Student Housing
The school offers alternative accommodations in student housing, which is located on the same grounds as the school. You live in a single room (double room upon request) with a private bathroom; but you share the community kitchen. However, you may also book breakfast and dinner in the school cantine.
You live in the same housing as the students from Greenwich University and there is a 24-hour security service. The rooms are cleaned and the bed linens are changed once a week (you must bring your own towels). These residents are known for their good standards and are open to anyone over the age of 16. In the area, there is a laundromat, as well as a computer with internet connections (both for an additional fee).

leisure time

Greenwich is famous for its many markets, where you can find almost anything imaginable. There are second-hand clothes, old vinyl records from the 50's, 60's and 70's as well as all kinds of knickknacks. There are also modern shops and shopping centers, restaurants, museums and theaters in this area, which are popular with both the local people and the tourists alike.
Not far from the school is Greenwich Park. On these grounds, you have a fantastic view of the center of London. With the Docklands Light Railway, which is part of the subway system of the city, you can be in the center of London and enjoy all of the free-time possibilities it has to offer in approximately 20 minutes.
