Housing

Students taking part in this undergraduate study abroad semester are required to live in housing arranged by Bayswater London. Accommodation is only open to students enrolled in one of Bayswater London’s study abroad programs based at our study centre in Queensway.

Student accommodation in London follows an apartment style model with accommodation options located in residential areas of central London, all within an approximate 30-minute commute to the study centre. The accommodation options are centrally located, meaning that they are well connected for exploring our great city. The housing is overseen by our Bayswater London team, while the day-to-day management is the responsibility of our specialist housing partners.

Students share twin or triple bedrooms and then share living areas with additional flatmates. Please note that some rooms may have bunk beds. Apartments include at least one bathroom, a living space with couches, television and dining table, and a generous-sized kitchen. All apartments have wireless internet access. The kitchen includes a refrigerator, a washer-dryer, the usual appliances like a toaster, microwave, and kettle, as well as pots, pans, plates, bowls, cutlery, glasses, and mugs.

Each week, a cleaning service is provided for the communal areas in each apartment. Bed linen and towels are provided, and the sheets are switched once per week. Students launder their own towels and duvet cover. (In British beds it is normal to only have a fitted sheet and a duvet, and this is the situation at our accommodation.)

Note: Bayswater London housing options can vary from semester to semester depending on availability and study abroad enrolment. Students may often need to make use of public transport to reach the Study Centre.

Student Life in London

Orientation

The London experience begins with a comprehensive orientation that acquaints you with health, housing, travel, academic, and safety information. Following Orientation, Bayswater London organizes a series of activities as part of Welcome Weekend (your first weekend in London) and these activities may include small group walking tours of London as well as events for the wider student group, such as a boat cruise or bowling night. Program costs typically include co-curricular activities in and around the city of London.

Excursions and Activities

The Bayswater London team prepare a program of optional social events, field trips and excursions to immerse yourself in the UK’s culture and historical heritage. Excursions may include:

  • Joining guided tours of London and appreciate the diverse and multicultural nature of the city in with a street art tour of Brick Lane or a food tour of Brixton.
  • Investigating the legacies of slavery with a visit to the Museum of London or the Bank of England.
  • A visit to Oxford or Cambridge with walking tours through some of their famous colleges, followed by punt along the river.
  • Visit one of the greatest botanical collections in at the world at Kew Gardens, and research their work in sustainable agriculture and conservation.
  • Exploring the Wellcome Collection, which charts the study of the evolutionary, historical, social, and institutional contexts of human development.
  • Touring London’s world-class art galleries, from the Wallace Collection, with its world class collection of Old Masters, to Tate Modern where you can see art by international contemporary artists.

You can expect to receive your social calendar in advance of your study abroad semester so you can plan your travel in advance. In addition to these programs Bayswater London will offer an almost daily range of afternoon and weekend activities, many of which are free of charge. Past activities include bingo nights, soccer matches, dance classes and gallery tours.
