From LSE to King's College: A Guide for Parents Buying in North London

If you're looking to buy a home with university access in mind, North London is worth considering. With several world-class universities within easy reach, the area is particularly appealing for education-focused families. Here's what you need to know about buying a place that'll work well for university life.

Getting to London's Top Universities

From The Regent in NW1, students have exceptional access to London's leading universities. The London School of Economics (LSE) is just 20 minutes away, making it ideal for economics, law, or international relations students. University College London (UCL) is even closer at just 13 minutes, while King's College London is a straightforward 22-minute journey.

For medical students, The Royal Veterinary College is particularly accessible at just 7 minutes away. Central Saint Martins, popular for art and design, is only 11 minutes from the development, and SOAS University of London is a quick 15-minute trip.

Best Areas to Buy

The Regent at Camden Goods Yard offers an excellent location for university access. Situated just 6 minutes' walk from Chalk Farm Station and 9 minutes from Camden Town Station, it puts all of central London's universities within easy reach. The development sits on an 8-acre site next to Primrose Hill and Regent's Park, offering the perfect balance of study and relaxation spaces.

The area around Camden has become a favourite with university students and their families. The Northern Line provides quick access to LSE, UCL, and King's College, with students able to reach lectures in 15-20 minutes. The development includes useful amenities like a Morrisons supermarket on site, making daily life more convenient for busy students.

What makes The Regent particularly suitable for students is its range of facilities. The development includes co-working areas with ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi, perfect for study sessions. There's also an 18-metre indoor swimming pool and gym for staying active between lectures.

Getting Around

The tube makes university commuting straightforward. From Camden Town station, you can reach:

· King's Cross St Pancras in just 10 minutes

· Oxford Circus in 20 minutes

· Bank in 18 minutes

· Waterloo in 24 minutes

The night buses are particularly good for students who stay late at the library or have evening lectures. They run regularly and cover all the main university areas, so there's always a way to get home.

Local Life and Study Spaces

The area has plenty of places where students can study outside their apartments. The Regent offers dedicated co-working spaces, but you're also just a short walk from some excellent local libraries. Regent's Park and Primrose Hill provide beautiful outdoor study spots in warmer months.

Making Your Decision

When you're house-hunting with university in mind, The Regent offers several key advantages:

· Excellent transport connections to multiple universities

· Modern apartments ranging from Manhattan to 3-bedroom homes

· High-quality on-site amenities including study spaces

· Green spaces nearby for relaxation

· Supermarket and shops within the development
