Program Details

Accommodation for Nepali Students at LSE

Finding the right place to live in London is always one of the biggest concerns for Nepali families.

The good news is that King’s guarantees accommodation for first-year undergraduates and offers several safe, well-managed options for postgraduates too.

Beyond university halls, many students also explore private housing across London.

Here are the main choices:

King’s Residences (University Halls)
These are managed directly by King’s and are popular with first-year students.

They’re fully furnished, include internet, and often come with common spaces where you can meet other international students.

Intercollegiate Halls (University of London)
Shared halls with students from other London universities.

They’re centrally located and often include meals, making them a convenient option for new students.

Private Shared Flats
Many Nepali students choose this option after their first year.

It’s more independent and often cheaper if you share with friends.

Areas like Stratford, Wembley, or East Ham are popular among South Asian students for affordability.

Homestays
Some students prefer staying with British families in the first year.

This helps with cultural adjustment and can be a supportive environment, though less common.

Goreto can help you compare costs, apply for King’s residences, and even connect with other Nepali students to find flatmates.

Approximate Housing Costs

Exchange rate: £1 ≈ NPR 170.
