Postgraduate Student Accommodation in London

Renting Flats and Rooms to International Students with Ease

We have over 60 years experience of renting rooms, studios and flats to international students. Zebra provides rooms with cooking facilities, self-contained studios and flats for international students.

Zebra has over 60 years of experience providing housing and support services for international students and their families. Whether you are single, in a  couple or have a family, if you are in full-time post-graduate education at a recognised London university, we have student accommodation. Our student flats, studios, and rooms are centrally located and reasonably priced. All our student accommodation is situated within Zones 1 & 2, most of it is in culturally renowned locations, close to wonderful London parks and squares in safe and friendly locations.

Zebra is unique amongst student housing providers because we are a “not-for-profit” values-driven organisation. We provide international and UK students in London with affordable student accommodation and responsive support. We advocate tolerance, understanding and internationalism and believe we can promote this by enabling people from anywhere in the world to study and live in great locations in London.

We specialise in providing postgraduate international student housing, which means that we understand the particular needs of older students, particularly international students, the pressures they are under, and the home environment they are looking for. We also know how difficult it is to find suitable student accommodation in London, where there is a lot of student housing, but much of it is not necessarily suitable. And any profit we make is re-invested in our buildings and services.

Flats Available

Frequently asked questions

We specialise in postgraduate housing primarily for international students but we now also house UK students too. So you need to be a post graduate student in full-time education at a London university in order to apply

Our student accommodation is in Zones 1 & 2 of London. Jerome House is located  in South Kensington. Jeannine House is located the Marylebone and Baker Street area. Impala House is located in the Primrose Hill/Camden area. Sentosa House is located in the Angel Islington and Anson & Carleton are situated in the Tufnell Park/ Islington area. All of it is close to the tube and good transport links. Some is extremely close to certain universities and so an easy walk. Where we are able we try to provide somewhere to keep a bike securely.

We are very fortunate (as are our residents) because our student flats are situated in safe, secure, and family friendly locations with parks and green open space close by. Most of our buildings were bequeathed to us by the original founders and benefactors of Zebra and they are in some of the most expensive and chic areas of London. You’ll be surprised by who some of your neighbours are.

And because the locations are pretty central they are great for exploring the city and enjoying it as Londoners do. There are almost unequalled opportunities to sample a brilliantly diverse cultural and culinary local environment. Even the local shops and markets will amaze you. There are very nice farmers markets close by Jerome House, South Kensington and Anson/Carleton, Tufnell Park, Islington. There’s also an old-fashioned street market at Sentosa, Angel, Islington. But there are also “normal” supermarkets for everyday shopping close to all our locations.

Zebra prides itself on the quality of the homes we offer when renting rooms to international students. Most of it is within buildings that are between 100 and 200 years old. So it’s stylish and sometimes quirky because it’s been converted into student flats over the last 60 years. There are often high ceilings and large window. You’ll be pleased to know that the heating cost is included in your rent. But we’ve also got some student flats which we’ve built over the last 10 years and these are modern light and airy – and again stylish – they were nominated for an architectural award. You’ll be able to see photographs and floor plans of our flats when they are offered to you.

Every building has its own laundry and the charge is quite a lot less than commercial laundries.

All our rents include water, heating and broadband. Some also include electricity – we’ll let you know where this applies.

Unlike most student housing providers we allow you to stay for as long as you are in full time education – this can be for a few years. We also allow you to give one month’s notice at any time if you want to leave.

Three of our five building have small private, shared (with other residents)  gardens. But every building is close to a park. Jerome House is close to a whole series of interconnected parks which run from Kensington Gardens to Hyde Park. Jeannine House is close to Regents Park, which is home to an open air theatre and the London Zoo as is Impala House. It’s said that you can hear the trumpeting of elephants from Impala House. Impala is very near to Primrose Hill with amazing views over London. There is very nice children’s play park adjacent to Anson and Carleton House.

A contractor cleans all communal areas, staircases, hallways lobbies and shared bathrooms and WCs. Whilst we clean your flat before you move in you are responsible for cleaning it whilst you live there. Vacuum cleaners are available to borrow in every building.
