Student Accommodation Near Middlesex University

Student housing near Middlesex University

Middlesex University's main campus sits in Hendon, tucked into north-west London where the city starts to feel a bit more like a neighbourhood and a bit less like a postcode lottery. If you're after student housing near Middlesex University London, the search comes down to one straightforward question: how close do you want to be to Hendon, and how much of the rest of London do you want on your doorstep? Housr's filters sort that fast. Pick a studio five minutes from lectures, or a shared house further out with a lower rent, and let the map show you the trade-off.

About Middlesex University

Middlesex University, officially Middlesex University London, traces back to St Katharine's teacher training college in 1878 and went through several mergers with other north London institutions before becoming Middlesex Polytechnic in 1973. It gained full university status in 1992, and by 2013 had consolidated its various sites into the single Hendon campus that students use today, backed by more than £200 million of investment.

Around 19,000 students study at the London campus, drawn from over 140 nationalities, with teaching split across three faculties: Arts and Creative Industries (including a well-regarded film production programme), Professional and Social Sciences (business, law, health and education), and Science and Technology, home to the UK's first Cyber Factory, opened in 2017. The university holds a Silver rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework and sits 122nd out of 130 institutions in the Complete University Guide's 2027 league table, with a place in the 901–950 band of the QS World University Rankings. Notable alumni include Helen Mirren, Dermot O'Leary, Alan Carr and Deep Purple's Roger Glover.

Popular student areas near Middlesex University

Because the campus sits in one place rather than scattered across the city, most students end up looking at properties in and around Hendon itself. It's a mix of family homes, converted houses and purpose-built blocks, close enough to campus that a lecture at 9am doesn't mean setting an alarm for dawn, and quiet enough in the evenings that revising for a deadline actually happens. Browse student accommodation in Hendon to see what's currently listed, or widen the search to the rest of the capital via the London student accommodation hub if you'd rather trade a longer commute for a different part of the city.

Getting to campus

Hendon Central Underground station, on the Northern line, is roughly a 10-minute walk from campus and puts central London under 30 minutes away. Hendon's Thameslink rail station is about the same distance on foot, useful if your course, job or social life pulls you further out toward St Pancras or south of the river. Drivers get easy access to the North Circular and the A41, though most students find they don't need a car once they've worked out their tube routine.

Accommodation near Middlesex University

Housr's filters let you narrow the search by weekly price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether you want a single room, a studio or a full shared house. If you're weighing up Middlesex University London accommodation options, it's worth deciding early whether you want your own bathroom, how many housemates you're comfortable with, and how far you're willing to travel before rent starts feeling like the better deal. Switch between list view, tile view or the interactive map to see exactly where each property sits relative to Hendon Central and the campus itself, and send a request for more information or book a viewing straight from the listing.
