Located in East London close to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Mile End has been close to the heart of the regeneration of East London starting prior to the 2012 London Olympics. With Queen Mary University directly opposite the residence, and the Olympic Park and aquatic centre within walking distance this area has a thriving student community. Mile End has all the bars and clubs you’d expect of an area with over 2,000 students living nearby.
This isn’t just a student and party area, it is also one of the greenest parts of London, between Victoria and Mile End parks and alongside the Regent Canal. This allows students to experience the quieter side of London living when they are not studying or exploring the capital’s rich history and culture.
From shopping in one of Europe’s largest urban shopping centres, eating in some of the best restaurants in London to playing sport in the London 2012 venues, there’s plenty for everyone. It is not all about shopping or eating either, East London has plenty of its own tourist attractions; Museum of London dockyard, Whitechapel Art Gallery, Geffrye museum of the Home, The Ten Bells, Wilton’s Music Hall, Spitalfields Market and the world famous Tower of London with Tower Bridge are all within a few minutes of this remarkable student residence.
