Student Room in Bloomsbury | Available from 22 May / Flexible June Start | Bills Included | Full-Time UK University Students Eligible
Official University of London student room takeover available from 22 May 2026, with flexibility on the exact move-in date in June — ideal for summer interns, dissertation students, visiting researchers, summer course students, or students needing short-term central London accommodation.
Hi everyone,
I am looking for a suitable replacement student to take over my room at Handel Mansions, University of London Intercollegiate Halls, located in Bloomsbury, central London.
The room is available from 22 May 2026 in the afternoon, but I can be flexible with the exact start date if you are looking to move in during June. The contract would end on 29 August 2026.
This could be ideal for someone looking for short-term student accommodation in central London over the summer, for example for an internship, dissertation period, summer course, research stay, or temporary stay before moving elsewhere.
It is a Medium Single Shared room in a self-catered flat with a shared kitchen and bathroom. The room is fully furnished with a small double bed, mattress, desk, desk chair, desk lamp, wardrobe, shelves, drawers, curtains and Wi-Fi.
Key advantages:
* University-managed accommodation
* Bills and Wi-Fi included
* Fully furnished single room
* Flexible move-in date from late May / June
* Contract until 29 August 2026
* Self-catered flat
* Shared kitchen and bathroom
* Central London location in Bloomsbury
* Suitable for students looking for a secure and straightforward move-in option in London
Details:
* Available from: 22 May 2026, with flexibility for a June move-in
* Contract end date: 29 August 2026
* Rent: £277.06 per week, approximately £1,200 per month
* Room type: Medium Single Shared
* Self-catered
* Shared kitchen and bathroom
* University-managed accommodation
The flat is currently shared by three male students. However, one of the other flatmates is expected to move out in early June, and the next replacement student may be female. Female students are also very welcome to enquire.
The shared kitchen includes a cooker, oven, washing machine/tumble dryer, microwave, kettle, fridge-freezer and cupboards. The bathroom includes a sink, bathtub with shower curtain, mirror and toilet.
Please note that this would be an official replacement process through University of London Accommodation. The replacement student must be approved by the University.
The University of London Accommodation Team has confirmed that the replacement student does not have to be studying in London. They must be registered as a full-time student for the duration of the contract at a publicly funded UK university, for example the University of Manchester, the University of Bristol, or another eligible UK university.
Once a suitable replacement student is found, they will need to register on the University of London accommodation portal and upload a document confirming their student status for the current academic year so that the University can verify their eligibility.
No private contract transfer or private payment to me is involved.
I am leaving the UK, so I am hoping to find someone as soon as possible. However, if you are looking to move in during June, please still feel free to message me, as I may be able to match your preferred start date subject to University approval.
