Living in Camden as a UCL Postgrad

Camden is one of the most popular areas for UCL postgraduate students who want to be close to campus without paying Zone 1 rents. The Northern line from Camden Town reaches Euston in two stops (around 6 minutes), from where it is a 10-minute walk to UCL's main Bloomsbury campus. The total commute is typically 18–25 minutes. Camden's iconic market, live music venues, and Regent's Canal towpath make it one of London's most distinctive places to live. Rooms in shared flats typically cost between £1,000 and £1,400 per month — higher than areas like Finsbury Park, but reflecting the area's popularity and proximity to campus. The area is particularly popular with UCL students on creative and research-intensive programmes who value the cultural environment.
