure once lectures begin.
Walk to Kingston University
Penrhyn Road Campus is around a 12-minute walk from the property. That saves time on busy mornings and reduces the need for daily bus fares. Public transport also provides straightforward access to other campuses and central London.
Every room is a private studio
Unlike properties that mix shared flats with studios, Tribu Kingston focuses on self-contained student accommodation in Kingston-Upon-Thames. Every room includes a private bathroom, kitchenette, study desk and storage, giving residents their own space throughout the tenancy.
Bills stay under one payment
Electricity, gas, heating, water, contents insurance and Wi-Fi all form part of the rent. One monthly payment makes it much easier to keep track of accommodation costs during the academic year.
Facilities you'll probably use
The co-working space gives residents another place to study outside their rooms. The cinema room, rooftop terrace, communal kitchen and dining area provide space to catch up with friends or take a break after lectures. Residents also receive complimentary access to The Gym Group nearby, along with monthly room cleaning.
Security throughout your stay
The building uses secure electronic entry and CCTV, while the on-site Community Manager helps with day-to-day questions during your tenancy. Maintenance support is also available whenever it's needed.
Every room at Tribu Kingston is a private studio, so you don't have to share a kitchen or bathroom with other residents. The main difference between room categories is the amount of space and the layout, giving you the option to choose a studio that matches both your budget and the way you like to study or relax.

*Prices may change depending on availability and tenancy length.
The room names mainly reflect the amount of space rather than completely different facilities. Every studio includes the essentials needed for day-to-day student life, so the choice usually comes down to budget and preferred layout.
Utility bills can become one of the hardest costs to manage in private rentals. Here, those expenses are already covered within the rent, making monthly budgeting much more straightforward.
Your rent includes:
Residents also receive complimentary monthly room cleaning, which helps keep the studio tidy without adding another regular expense.
With the main household costs already included, there's no need to organise separate utility accounts or split bills each month.
The facilities focus on the things students tend to use regularly rather than adding extras that rarely leave the brochure.
Study & Work Spaces
The co-working area provides another place to study when you need a quieter environment or want to work alongside friends. A meeting room is also available for group discussions, presentations or project work.
Social Spaces
The communal kitchen and dining area bring residents together for shared meals and social events. The lounge offers a comfortable place to unwind after classes, while the cinema room gives everyone another option for movie nights without leaving the building.
The rooftop terrace overlooks Kingston and becomes a popular place to sit when the weather is good.
Health & Wellbeing
Residents receive unlimited access to The Gym Group, giving you the flexibility to fit exercise around lectures, coursework and part-time work.
Security & Everyday Services
The building includes:
These services make everyday life much easier once the semester gets busy. Laundry, maintenance support, and secure bike storage often become just as useful as the larger communal facilities after you've settled into your routine.
Kingston University's campuses are all close to Tribu Kingston, so travelling to lectures takes very little time. Wrexham University's London Campus also sits nearby, which gives residents another university within a short distance.

I had a wonderful experience staying here, and a big part of that was thanks to Shyann at the concierge. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Whether it was recommendations, directions, or just making sure everything was running smoothly, she went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The environment of the accommodation itself is just as impressive—clean, relaxing, and thoughtfully maintained. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind and feel at home. Overall, the combination of excellent service from Shyann and the lovely surroundings made this a truly memorable stay. I would definitely recommend it and would happily return in the future.

I’ve had a really positive experience with Shyann as the accommodation manager. She is consistently helpful, approachable, and genuinely cares about the residents. Any issues or questions I’ve had were handled quickly and professionally, which shows how competent and organised she is in her role. What really stands out is her attitude, she’s not only efficient at her job but also a kind and understanding person, which makes a big difference in a living environment. It’s reassuring to know there’s someone reliable and supportive managing the place. I truly appreciate all the effort she puts in and would highly recommend her.

I am having a great experience so far here at Tribu and I especially want to highlight how amazing Shyann has been! From the very beginning, she was and continues to be incredibly proactive, responsive, and supportive especially during my move-in process. I was on a tight timeline searching for housing and Shyann made everything feel seamless and stress-free. She worked quickly to get everything sorted so I could move in as soon as possible, which I TRULY appreciated. She has been genuinely welcoming throughout my stay. On my first day, she made sure I was well settled and comfortable, which made a huge difference. Her kindness and professionalism really stood out and gave me so much peace of mind. I’m very grateful for her support and for the positive experience I’ve had at Tribu so far. Thank you, Shyann, for going above and beyond!

Shyann has been incredibly helpful since early December while I was preparing for my move. She made the entire settling-in process smooth and stress-free, always taking the time to answer my questions and even recommending places to visit. Her support truly made a huge difference. Tribu is also in a fantastic location, right near Kingston town centre, with plenty of food options and supermarkets nearby. Everything is within walking distance, which makes it very convenient. I would highly recommend considering staying here

We are from Singapore. This apartment is excellent! Their facilities, cleanliness, environment, design of the individual room and shared space, space planning, security are excellent! We love to compliment Miss Shyann for her excellent attitude towards us, we feel like a family with her warm welcome. She is very helpful, knowledgeable, responsive(especially for the room warmer which was not working, she managed to help to get it fixed the next day), friendly and polite. We are happy to know she is staying with Tribu Kingston and we are at ease at least our daughter is in good hands. Thank you 🙏 very much Miss Shyann for all the help and support you have given us!

Deposits vary by property and your deposit is placed into a deposit protection scheme, where it is held safely throughout the academic year and will be returned to you at the end of your contract subject to the contract terms. The deposit you pay when making the application cannot be used towards a rent instalment as this is secured with a deposit protection scheme for the duration of your tenancy.
Our full termination policy is within your online account. You can cancel your tenancy agreement for up to 7 days after the date of your booking (the Initial Cancellation Period). We will refund the full security deposit. Please note, £20 will be deducted from the refunded amount to cover any international bank charges for deposit refunds made to non-UK banks. If you wish to cancel your tenancy agreement after the initial cancellation period or after your tenancy has started, you will be responsible for paying the rent and any applicable fees for the full tenancy period. However, if you find a replacement tenant who is approved by the landlord and has paid both the deposit and rent, your liability will be limited to the time until the replacement tenant takes over payment. The tenancy termination will only be confirmed once the replacement tenant has completed these payments. If a replacement tenant is found, there will be a £50 fee for updating the contract, which you’ll need to pay within 14 days or it will be taken from your deposit. Once the new tenancy begins, the landlord will release you from your tenancy agreement.
Prestige Student Living do not charge a booking fee. When you accept your room offer, you’ll be asked to pay a deposit to secure your room which is secured with a deposit protection service and refunded at the end of your tenancy.
