The Royal College of Art is a postgraduate-only art and design university. For students considering accommodation for study in Kensington, Aird House on Inverness Terrace is approximately 25 minutes’ walk away via Kensington Gardens. Urban Chic’s Bayswater residence sits beside Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Our Covent Garden residences are another option, approximately 30 minutes away by Tube, including walking to and from stations. When comparing student apartments near the RCA, confirm your course’s teaching location: the journey information here relates to Kensington rather than every possible study destination.
Urban Chic provides private, fully furnished serviced apartments in central London, with terms from one semester and preferential rates for full academic years. All bills, high-speed Wi-Fi and council tax are included. You do not need a UK guarantor or a UK bank account, and parents can sign and pay from abroad. Our 24-hour support is available in English, Chinese and Russian. Weekly housekeeping is optional, and airport pickup can be arranged when planning your arrival for postgraduate study.
