Temple is an extremely central and ancient area of London. Part of the Historical 'City of London' (just the centre of London), Temple is home to traditional barristers courts. Not a typical residential neighbourhood, Temple is a brave but rewarding choice for a prospective London student. It's on the north bank of the River Thames just a mile or so from Big Ben. Housing in Temple is very expensive. You'll be lucky to get anything under £200 a week or higher. Much higher. The area is extremely built-up, so expect to live in old Georgian or Victorian flats or a few new riverside developments, if you can even find an affordable place. Living in Temple is extremely convenient for studying at any of London's central Universities and is a short walk from: King's Collage, LSE, The London Film School, SOAS and the University of London. The area is really well connected by either bus, foot, bicycle, or tube, from staions such as: Temple (District/Circle), Covent Garden (Piccadilly), Holborn (Piccadilly/Central) and the City Thameslink Station (National Rail).
