218 St John Street, London28 mins tube
Unite – Walmsley Studios student accommodation is on St John Street in Islington, a short walk from Angel and Barbican stations. The EC1V postcode is around 28 minutes from Imperial College London and centrally located for City University, Bayes Business School and UCL. St John Street itself runs south from Islington's busy Upper Street — a thoroughfare of restaurants, cinemas and shops — making Walmsley Studios one of the most social Unite locations in London.
Rooms range from £299 to £445 per week, with a gym included in the building's amenity package — a differentiator from several other Unite properties at this price. All bills are covered on a 10-month contract. No-visa-no-pay protection is standard.
Walmsley Studios offers a gym, laundry, 24-hour concierge, study spaces and social areas. The combination of Zone 1 Angel location, a gym on-site and a sub-£300 entry price makes this one of the standout value options for EC1 student accommodation. The proximity to Upper Street's social options and the short walk to multiple tube lines add to its appeal.
