Life in London

London is truly one of the most dynamic and exciting cities in the world, offering students an unparalleled environment in which to live and study. Whether your interest is art and theater, politics and economics, or film and music, it can all be found in abundance. King’s College is in between the City of London, which is the financial and legal centre of the capital, and the West End with its shops, bars, theatres, museums and other major tourist attractions. King's College is composed of three campuses, all of which are in the center of the city near the famous River Thames. Already a leading university in London, King's College was made even more famous by Dan Brown's novel The DaVinci Code, in which the renowned Religion Department library played a role.

Housing and Meals

Partner students are responsible for making housing and meal arrangements independently. Once accepted, students are required to submit a housing application. Provided the application is received by the deadline, all students are provided housing in a college or inter-college residence. Housing is provided primarily in either Halls of Residence of self-catered apartments.

King’s College has two catered halls and four self-catering facilities. The halls are traditional in arrangement with twin and single rooms sharing communal bathrooms and kitchens on a corridor. With self-catered apartments, bedrooms are arranged in a self-contained flat, usually for four to nine students sharing a communal kitchen. King's students may also apply to live in one of the Inter-collegiate halls which provide an opportunity for residents to mix with students from all the Colleges of the University.

All residences are served by public transportation and have easy access to all the campuses by bus, underground or mainline train.
