The source records these prices and historical travel figures.
AXO Waterloo
AXO Waterloo has the lowest starting rate at £200 per week.
The historical journey from the property to the former GSM London site takes around 35 minutes.
The Waterloo location may work better for students who attend a central London institution than for those based in Greenwich.
Townhall Camberwell
Townhall Camberwell starts at £230 per week.
The property has a historical public transport journey of 31 minutes.
Camberwell may appeal to students who attend universities or art institutions in South London.
Romano Court
Romano Court begins at £240 per week.
The historical journey takes approximately 30 minutes.
Its central London position may reduce travel for students who attend an institution near Clerkenwell or central London.
Creek Court
Creek Court costs more than AXO Waterloo, Townhall Camberwell and Romano Court, but it creates a much shorter historical journey to Greenwich.
Its starting rent of £245 per week combines with an eight-minute public transport estimate.
This comparison shows why students should review price and distance together.
Properties Farther from Greenwich
The Cube Ealing, Grand Felda House and Portobello Garrow House have lower starting rates than several Greenwich properties, but they create much longer cross-London journeys.
A room in Ealing or Wembley would make little practical sense for a student who attends classes in Greenwich every weekday.
Use the actual university address before treating any property as affordable.
How to Compare the Complete Rent
The weekly price does not show the full cost of a tenancy.
Students should check:
- Contract length
- Utility charges
- Internet
- Laundry
- Deposit
- Advance rent
- Guarantor requirements
- Travel
- Cancellation terms
- Replacement-tenant conditions
A cheaper room may require more public transport and a longer contract.
A higher-priced room near campus can reduce travel costs and save several hours each week.
Purpose-built properties often include utilities, while private landlords may charge them separately.
Students should also confirm which room carries the advertised starting price
