Haywood House will also feature our award-winning student support system including Resident Assistants (RAs) and Resident Directors (RDs). The Residence Life team, who are student staff living in the same accommodation, know the University and London well so are excellent resources in the first weeks of term.

Alternative student accommodation providers

There are many student accommodation companies in London. Facilities are varied, but they offer an opportunity to live in accommodation with other international students around the city centre. Richmond’s semesters start earlier than most UK universities, and finish in early May– so be sure to check they can house you from your start date, and that your contract does not run too late into the summer (unless you plan to stay in London).
