About this property
Listen up, because trying to find affordable, high-quality accommodation in London that isn't a 90-minute commute is basically a myth—unless you’re talking about The Lyra student accommodation London. Situated in the super-connected North Acton area, this place is the answer to the classic London student struggle. Forget settling for dingy digs; The Lyra is pure modern luxury designed for students who demand the best without paying Zone 1 prices.
The location is the ultimate mic drop. You are situated right on the border of Zones 2 and 3, which is the perfect strategic spot. How connected are you? The North Acton tube station 1 minute walk away—literally seconds from your door. Hop on the Central Line, and you're in the heart of Central London (like Oxford Circus) in about 20 minutes, making this an ideal base for students at UCL, LSE, and UAL. This incredible transport link is what makes The Lyra one of the best choices for affordable London student flats that still keep you connected to the academic and social action.
The property focuses entirely on self-contained living, offering a massive array of spacious, high-spec student studios West London Zone 2. Every single room, from the Bronze Studio to the epic Diamond Studio, comes with its own private en-suite bathroom, a fully fitted kitchenette (no more fighting for stove space!), a dedicated study area, and a Smart TV. This is the definition of independent living, giving you the space you need to focus, relax, and generally crush your degree.
And let’s talk money, because London is expensive. Your rent at The Lyra is completely fixed and covers true all-inclusive student living London. That means one stress-free payment covers all utility bills (electricity, water, heating), contents insurance, and super-fast Wi-Fi. No unexpected costs, no flatmate arguments over the gas bill—just simple, premium living. With the competitive pricing for a Zone 2 property, The Lyra offers some of the best value among affordable London student flats for the quality and space provided.
Life inside The Lyra student accommodation London is a perfectly curated blend of effortless connectivity, high-end amenities, and a chilled-out atmosphere, all set up for smooth student living in student studios West London Zone 2.

Never never live here!!!! Since I move in the ac is always never working because remote control is died I have send email to them for over ten times they never try to fix it and the worst thing is there is no window in the room so even is winter there is still 28degree Celsius in the room. And even it is fix, you cannot turn on or turn off the ac by your self. They'll only tell you it's central air conditioning and everyone has the same thing! But that's not true at all! They just don't want to deal with you. Worst of all, they run the AC in winter and heat in summer. When they crank the heat in summer, the room gets so stuffy you can barely breathe. They don't treat residents like human beings at all! Don't even think about staying in this hellhole—not for all the money in the world.

I have found that this flat has received a lot of negative reviews this year, but the problems were all in Block A. I am still living in Block B, and I hope that those of you who are reading reviews and hesitating to choose this flat can trust me that the facilities in Block B are fantastic. The air conditioning works great, it's cool in the summer, the large window gets great light, and the bed is a great size. The lift in Block B is always available. the price for 2022 is also very reasonable (compared to the city centre). Convenient transport (central line is downstairs) can take me to the city centre for classes very quickly. But this year it seems like the price has gone up very fast. Besides, the receptionist in Block A are really nice and I am very glad to meet you.

The lift is always broken. It will (has been currently) be broken for MONTHS, then they "fix it", it works for a couple weeks at most, then it breaks again. The washing machines are often out of order too. It makes life very hard if you have any type of injury or illness whatsoever. Oh and the main doors tend to break too. If you try to complain, they will deny any responsibility and say you shouldn't expect the lift to work because it's not in the contract, although that's what is advertised and often what you're shown before you move in. There's also never anyone at reception at night, at least now for the two or more same nights each week. This is a concern because if you were to call an ambulance or needed to get in, no one is there. You have no control over the heating whatsoever, it never works properly, and it just blows out DUST. Severely affected my asthma, so don't move here if you have asthma. I have to wake up at 6am every morning, which is when it comes on, to switch it off. It's ridiculous. Oh and also the fire alarms go off all the time, including in the middle of the night. The good reviews are likely about block B. You'll likely be living in block A. If you end up in block A, good luck to you and I hope you don't have any injury ever because it makes life hell. Currently ALL DRYERS AND ALL WASHING MACHINES DO NOT WORK!!!! FOR A WEEK!!!!

A great location with connections to the central line straight outside the building. The staff and the reception team are always friendly and will be more than happy to help you if you have any problems. The rooms themselves are a good size with good storage for food/clothes/books. They also come with a decent sized TV and a good area to work. The only drawback is that my room doesn't have a window that can be opened, however the filter and air con system is good so it isn't too much of an issue.
