Finsbury Park is one of the most popular areas for UCL postgraduate students, and it is easy to see why. The Victoria line from Finsbury Park station reaches King's Cross St Pancras in around 10 minutes, from where it is an 8-minute walk to UCL's main Bloomsbury campus. The total door-to-door commute is typically 22–28 minutes, which is competitive with many Zone 1 areas at a significantly lower rent. Rooms in shared houses and flats in Finsbury Park typically cost between £850 and £1,150 per month, compared to £1,100–£1,500 in areas like Bloomsbury or Islington. The area has a lively high street with good supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants, and the large Finsbury Park itself provides green space for running and outdoor study breaks.
