Accommodation image

UWL does not operate large on-campus halls itself; students typically use nearby purpose-built student accommodation such as Chapter Ealing (from around £267/week for 44-51 week contracts, per the provider's own 2026/27 pricing) or The Cube Ealing (from around £265/week), both a short walk from the St Mary's Road campus. Private shared housing in Ealing/west London more broadly runs from roughly £175-£450/week depending on room type and building age; confirm current rates directly with the university's accommodation office before booking.
Daily living support image

Ealing has an established South Asian and East African community, giving reasonable access to halal butchers, South Asian grocers and international restaurants around Ealing Broadway and Southall (a short bus or train ride away, and one of London's best-known South Asian food districts). On-campus catering runs at the Ealing site; Brentford and Reading students have more limited immediate options and typically rely on nearby high streets.
Safety and support image
Image placeholder
The university's International Student Support team and campus security operate across the Ealing, Brentford and Reading sites; Ealing itself is a residential outer-London borough with crime levels broadly typical for suburban London. Students are advised to take routine precautions on public transport and around Ealing Broadway at night, and to register with the university's welfare and security services on arrival. An International Student Support team assists with visa guidance, banking and settling in, alongside academic skills support and careers services. Nursing, midwifery and other placement-based students must complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and occupational health screening before starting supervised NHS placements.
