Finsbury Park is a less obvious choice for KCL postgraduate students, but it works well for those based primarily at the Strand campus. The commute takes around 32–38 minutes via the Victoria line to Stockwell and then the Northern line to London Bridge, or via the Piccadilly line to King's Cross and then the Thameslink to London Bridge. The rent savings compared to living in Bermondsey or Elephant & Castle are modest (typically £50–£150/mo), but Finsbury Park offers a livelier social scene and more diverse food options. Students based at the Denmark Hill or Guy's campuses will generally find south London areas more practical.

Finsbury Park is further from KCL's Strand and Guy's campuses than south London options, but the rent savings can be significant.
