About this property

Drapery Place

Drapery Place London Student Accommodation

London gives you thousands of places to live, but very few that let you get across the city without turning every lecture into a long commute.

 

Students choosing Drapery Place London usually aren't just picking a room. They're choosing to live in a part of the city where the university campuses, supermarkets, cafés and late-night food spots are already part of the neighbourhood. After a few weeks, that convenience becomes something you stop thinking about because it simply works.

 

Located on Leman Street in Aldgate, it offers both en-suite rooms and private studios. Whether you're studying for long hours, balancing a part-time job, or making the most of weekends in London, the location makes it easier to fit everything into the same day without spending hours travelling between places.

 

Unite Students Drapery Place London Address & Location

 

Address: 65 Leman Street, London E1 8EU, United Kingdom

 

Once the term begins, you start noticing the places you use again and again rather than the landmarks shown on city guides.

 

Aldgate East Underground Station is only a short walk from the building, making it easy to reach different parts of London for lectures, placements or weekends out. Several bus routes also stop nearby, which helps if you're travelling later in the evening or carrying shopping back.

 

Daily errands stay simple here. Tesco Express, Sainsbury's Local and Whole Foods Market are all close enough for regular grocery runs, while cafés, bakeries and independent restaurants fill the surrounding streets.

 

If you prefer studying somewhere other than your room, Artizan Street Library and Whitechapel Library are both nearby. Brick Lane, Spitalfields Market and Tower Bridge are also within walking distance, so there's plenty to do once university work is out of the way.

 

Many students searching for Drapery Place student halls want a location where they can spend less time travelling and more time making use of what London offers. This part of the city makes that possible.

 

Why Choose Drapery Place London Student Accommodation?

One of the biggest expenses of studying in London isn't rent—it's time.

 

An extra 30 or 40 minutes on public transport every day soon adds up, especially when you're juggling lectures, coursework, a part-time job and everything else that comes with university life. That's one reason Drapery Place London continues to attract students studying across different parts of the city.

 

Instead of relying on long commutes, residents have Aldgate East Underground Station just a few minutes away, with supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and everyday essentials already within walking distance.

Here's what stands out about Drapery Place student accommodation London.

 

Central London Location

Living in Zone 1 means you don't have to treat central London as somewhere you only visit at weekends.

 

Universities, museums, markets, libraries, restaurants and transport links are all part of your local area, making it easier to fit more into the day without constantly checking train times.

Who Should Choose Drapery Place Student Accommoation London?

Different accommodation suits different lifestyles, and Drapery Place student accommodation tends to appeal to students who already know how they want to live.

 

Students Studying Across Central London: If your university is spread across different buildings or you expect to travel around the city for lectures, placements or internships, a Zone 1 address makes daily travel much easier.

 

Students Who Prefer Private Space: The mix of en-suite rooms and studios works well if you want your own bathroom or would rather avoid sharing every part of your accommodation.

 

Students New to London: Sorting out utility providers, broadband contracts and building maintenance can feel overwhelming when you've just arrived in a new city. Here, those essentials are already included, making the move much simpler.

 

Students Who Spend Time Outside the Classroom: The gym, dance studio, music rooms and study spaces provide somewhere to go without leaving the building. Whether you're preparing for an assignment or taking a break after lectures, the facilities support different routines instead of focusing on just one type of student.

I’ve stayed at Unite Students for 6 months before, and I actually decided to come back again for a second time — which probably says everything about my experience. Honestly, it’s been a really comfortable place to live. The staff are genuinely helpful and approachable, not just doing their job but actually trying to sort things out for you. Anytime I had a small issue or needed help with something, it was dealt with quickly and without any stress. The building feels safe and well looked after, and that’s something I really value. It’s also easy to meet people here, but at the same time you still have your own space when you need to focus or just relax. The location makes student life simple — close to uni and everything you need day to day. Coming back for a second stay felt like the right decision. It’s familiar, reliable, and just makes life easier as a student. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a good student accommodation experience.

Avoid Londonist

1.0

I had an extremely stressful and unacceptable experience with Londonist, and I would strongly warn other students and tenants to be very careful before booking with them. On the first day I moved in, the bathroom hygiene condition was shocking and completely unacceptable. I was told that the property had already been cleaned twice, but the actual condition was still very poor. For accommodation aimed at students and international tenants, this level of hygiene was simply not acceptable. I contacted Londonist immediately and sent several emails within the first week asking to discuss ending the agreement and moving out because I did not feel comfortable or safe staying there. However, I received no proper response. I also tried calling their finance team and relevant staff multiple times, but the communication was extremely poor. Instead of helping me resolve the issue, they appeared to ignore and avoid the problem. Because there was no clear response or solution from Londonist, I had to move out and find temporary accommodation elsewhere at my own cost. This caused me a lot of stress, inconvenience, and additional financial pressure. What made the experience even worse was what happened afterwards. Several months later, instead of properly addressing my complaint or the poor condition of the property, I received further pressure from their finance team. I also received a phone call that I found intimidating and threatening, saying they would take legal action against me. After months of poor communication and no proper resolution, this felt extremely unfair and distressing. In my opinion, Londonist’s handling of this situation was unacceptable from beginning to end: poor hygiene, poor complaint handling, lack of communication, avoidance of responsibility, and then aggressive payment pressure afterwards. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Londonist, especially to international students who may not be familiar with the UK rental system. Please be very careful before signing anything or making any payment to them. For clarity, the photos attached to this review were taken at Drapery Place, which was one of the accommodation options rented through Londonist. They show the actual room condition I found on the first day I moved in, despite being told that cleaning had already been carried out.

4.0

One of the best student accommodations! This is my third time moving back here, and every experience has been wonderful. The location is excellent, with easy access to public transport. Supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, bars, and everything you could need are just few steps away. The staff are all friendly and welcoming, but I would especially like to thank Michelle. She is such a lovely person always smiling, greeting everyone warmly, and going out of her way to help. Her kindness and positive attitude truly make a difference, and she always manages to put a smile on your face. Thank you, Michelle, and thank you to the entire team for making this such a great place to live.

Booked a 2-week stay at this place through Londonist and paid an additional £99 for a cleaning service. This is what I arrived to — an absolute nightmare. There were stains all over the walls, visible rust and heavy watermarks around the shower area, and the worst part was the sink, which had hair and residue in it. This is not a matter of “different standards” — it was objectively unhygienic. Very disappointing experience overall, both in terms of the condition of the room and how the situation was handled afterward. I arrived in the evening, had a mental breakdown seeing this, and left the following morning after I was able to find another place. Worst experience I’ve ever had.

Hakuna

2.0

Avoid this place if you value your sleep, safety, or basic living standards. It is unbelievably noisy here, especially late at night and in the early hours of the morning. Large groups of people, including people who do not even live in the building, regularly hang around in the courtyard, shouting, laughing and playing music from around 10 pm until 4 or 5 am. The windows provide almost no sound insulation, and the staff do absolutely nothing about it. You simply cannot get a decent night’s sleep here, any day of the week. The reception staff are rude and completely irresponsible. You can never find them during their supposed working hours. Every time I went to reception, I had to wait for more than half an hour before someone finally appeared, only to impatiently tell me to call them instead. Then when you call, they say they are on a break. It is honestly ridiculous. This is not a safe or reliable student accommodation. Management does not seem to care whether residents bring in non-residents, and there are often groups of outsiders gathering in the courtyard in the middle of the night, making noise and playing music because they have nowhere else to go. I have even seen four or five people sharing a single ensuite room. The staff never deal with any of this. The building is overcrowded, chaotic and unbearably noisy. The facilities are also old and poorly maintained. the water has come out green, with visible particles in it🤢. The hot water has never worked properly. Management keeps saying it is being repaired, but there is either no hot water at all or the water pressure is so weak that you cannot even shower properly.
