Students looking for Amos Sport Business School accommodation usually compare three things before booking: weekly rent, travelling time and the character of the neighbourhood.
Greenwich itself offers the shortest journey to campus, but neighbouring districts provide additional options for students working within different budgets.
Greenwich Town Centre
Greenwich Town Centre is the closest residential area to campus.
Students living here normally reach lectures within five to ten minutes on foot, making it the most convenient location available.
Despite being part of London, Greenwich has a noticeably different atmosphere from many central districts. Historic streets, independent cafés, local restaurants and open spaces sit alongside everyday essentials such as supermarkets and pharmacies.
The area is also home to Greenwich Market, the Old Royal Naval College and Greenwich Park, meaning there is usually plenty happening outside university hours.
Purpose-built student accommodation here generally falls between £200 and £350 per week.
Students who prefer walking to class instead of relying on public transport often begin their search here.
Creek Road
Creek Road sits just west of Greenwich and has become increasingly popular with students over recent years.
Walking, cycling or taking the DLR usually gets you to campus within 10 to 20 minutes.
Compared with Greenwich town centre, accommodation here often offers slightly better value while remaining close enough to avoid a lengthy commute.
House of Student properties in this area include:
- Creek Court
- Ewen Henderson Court
Weekly rents typically begin between £245 and £258.
New Cross
New Cross has one of south London's strongest student communities thanks to the presence of Goldsmiths, University of London.
The neighbourhood has a steady mix of cafés, independent restaurants, music venues and supermarkets, giving students plenty of options close to home.
Travelling to Amos Sport Business School generally takes around 15 to 20 minutes by public transport.
Accommodation prices average around £269 per week, making New Cross a practical choice for students who want an active student environment without moving too far from Greenwich.
Lewisham
Lewisham appeals to students who expect to travel regularly beyond the university.
As one of south London's main transport interchanges, it offers DLR services, National Rail connections and frequent bus routes throughout the capital.
The journey to campus usually takes around 15 minutes.
Properties such as Chapter Lewisham provide modern student accommodation, with prices beginning at approximately £307 per week.
The Cube Greenwich Area
Students looking for newer accommodation developments may also consider the area surrounding The Cube Greenwich.
The journey to campus generally takes around 15 minutes using public transport.
Accommodation here starts at roughly £320 per week, attracting students who place greater importance on newer buildings and modern communal facilities.
Which Area Makes the Most Sense?
There isn't a single neighbourhood that suits everyone.
Students wanting the shortest commute usually remain in Greenwich.
Those looking to reduce accommodation costs often compare Creek Road with New Cross, where weekly rents can be lower without adding much extra travel.
Lewisham works particularly well for students travelling across London several times each week, while newer developments around Greenwich appeal to those who place greater value on facilities than keeping rent as low as possible.
Looking at weekly rent alone rarely gives the full picture. Time spent travelling, transport costs and day-to-day convenience all become part of the overall cost of living once the academic year begins.
