Great Court London is located at:
Great Court, 78 Rolls Road, Bermondsey, London, SE1 5DU
Rolls Road sits in Bermondsey, a part of south-east London that has changed significantly over the past decade. It now has a mix of independent cafes, restaurants, and bars alongside the older residential streets and industrial architecture the area is known for. Bermondsey Street cafes are a short walk from the building and are consistently popular for coffee and lunch.
Bermondsey Bar and Kitchen and Bermondsey Bierkeller are nearby restaurant options for a more substantial meal. The Old Justice, The Garrison, and The Woolpack are traditional pub options within easy reach for evenings out.
For transport, Bermondsey Underground Station is close to the property and sits on the Jubilee Line, which covers Westminster, Bond Street, Canary Wharf, and Stratford without requiring a change.
London Bridge Station is also accessible and serves both Thameslink and Southeastern mainline rail routes, plus additional Underground lines, making it one of the stronger transport hubs in south-east London. The Rolls Road bus corridor has several bus stops covering local routes across Bermondsey, Elephant and Castle, and beyond.
For groceries, Bermondsey has several supermarkets nearby. PureGym London Bermondsey is close for fitness alongside the on-site gym. Southwark Park is the nearest large green space, suitable for running, walking, or studying outside on good days.
John Harvard Library is nearby for academic resources outside the building. Surrey Quays Shopping Centre covers retail needs for anything beyond the local high street. Guy's Hospital is in the area and is one of London's major teaching hospitals, providing reassurance for medical needs during your tenancy.
Great Court Student Accommodation London offers four room types across two categories: en-suite rooms in shared flats and a self-contained studio apartment. En-suite rooms give you a private bathroom while sharing kitchen and communal areas with flatmates.
The Platinum Studio is fully self-contained, with a private bathroom and a compact kitchen, giving you complete independence for cooking and daily living. Every room across all types comes furnished with a comfortable bed, a dedicated study desk and chair, and ample storage.
The table below covers all four room types at Great Court London, with weekly prices and key features.

The Bronze En Suite at £299 per week was the most affordable option at great court student accommodation, though it is currently sold out. It is worth checking with the House of Student team whether availability changes for your intake year. The Gold Skyline En Suite at £325 per week and the Platinum Plus En Suite at £330 per week are the current entry points for available en-suite rooms, with a small difference in space and appointment level between them. Both give you a private bathroom, a study area, and access to shared kitchen and living areas with flatmates.
The Platinum Studio at £455 per week is the only self-contained option at Great Court London and is suited to students who want to cook independently and have their living, studying, and sleeping in a single private unit.
The jump in price from the Platinum Plus En Suite reflects the addition of a private kitchen and the complete separation from shared communal spaces. Contact the House of Student team to confirm current availability and live pricing for your intake year before making a booking.
Great Court London takes an all-inclusive approach to rent. Every weekly payment covers all essential household bills, so there are no separate utility accounts to set up and no bill-splitting arrangements to manage with flatmates.
The table below sets out everything included in the rent at great court student accommodation.

Having water, heating, gas, and Wi-Fi all rolled into one weekly payment removes the most common source of friction in shared student living, which is disagreements over utility bills and usage.
You know exactly what you are paying each week from day one of your tenancy, which makes planning your budget for food, transport, and social activities considerably easier. The all-inclusive structure also removes the admin of contacting utility providers, setting up accounts, and reading meters before you move in.
Great court student accommodation london provides a broad set of on-site facilities covering fitness, social spaces, security, and daily practicalities. The cinema room, games room, and club lounge give residents three distinct social spaces beyond a standard common room, which is more variety than most student properties offer. The gym means you do not need a separate fitness membership to stay active.
On-site laundry removes the need to find a laundrette in Bermondsey. The bike storage and bike service together are a thoughtful combination, covering both secure parking for your bicycle and basic maintenance, which is more useful than storage alone for students who cycle regularly.
The table below gives a full overview of all facilities at Great Court London.

The club lounge is a step above a standard common room in terms of finish and atmosphere, giving residents a more social venue for evenings and downtime. The cinema room suits group film nights and is a facility that many student properties list but few actually provide in a dedicated, properly equipped space. The bike service alongside bike storage is worth noting specifically, because students who use their bike daily for commuting to campus need basic maintenance access throughout the year, not just somewhere to leave the bike. Having both on site removes a practical barrier to cycling as a primary transport option from this address.
Great court student accommodation London sits in Bermondsey on the Jubilee Line, which gives you direct Underground access to a broad range of university campuses without needing to change trains. London Bridge Station adds further rail connections for campuses in north and central London.
The universities listed in the original property information are further out than the nearest campuses from Bermondsey, so the Jubilee Line and London Bridge connections are the key practical factor for university access from this address.
The table below covers the universities listed near Great Court London, with distances from the property.

The distances to the listed universities reflect Great Court's position in the south-east of the city, which is further from the main cluster of central London universities than properties in zones one and two. That said, the Jubilee Line from Bermondsey station is one of the fastest Underground routes into central London. Southwark, Waterloo, Westminster, and Green Park are all reachable in under 15 minutes from Bermondsey, which covers a wide range of universities and colleges not listed in the table above but accessible on the same line. London Bridge station adds Thameslink connections to Farringdon, City Thameslink, and Blackfriars, covering campuses in the EC and WC postcodes efficiently.
Students considering Great Court London who attend institutions like King's College London, LSE, UCL, or any other central London university should map the Jubilee Line journey from Bermondsey to their nearest station before committing. The train journey times are often shorter than the mile-based distance suggests, which is a practical point that pure distance comparisons can underplay.
Great Court London answers the practical questions that matter most when deciding on student accommodation in the capital.

Very bad management. Lift has been Broken since forever and they are still providing excuses instead of solutions. Heater keep braking as well. Theres always issues with this place
Senasena1
I’m writing this review completely honestly because accommodation quality is crucial for international students, and I don’t want anyone to experience what I did here. The biggest issue was heating. The room heating kept turning on and off, roughly one hour on, one hour off. At night the gaps were even longer, and rooms were freezing cold. This continued throughout the entire winter. Hot water was also frequently unavailable. Residents across the building complained, and I have WhatsApp screenshots as evidence. The radiator in my room was checked several times for repair, but it never worked properly. It was almost impossible to stay in the room during winter. The kitchen radiator did not work for the whole winter either. I reported this multiple times to the manager, Karene. Karene sent someone to check it, and afterwards said, “there’s no problem; you must be keeping the window open.” However, everyone on my floor had to cook while wearing coats. Eventually, because I kept raising the issue and tried to change accommodation, Karene sent me an email accusing me of making it up. Afterwards, my flatmates emailed Karene to confirm that I wasn’t the only one complaining about the kitchen radiator, but still, nothing was fixed. Another major issue was the unpaid refund. In February, Karene told me I had been overcharged for the first two weeks and that a refund would be issued once I signed a new contract. I had paid a total of £1300, so the overcharged amount was approximately £600. Since I had told Karene that the heating situation constituted a breach and that I was considering small claims court, receiving a new contract right after that felt suspicious. I compared the old and new versions Karene sent and saw no difference; I asked Karene to explain the changes. She didn’t, but I signed it in good faith based on Karene’s promise that the refund would be processed. It has been nine months. I have emailed and messaged Karene and, later, the new managers many times. Despite assurances, the refund was never paid; no one provided a explanation. As management kept changing, I forwarded Karene’s original emails to every new manager and clearly explained the situation, still, nothing was resolved. In August, a new manager told me they owed me £60 and asked for my payment details, but even that hasn’t been paid. In total, they owe me around £660, and Karene and the management have failed to take any responsibility. Rooms are very small. If you stay on lower floors (I was on the 2nd), cigarette smoke from the smoking area fills the room whenever you open the window. On the positive side, the furniture and bathrooms were new, and the common areas were spacious and clean. I’m sure they will try to deny what I’ve written here, but everything above is documented. I have WhatsApp messages and emails. I’m happy to share proof if needed. I’m not posting this to attack anyone, I just don’t want other international students to go through the same experience.

I stayed here this year and to be honest it wasn’t great. The staff can be unhelpful sometimes and not very approachable. I had a horrible experience checking out where there was confusion about the time that we had to check out. Other residents who I talked to in the elevator were also confused. This miscommunication caused me to have to take a morning off work and use annual leave time. There is always a weird smell around the place. The rooms are ok but there were a few occasions where there was no hot water, this was particularly inconvenient in the winter months. The location was not very safe and I would normally have to take either a taxi or a bus from the tube to get home in the dark as I wasn’t comfortable walking that road. I was going to rebook but decided against it

My time at Great Court was nothing short of a complete and utter disappointment, representing shockingly poor value for money and a blatant disregard for basic tenant well-being. The rooms are small and poorly designed that you will immediately feel cheated, as it is painfully obvious the entire building was engineered to milk as much rent as possible from international students by cramming in an unreasonable number of rooms. This lack of care extends to maintenance, where reported issues are perpetually ignored; the dishwasher in my kitchen was broken for the entire duration of my tenancy, a full year, and was never once repaired. Most alarmingly, the chronic moisture problem caused the walls around my bathroom to expand and warp so severely that I could no longer close the door, presenting what I believe to be a serious health and safety hazard that management willfully neglected. Everything was poorly designed- I accidentally dipped a plastic bottle in my toilet and it broke through leaving a hole!! I cannot stress enough that you can, and absolutely should, find significantly better accommodation for this price. This place is an exploitative venture that preys on students, and I deeply regret my decision to stay here.

I have been living here for 4 months and I find the staff quite approachable, friendly and the manager Karene quite accommodating of my requests. The rent is on the higher side, but it includes amenities such as free bike rentals, gym, and a cinema room. Additionally, the management and staff often organize social events and gatherings for residents.

We're all grown-ups here so of course occasional overnight guests are allowed. Please don't invite someone to stay for more than three consecutive nights though, and always check with your flatmates first that they're ok with extra house guests.
Yes, but the property will ask you to complete a few extra steps during the booking process. This will include nominating a Responsible Adult who will be the property's point of contact for you and they will recommend monthly meetings with the General Manager once you have moved in but that’s up to you!
Of course! We are very proud of the properties and would love to show you around. If you want to bring some friends or family members that’s absolutely fine too – we just ask that you speak to the Residents’ Team in advance so they can make sure they have some rooms available to show you. If you find yourself in the area and haven’t had a chance to speak to them you can still pop in, whilst they might not have a room to show you they will still be able to show you around the Residents’ Shared Spaces. Properties also offer online video viewings if you don’t live locally so let us know what works for you!
The choice is yours! You can select to have a guarantor which allows you to pay your rent in instalments, or, if you prefer, and are able to make your full years payment upfront, you won’t need a guarantor. If you do choose to have guarantor, please make sure they understand they are committing to pay the rent if you aren’t able to. They do not have to live in the UK but must be over 18 and not live in a property managed by Fresh. Once you have signed the contract your guarantor will be asked to provide proof of ID and their address and also sign a copy of the agreement.
Most of the properties require applicants to pay an advance rent at the time of booking. This is refundable should you decide to cancel within the cooling off period (please see your properties T&C's for more information). If you provide evidence before the start of the tenancy, the property will refund the advance rent if you later find your place has been withdrawn or you are not able to obtain a visa to enter the UK. The advance rent will show as a payment towards your first rent instalment on your account.
