Aldgate East
1 / 3
Aldgate East runs along the line between the financial district and the East End, which is why the rents swing so hard from one street to the next. Whitechapel Gallery and the Brick Lane markets are a few minutes on foot. Aldgate East and Liverpool Street between them cover the District, Hammersmith & City, Central and Elizabeth lines, so most campuses are one change away.

Where can I add or update my payment details?
You'll have the option to add your payment details when making a booking.
Can I share a studio room with someone else?
They have a small number of dual occupancy rooms in some of the properties. However, outside of these rooms, they do not allow more than one person to live in the rooms, nor can they accommodated under 16's living in any of the rooms with a parent or guardian.
Is there parking available at my property and how much does it cost?
Some of the properties have parking available which students can reserve on a first come first serve basis. The cost of the parking space is dependent on the property.
When can I move in?
You can move in on or after the start date of your tenancy.
What bedding is suitable for a 3/4 sized bed?
A 3/4 sized bed is larger than a single but slightly smaller than a standard double.
It's worth checking online for 3/4 sized bedding specifically as many stockists now offer this. Otherwise, they would recommend opting for bedding that fits a small to standard double bed.
I want to move or upgrade my room. Can I do this?
All our show flats, and the images on our website, are representative of a particular room type unless labelled otherwise – however they are not identical. Your room will have all the same features and fittings, just in a slightly different set up. If you are unhappy with your room, please speak to the reception team. Where there are other rooms available they will offer these as an alternative. Please be aware that these requests may incur a charge.
How do I collect my key?
You can collect your keys from reception when you arrive. Remember, if you have been asked to do so, make sure you have booked a check-in slot. At your allotted time, just come straight to the main reception with your photo ID and the team will have your keys ready and waiting for you.
What do I need to bring with me to check in?
You just need to bring a valid form of photo ID to prove who you are when you arrive. There’s no need to print off your tenancy agreement or booking confirmation. They can accept a valid passport, driving licence or national ID card as proof of ID.
What should I do if I don’t have photo ID?
They can accept a valid passport, driving licence or national ID card as proof of ID. If you don’t have any of these, please bring any proof of ID that you have. The team will check this and will need to ask a few security questions before they can provide you with your key.
My flatmate didn't help to clean the kitchen. What do I do?
It's a good idea to plan for your check-out in advance of the end of your tenancy, so you can share the cleaning responsibilities. You and your flatmates are equally responsible for leaving the cupboards, fridge, and freezer empty and the kitchen clean.
If your flatmates have left without cleaning the kitchen it is your choice whether you do the cleaning yourself. Any charges will apply to all flatmates – yourself included – so we recommend putting in the effort to organise this ahead of everyone leaving.
