Student Housing
London
Moving to a new city requires preparation and planning. It may take you a few weeks to find a suitable apartment for rent. Most GIA students find that the solution to this problem is to stay for a while at a local hotel. If you plan to do so, please remember that there are times during the year when it could be difficult to find a vacancy. You will be much happier with your lodging if you reserve a room in advance.
Although GIA does not have dormitory facilities, within close proximity of our school you'll find housing opportunities in a wide range of sizes, amenities, and rental prices. It is wise to start your research 6 to 8 weeks before your arrival.
Current monthly housing costs range from about £500 for modest flat-share arrangements to £1,500 or more for luxury apartments.
Short-term stay hotel arrangements are also available for students attending Lab Classes or Student Workroom, starting at about £60 per night.
Please browse through the following options to find the accommodation that best suits your needs.
