Accommodation for Clearing Applicants
We reserve a significant number of places for our applicants who join us through clearing.
If you are an international or EU student, we can guarantee you accommodation in a Queen Mary hall of residence or with a partner provider. For students from the UK, we allocate rooms on a random ballot system to applicants who submit their online housing application by Wednesday 19 August.
I loved living in halls. I was with a range of students – some were international, some were home, everyone was doing different courses.— Talhah Atcha, President of the Students' Union
Your home in London
London is an incredible city to live in, and your time here will give you plenty of opportunities to explore. Getting
around has never been easier, and our two largest campuses, Mile End and Whitechapel, are well connected to the rest of the city, UK, and further afield.
Living in Queen Mary accommodation gives you the opportunity to study and socialise with students from all over the world. Many people will be away from home for the first time, and you’ll enjoy the adventure together as part of the Queen Mary community.
Our largest campus, in Mile End, is one of the largest self-contained campuses in London. Located alongside the historic Regent’s Canal, it has everything you need to live, study and socialise, from cafes, bars and a nightclub to a 24-hour library, computer labs and sports facilities. We also have campuses at Whitechapel, Charterhouse Square and West Smithfield for medicine and dentistry students. When you live on or near our campuses, you’ll be just minutes from your classes and the social hub of Queen Mary.

These include almost 2,250 rooms in self-catering residences on or near the Mile End campus, 360 rooms for Medicine and Dentistry students, in Whitechapel and the City of London, 26 rooms adapted for students with mobility impairments (12 specifically for wheelchair users and 18 rooms adapted for deaf or hard-of-hearing students.
