Private Room (Non-En-Suite)

A private bedroom with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. The most affordable option in the private rental market, starting from around £180 to £250 per week in East London.

Works for students who want a private sleeping space and are comfortable sharing communal areas. Requires coordination with housemates on cleaning and kitchen use.

En-Suite

A private bedroom and private bathroom within a cluster flat. Students share a communal kitchen and living area. Prices in London PBSA run from around £250 to £350 per week.

The most popular room type in purpose-built student accommodation in London, balancing bathroom privacy with the social structure of flat life. Students new to London tend to find cluster flat living a reliable way to meet people in the first weeks.

A self-contained unit with bedroom, living space, kitchenette, and private bathroom in one open-plan space. No shared facilities. Prices start from around £350 per week and rise above £450 per week for central East London PBSA.

Suits students who cook at home regularly, study in their room, and prefer a quiet environment. The trade-off is cost and less organic social contact.

Entire Place

A full flat or house rented by a group. The highest cost per property but potentially cost-effective per person when split among several housemates. Requires joint tenancy management, shared bill setup, and direct landlord communication.

A 2 to 3 bedroom flat in East London runs £400 to £700 or more per person per week depending on size and condition. More common among students in their second or third year with settled flat groups already in place.
