The rooms and prices
Emily Bowes Court offers a genuine choice between en-suite rooms, sharing a flat of typically 6 to 8 students, and self-contained studios for full independence. Every room comes with a comfortable bed, study desk and chair, wardrobe, bedside table, and a modern en-suite bathroom with a shower, toilet, washbasin and mirror, plus an iron and ironing board and generous under-bed storage. En-suite rooms suit students who want privacy alongside a shared kitchen and social flat, while studios include a private kitchen for those who prefer full independence. Rent is all-inclusive, covering Wi-Fi, water, electricity, heating and gas, so there are no separate utility bills to manage. Prices vary by room type and the letting season, so confirm current rates at booking, and Unite Students has run group-booking incentives (such as a voucher for groups of four or more) for the 2026/27 academic year.
Location and getting around
Emily Bowes Court’s Tottenham Hale location is the standout feature: the Underground and rail station is just 2 minutes’ walk, and the Victoria Line gets you to King’s Cross St Pancras in around 10 minutes, with Finsbury Park, Oxford Circus and Victoria all directly connected too, making central London genuinely close despite the Zone 3 address. The surrounding area functions as a real, sustainable urban village, with a medical centre, a bakery, a Tesco Express, a Lidl, a gym and plenty of green space right on the doorstep, including Tottenham Hale Retail Park and the River Lee. Down Lane Park and Tottenham Marshes offer nearby nature, and Stansted Airport is easily reachable from the same station for international students. My tip: Emily Bowes Court is a strong choice if you want a genuine community feel and excellent value for a fast, direct Tube connection into central London, rather than paying a premium to live right in Zone 1.
Amenities
Emily Bowes Court has a substantial amenity set, including a recent common area upgrade for 2026:
- Large, recently upgraded common room with a pool table, foosball and plenty of seating, including a table for group work
- Dedicated study area with individual booths for focused work
- Expansive green courtyard with table tennis tables and seating
- Cinema room for social and movie nights
- Laundry facilities, vending machines and bike storage

The honest picture
Emily Bowes Court’s strengths are genuinely excellent transport (2 minutes from the Tube, 10 minutes to King’s Cross), a real community atmosphere with a sister property and neighbourhood amenities, all-inclusive billing, and a recently upgraded common room for 2026. Residents consistently praise the convenience, nearby supermarkets, and value for money. The honest counterpoint: it is in Zone 3, north London, so if your course is at a south or west London campus, factor in a longer commute, and room allocation at booking is initially random, though the team will try to accommodate flatmate preferences where possible. As always, confirm your specific room type and current price.
Who Emily Bowes Court suits
Strong fit: students at UCL, UAL, SOAS, Westminster, KCL or London Met who want fast, direct Tube access and genuine community value; students who want all-inclusive bills and a large, well-amenitied common room; those who prioritise value over a Zone 1 address.
Weaker fit: students who want to walk to a south or west London campus; those who want a small, quiet building rather than a 693-resident community.
