I mean... the location is amazing. Opposite London Bridge station, connected to the northern and jubilee line and tons of buses. 40 minute walk from anywhere good. And the price is amazing for somewhere in london, literally nearly £100 cheaper than the next price up. But that is also very obvious in the building's condition and size. A common room in which next to no one uses. Four washers, four dryers, 3 elevators for 300 people. Each floor has 18 people, split into 14 and 4, with one kitchen for each side. The 14 side has 2.5 fridges, 0.5 fridge and a tiny table with 4 chairs around it. No room for being together. 3 bathrooms and 3 showers. The beds are 3/4 beds and pretty tiny rooms. My side of the flat doesnt even have a window in the corridors, so when the lights are out you literally cant see in front of your face. So Wolfson is really good for someone who wants to spend little money and also little time at home. But if youre looking for close knit friendships within your flat and space to hang out together then youre out of luck.

Fantastic location in central London, especially if you're situated on Guy's campus, as Wolfson House it basically attached to my main lecture theatre (Greenwood). Room is nice and has enough space, but facilities such as the showers, room sink and kitchen can vary in quality. One of my sink taps stopped working for a week and the kitchen sinks get blocked every now and then, but could be to do with people misusing the kitchen. Given that there are 14 people per floor, even the kitchen can be a fun place just to hang out but when it comes to rush-hour for eating, there is only space on the kitchen table for 5, so I often find myself eating in my room. the common room on ground floor is hardly used which is a shame. You also have to use Eduroam as your wifi, which isn't awful but could be better. Overall, one of the cheapest out of King's halls so can't complain and it's biggest strength is the location - I can set off 5 mins before the start of anything on campus.

Social environment living with 13 people and 1 very small kitchen but everything breaks and security aren’t friendly

The location is brilliant and makes up for the old building, dirty kitchens and cramped shared bathrooms. It's all worth being so close to the river, borough market and so central. Thanks

Great location in central London and very close to Guys campus. Very small kitchen for so many students and a lack of shower rooms.
