Welcoming residence in Tottenham

The unexpected expanse of marshland and water just a short walk from North Lodge is a haven for wildlife and frazzled locals alike. When you’ve had your fill of nature, get a culture fix at the nearby Bernie Grant Arts Centre. Make a pilgrimage to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club before hopping on the fast connection to central London - less than 15 minutes! Or just 6 minutes by train to Hackney - the incredible nightlife of Dalston and the rest of east London is your playground too. North Lodge is within five minutes from Tottenham Hale tube and a fast Victoria line connection to central London, which will whisk you to UCL, UAL, the University of Westminster and SOAS in less than 15 minutes. The world-famous shopping of Oxford Street is just 16 minutes on the same line, as well as the national transport hubs of Kings Cross and Victoria - making a trip to another city, or to the beautiful English countryside, simple. Hogmanay in Edinburgh anyone? There’s a social vibe in the area, with lots of students taking advantage of this great value location -  Emily Bowes Court is right next door. So invite friends over to hang out and watch TV in the relaxed common room with plush sofas and bean bags. A pleasant outside courtyard beckons in warmer weather. If you’re really trying to impress, get out your cookbook and whip up a slap-up meal while your friends relax on the sofa in the shared kitchen areas. Studio flats are also available for those who fancy a little bit more independence. Secure door entry and CCTV cameras will reassure you 24/7, and there’s also bike storage. When you need to find the best takeaway in the area (you can’t cook all the time) or need any help at all, on-site customer service is ***** fitness fanatics, a nearby gym offers cheap membership rates for all-day access. Grab supplies afterward at one of the handy supermarkets in the area before dashing home to change for a night out at a nearby bar, or perhaps popping into central London for some culture.
