Bermondsey is arguably the best-positioned area for KCL postgraduate students. The Jubilee line from Bermondsey station reaches London Bridge in just one stop (around 3 minutes), from where it is a 10-minute walk to KCL's Strand campus or a 5-minute walk to Guy's campus. The total commute is typically 12–18 minutes door-to-door. Bermondsey has undergone significant regeneration over the past decade, and the area now has an excellent selection of independent restaurants, cafés, and bars — particularly along Bermondsey Street. Rooms in shared flats typically cost between £950 and £1,300 per month, which is higher than areas like Elephant & Castle or Whitechapel, but reflects the area's popularity and quality of life.
