University of Greenwich Accommodation

While many students look for accommodation in Greenwich itself, nearby areas like Deptford and Southwark often offer a better balance of connectivity, lifestyle and convenience. From Deptford, you can reach Greenwich campus in around 10 to 20 minutes via DLR, train or bus, making it an easy and reliable commute. Southwark also provides straightforward access, while placing you closer to central London.

You benefit from stronger transport links, more choice in your surroundings, and easier access to the rest of the city – all while staying within a short distance of campus. You’re closer to the action, there’s lots to do, and you’ll never be bored.

University life isn’t just about lectures – it’s about everything around them. The people with you are from both Greenwich and other universities, so you’ll always have someone to stop for a chat with.

Living just outside Greenwich gives you access to the best of both worlds. You’re close enough to enjoy the campus, riverside and surrounding area whenever you need to, but you’re also based in neighbourhoods that offer more variety day to day
