Bermondsey is a popular choice for LSE postgraduate students who want to live in a vibrant, well-connected area without paying Zone 1 rents. The Jubilee line from Bermondsey reaches Southwark in two stops (around 5 minutes), from where it is a 10-minute walk to LSE's Houghton Street campus. The total commute is typically 18–25 minutes. Many LSE students choose Bermondsey specifically for the Bermondsey Street food and arts scene, which provides a good balance of work and social life. The area is also popular with young professionals from the City and Canary Wharf, which means the social mix is similar to the post-graduation environment that many LSE students are aiming for.
