Everything about Chapter Spitalfields

• •Safety. Spitalfields sits on the edge of the City with heavy footfall, extensive CCTV and a strong security presence around the financial district. Pickpocketing around the markets is the realistic risk, not violent crime.
• •Green space. This is the weak point. Elder Gardens and the small squares near Bishopsgate are all you get locally. Weavers Fields and Shoreditch Park are ten to fifteen minutes away for anything larger.
• •Who's around. A striking mix of City workers by day, students from four nearby campuses, and the Bangladeshi and Bengali communities that have shaped Brick Lane for decades.
• •What's around. Old Spitalfields Market is 190 metres away, Petticoat Lane Market is a few minutes further, and Brick Lane's curry houses and bagel shops run late into the night.
• •Noise. The City is quiet on Sunday and loud on Thursday and Friday. Higher floors are meaningfully quieter, which is one benefit of a 33 storey building.
• •Transport. Liverpool Street, Aldgate, Aldgate East and Moorgate are all within a kilometre, giving you five Tube lines, the Elizabeth line and mainline rail without ever needing a bus.

Supermarkets

• •Tesco Express, roughly 8 minutes on foot
• •Marks and Spencer Simply Food and Waitrose around Liverpool Street and the City
• •Old Spitalfields Market for fresh produce, cheese and prepared food, 3 minutes away

Markets and cheap eats

• •Old Spitalfields Market and Spitalfields Arts Market, both under 200 metres
• •Brick Lane for curry houses, salt beef bagels and 24 hour bakeries, roughly seven minutes
• •Petticoat Lane Market for clothes, household basics and cheap lunches

Cafés students actually use

• •The building's own coffee bar, which most residents default to
• •Rich Mix and the independents around Shoreditch High Street, roughly ten minutes
• •Monmouth Coffee Company for a proper weekend study session, a short walk south

Libraries

• •The 33rd floor library inside the building, open 24 hours, with skyline views
• •Barbican Library, roughly fifteen minutes on foot, free and quiet
• •Campus libraries at Coventry, Newcastle and Northumbria London for enrolled students

Gyms and sport

Day one

• •Complete check in at the front desk and collect your key card in person. Nobody else may collect it on your behalf.
• •If you arrive outside working hours, notify the building in advance so check in can be arranged.
• •Photograph the room condition and email the images to the site team the same day.
• •Test heating, hot water, sockets and Wi-Fi, then log any faults immediately.

Day two

• •Register with a local GP and collect your student status letter for council tax exemption.
• •Sort your UK bank account and mobile SIM.
• •Explore the building properly. The 32nd and 33rd floors are the reason you booked, so use them.
• •Walk to campus once, find Old Spitalfields Market, and introduce yourself to people in the ground floor bar.

• •Total cost. Apartment rooms from around £469 a week, studios from around £498 and ensuites from around £592. A 44 week studio contract lands near £21,900.
• •What's included. All bills, Wi-Fi and contents insurance are bundled into the weekly rent, along with free bi-weekly room cleaning.
• •Instalments. Rent is paid in scheduled instalments, primarily by bank transfer, direct debit or recurring payment. Stripe and Transfer Mate may be used to process payments.
• •Deposit. A holding payment secures the room. A damage deposit may also apply and is returned at the end of the tenancy, minus deductions for unpaid rent or room condition.
• •Cooling off. Three days from the date of the Reservation Agreement. Cancel inside it and the holding payment is refunded in full. After it, the holding payment is retained.
• •No Visa No Pay. A refused student visa, supported by official documentation from the visa authority or embassy, releases you from the agreement.
• •No Place No Pay. Failing to achieve the grades required for your 2026/27 place, evidenced through UCAS or the university, also releases you.
• •Leaving early. Replacement tenant requests are not accepted after 1 June, and a non refundable £50 administration fee applies to any approved room move or tenancy transfer. The cancellation policy complies with the ANUK/Unipol National Code.

What you should know before your child signs

• •The tenancy runs for the full term, usually 44 to 51 weeks, and rent remains payable for the whole period unless cancellation criteria are met.
• •The three day cooling off period is the only unconditional exit, and it begins on the date the Reservation Agreement is signed.
• •Replacement tenant requests are not accepted after 1 June, so late exits become extremely difficult in the summer term.
• •A non refundable £50 administration fee applies to any approved room move or transfer of the tenancy.
• •All bills, Wi-Fi and contents insurance are included, so the weekly rate closely reflects the real cost of living there.
• •The cancellation policy complies with the ANUK/Unipol National Code, the recognised standard for purpose built student accommodation.
• •Key cards can only be collected by the resident in person, which is a deliberate and sensible security measure in a building this size.

• •Arrival. Liverpool Street is a four minute walk and connects directly to Heathrow via the Elizabeth line and to Stansted via mainline rail, so arriving with luggage is straightforward. Notify the building in advance if you land outside working hours so check in can be arranged.
• •No UK guarantor. Guarantor free payment plans are available and mean paying a larger share of the rent up front. Payment can be made by bank transfer, direct debit or recurring payment, and Stripe or Transfer Mate may be used to process it.
• •Visa safety net. No Visa No Pay applies if your student visa is refused. Send official documentation from UCAS, the visa authority or an embassy to the site team, and you will be released from the tenancy agreement without further liability.
• •Setup. Collect your key card yourself with your passport, as it cannot be collected by anyone else for security reasons. Full time students are exempt from council tax, so bring proof of student status to the front desk to register that exemption.
• •Home food. Brick Lane, Whitechapel and Commercial Street cover Bangladeshi, Indian, Pakistani, Turkish, Chinese and Caribbean groceries and halal butchers, all within fifteen minutes on foot. Chinatown is a fifteen minute Tube ride for anything else.
