Overview

London is experiencing an unprecedented housing crisis. KCLSU is doing something about it.

At King’s College London, King’s Residences exist to guarantee students affordable and appropriate accommodation during the first year of study of their undergraduate degree, providing a regulated alternative to the unpredictable private rental market for students of all backgrounds and levels of study. 

But costs are increasing, and students can’t cope.

Even King’s Affordable Accommodation Scheme (KAAS) is unfit for purpose; it hasn’t adapted to keep up with inflation, meaning that students who need more help than ever, are less able to access the financial support they deserve. 

The situation is getting worse and KCLSU is stepping in, led by HF, our VP for Welfare & Community. Join us on 26 November to share your experiences of King’s Residences and living in London, and to speak up for vulnerable students.
