Finding student accommodation in London usually means balancing location, budget, and daily travel. If you are studying in Shoreditch, the City, or central London, Flora Building Hoxton is an easy choice. Hoxton Station is just a short walk away, Old Street is nearby, and you can reach several universities without spending half the day on the Underground.
Room choices range from shared apartments to private studios, so you can decide how much privacy you want. If you'd rather cook in your own kitchen, that's an option. If sharing with one other student suits your budget better, you'll find that here too.
Many students also choose Flora Building Hoxton because they spend plenty of time inside the building as well as outside it. Study rooms, a gym, shared lounges, and outdoor spaces give you somewhere to work, relax, or meet other residents without leaving home.
Address: 11–13 Long Street, Hackney, London E2 8HJ, United Kingdom
The address puts you in one of East London's best-connected student neighbourhoods. Hoxton, Shoreditch, and Old Street all sit within walking distance, so cafés, supermarkets, restaurants, and transport links are part of everyday life rather than something you travel across London to reach. Hoxton Overground Station is about five minutes away on foot, while Old Street Underground Station is also close enough for regular journeys across the city.
Every student has different priorities. Some want a shorter journey to university. Others care more about having their own kitchen or finding somewhere quiet to study after lectures. Flora Building - Hoxton brings those things together in one place.
Hoxton Station is around a five-minute walk away.
Old Street Station is also nearby for Underground connections across London.
Choose from studios, twin rooms, and shared two-bedroom apartments.
Every room includes air conditioning, which isn't common in London student accommodation.

Study rooms, games room, rooftop garden, gym and shared lounges are all available inside the building.
CCTV, secure entry and on-site staff help keep the building secure throughout the year.

The best accommodation in a central location, and very nicely made common spaces and spacious rooms. Special shoutout to Shakir who makes Flora Building feel safe and secure for all us students. Living here wouldn’t be as amazing and comfortable if he wasn’t there with his steady approach when it comes to the concerns and safety of the residents. He’s always been a friendly and a reliable face in the building at night so we all can be at peace. He’s a star!!

I have had a very positive experience living at Flora. The staff are always kind, helpful and welcoming. In particular, Shakir, who works on the night security shifts, is very responsible, friendly and supportive whenever residents need help. As I have a foot injury, he has been very considerate and often helps me by opening the door and helping me with heavy items when needed. His support makes daily life much easier, and I really appreciate his kindness and professionalism.

I've lived at Flora Building for 3 years during my degree. It has been consistently a secure and safe place where I can find respite from a chaotic London and busy schedule. The building is always well maintained, with daily cleaning in communal areas during the week along with any maintenance issues you've reported dealt with promptly. The night time and weekend security staff are great, especially Shakir. My packages have always been dealt with appropriately and quickly, never has any got lost. I have read some of the negative reviews on here which complain about fire alarms, internet and staff coming into rooms - From my experience there are weekly fire alarm tests on Wednesdays and unfortunately the reality is that some students it their first time away from home and their cooking skills are a bit lack luster - think level 1 sims (hence repeated alarms going off). Although in the summer has become less of an issue. Regarding room access, the staff only enter the room if there is planned maintenance, and they always email you to notify in advance. Unless you have called maintenance and they arrive promptly. The internet is consistent, as with most things in life, something things go wrong, and the internet supplier approximately 3-4 times in 3 years have had various down time, or issues, but these have always been dealt with properly. Lastly, the staff have been wonderful during my time here, I have always felt I could talk to them about any of the issues that I may be having, and even developed a friendly relationship with them over the years amounting to many laughs and jokes. My experience is that some of the other residents can come across as quite entitled and rude, so perhaps they sort of initiate a reaction of displeasure when interacting with staff. This review is for anyone who is looking at finding a student accomodation and wanting to ensure it is a safe, secure and friendly place, I can confirm from my experience that it is - and I will be sad to say goodbye.

I lived in a premium studio here for 9 months during my postgraduate study. I am truly thankful for all the staffs here who are always make me feel welcome and warm. Specially thanks to Wilson, Janine , Shakir , John and Rosanna for taking care of me during my stay. The building design is modern and stylish. The premium room is quite spacious for one person with plenty of storage spaces. The furnitures are still new and in good condition . The bathroom is bit small but acceptable for one person use and it’s London usual standard. The soundproof is great in overall.The air conditioning is a big plus as only 5% buildings in London install its own air conditioning system, especially during the summer season. As someone who has sensitive skin and nose allergy, having in-room air conditioning is truly a blessing. I survived the heatwave this year thanks to it. The price per week might seem expensive at first sight but all bills included and air conditioning included are understandable and sufficient. Moreover, the maintenance of this building is fast and efficient with John being so kind and good at his job. Furthermore, the building app is sufficient. And if you live here, you will not have to worry about the letters and parcels as they will be always in safe place. Also the gym is good enough to use with all the basics. And the rooftop garden in the 5th floor is pretty lovely on a nice weather day. Hoxton area is part of Shoreditch and I like the neighbourhood vibes here with many restaurants, cafes, pubs and galleries. It is safe area to live. The transportation is efficient with plenty of bus stops including night buses just few minutes walk from the building. The buses goes to diverse areas making travel so convenient i.e just few stops to get to major railway stations like Liverpool street , Old street … Direct bus to Oxford street, Charing Cross, Holborn , get you there in less than 40 minutes. The overground train ( Windrush line) is also another plus as it is clean and the lifts are available make it hassle free. Just few stops from Elizabeth line ( Whitechapel) for fast travel to central or to Straford or conveniently airport transfer, Jubilee line( Canada water) which is just one stop from Canary Wharf, Victoria line ( Highbury Islington) which is a stop from King’s Cross. My joy is visiting Columbia Flower market every Sunday morning, Museum of the Home and its garden with free exhibitions every month , Hoxton market for fresh groceries, walk around Hoxton square, Shoreditch church and so on. If you like coffee or matcha, there are authentic places around Hoxton. Indeed many things to do here once you step out from the building. From here, you can also walk to Spitalfields market and Bricklane for various restaurants, cafes and art galleries. Regarding groceries, there are Tesco Express, Sainsbury local ( less than 5 minutes walk) and Lidl ( near Hoxton market), two Longdan- Asian supermarkets and few local marts around. If you prefer shopping at large supermarkets, there is a big Morrisons or Sainsbury just few bus stops from here . There are also two Aldi locals just few bus stops away. There are pilates and yoga studios just two minutes walk from the building as well as a popular glass making studio if you interested. In general, I enjoy living at Flora and I highly recommend to all the students who are looking for a cozy, comfortable and safe place to stay during their study.

Living at Prestige Student Living – Flora Building has been a truly comforting experience. The accommodation is modern, well-maintained, and highly appreciated. A special thanks to Roxanaa and Jenine at reception for their constant support, kindness, and accessibility—they always make students feel welcomed and heard. Manager Wilson’s disciplined and professional approach ensures everything runs smoothly, creating a reliable environment for all. I would also like to appreciate Mohammad Shakir from the security team for his attentiveness and care, always ensuring safety and peace of mind. Overall, the staff’s balance of discipline and genuine care makes this place feel like a true home for students.
