Student Accommodation in Greenwich

Student housing in Greenwich

Finding student housing in Greenwich means trading the usual London scramble for a part of the city that still feels like its own town. You've got a working market, a royal park on the hill, and the Thames doing its thing along the bottom edge, all inside easy reach of the University of Greenwich campus. Housr lets you filter by price, bedroom count, and property type so you can see what's actually available here without the endless scrolling.

What's around Greenwich

Greenwich Market sits at the centre of things, a covered market running most days with street food stalls (Japanese buns, seafood, the lot) alongside vintage clothing and handmade jewellery. It's the obvious spot to grab lunch between lectures or meet housemates before a night out.

The big landmarks are all within walking distance of each other. Cutty Sark is the restored Victorian tea clipper you'll recognise from every postcard of the area, and you can climb the rigging or get tea under the hull. Up the hill in Greenwich Park, the Royal Observatory marks the Prime Meridian Line, where you can stand with one foot in each hemisphere for the photo everyone takes exactly once. The park itself is London's oldest royal park, and the walk up to the observatory gets you a proper view over Canary Wharf and the O2.

For a night out that isn't a chain pub, the Old Royal Naval College grounds (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) are worth a wander even after dark, and Trafalgar Tavern does a solid riverside pint with the lights on the water. Goddard's has been serving pie and mash since long before any current student was born. Up The Creek, just off Creek Road, runs regular stand-up comedy nights if you want something other than another pub crawl.

Getting around

Cutty Sark DLR station is the one to know. It runs on the line between Bank and Lewisham, with trains roughly every few minutes at peak times, and it puts you about eight minutes' walk from the university's Greenwich campus. If you'd rather take the train, Greenwich station (nine minutes to campus) and Maze Hill station (eight minutes) both run National Rail services into London Bridge and Cannon Street. Buses 129, 177, and 386 stop right by Greenwich station and the National Maritime Museum, with the 188 and 286 covering the edges of campus too. There's also a Thames Clipper service from Greenwich Pier if you fancy getting to central London by boat instead of standing on a platform.

Universities near Greenwich

The University of Greenwich is the obvious one here. Its main campus sits inside the Old Royal Naval College buildings, so you're studying in a genuine UNESCO World Heritage Site rather than a standard-issue lecture block. Students heading to the university's other London campuses will still find that student housing in Greenwich makes a workable base, thanks to the DLR and rail links above.

Accommodation in Greenwich

Student accommodation in Greenwich runs from shared houses to studios and single rooms. Housr's filters let you narrow it down by weekly price, bedroom count, and bathroom count, and you can switch between list, tile, and interactive map views to see exactly where a property sits relative to campus, the market, and the DLR station. Prefer a shared setup? Student houses in Greenwich tend to sit within a short walk or DLR hop of the stations covered above, so put a shortlist on the map view and check the walk time to campus before you book a viewing.
