Arbour House Address & Location

Address

Arbour House
 1 Sebastian Street, London EC1V 0HF, United Kingdom

One of the biggest advantages of The Arbour House is where it's located. City, University of London is just around the corner, while Shoreditch, Angel, Farringdon, and Islington are all within walking distance. That means you can head to lectures in the morning, grab dinner with friends after class, or catch the Tube across London without spending much time commuting.

Living in Zone 1 also makes getting around the city much easier. Angel, Barbican, and Farringdon Underground stations are all nearby, giving you direct connections to different parts of London whenever you need them.

Why Choose Arbour House London Student Accommodation?

There are plenty of student properties across London, but Arbour House student accommodation stands out because it focuses on the things you'll actually use every day.

Walk to Campus

City, University of London is only a few minutes away, making early lectures much easier to manage. If your timetable has long gaps between classes, it's easy to head back to your room before your next lecture.

Zone 1 Location

Living in central London means shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and transport links are already around you. Shoreditch, Clerkenwell, Angel, and Islington are all close enough to explore without planning a long journey.

Choose the Room That Fits Your Routine

Some students enjoy sharing a kitchen because it makes meeting people easier. Others prefer having their own space from day one. Halls Arbour House gives you both options through en-suite rooms and fully self-contained studios.

Bills Included

Electricity, heating, water, Wi-Fi, and contents insurance are already included in your rent. There are no separate utility bills to organise after moving in, making monthly budgeting much simpler.

Extra Facilities Nearby

Residents also have access to facilities at nearby Walmsley Studios, including a gym and courtyard. It gives you more space to exercise or spend time outside without travelling across the city.

A Smaller Student Community

Unlike larger student halls with several hundred residents, Arbour House London accommodates around 188 students. The smaller size makes the building easier to settle into, especially if you're moving to London for the first time.

Security Throughout the Day

Secure electronic entry, CCTV, and a 24-hour on-site team help keep the building secure while giving you someone to contact if you need assistance.
