About this property
A student room decides how long you spend travelling, where you study after lectures, and how easily you can pick up groceries on the way home. London Road Apartments Southampton gives you that convenience without giving up your own space. Located on London Road in the city centre, the property offers private studios and apartments with bills included, making day-to-day student life much easier to manage.
Many students choose London Road Apartments Southampton student accommodation because they want a private kitchen, an en-suite bathroom and quick access to both university and the city. Solent University is only a short walk away, regular buses stop outside the building for the University of Southampton, and shops, cafés and supermarkets are all within a few minutes. You also get access to study areas, social spaces, a gym and entertainment facilities without leaving the student community.

You'll probably remember the places around your accommodation long before you remember your room number. The supermarket where you stopped after lectures. The café where group assignments somehow turned into two-hour conversations. The park you crossed on the way back. London Road Apartments Southampton puts those places within a short walk, which makes the location easy to appreciate long after move-in day.

Hriday Soin
★☆☆☆☆ A BIG NO. The location of London Road Apartments is excellent, but unfortunately that is where the positives end. I moved into Room 18 in April and reported issues almost immediately. The room contained visible dust and debris despite being described as professionally cleaned and signed off before arrival. I also experienced problems with the shower shortly after moving in. The biggest issue has been the extreme heat and poor ventilation. My room receives direct afternoon sun, becomes unbearably hot during warm weather and remains uncomfortable well into the evening. The windows only open slightly, there is no air conditioning and the ventilation system has done little to improve conditions. I have had to rely on multiple fans just to make the room bearable. Opening the windows creates another problem, with flies, beetles and spiders regularly entering the room. What has frustrated me most is the response to concerns. Despite numerous emails over several months regarding overheating, ventilation, cleaning and maintenance issues, not once has a senior member of management visited the room to assess the situation firsthand. There always seems to be an explanation for why a problem exists, but very rarely a practical solution. For the rent being charged, I expected far better. If you are considering staying here during the summer months, think carefully before booking.

I lived for 2 years there and I have nothing but great things to say. The rooms are spacious with a great interior. There is a little bit of noise coming from outside due to the central position of the halls but everything is fixed once you close the windows which are noise-cancelling. Tesco is right below so you do not have to walk a long distance to get groceries. Also, there are several cafes, pubs and restaurants around that area! Excellent customer service, every time I raised an issue with them they solved it right away. During this time when Covid-19 affects everything, they really empathised with us and helped us with various issues (accommodation fees, mental health etc) I 100% recommend this place!!!
