Student Accommodation in Hackney FAQ's

Best Student Halls lists student accommodation in London near Hackney. Find answers about weekly rent, purpose built student properties, council tax for students in Hackney and living near Hackney Wick.

How much should I budget for student accommodation near Hackney?

Plan for London rents. The nearby properties shown on this page start around £240 a week and reach around £450 a week, and most include bills. None are in Hackney itself; they sit in places such as Shoreditch, Bow and Stratford. Check the miles on each card and compare what is included, then look at student accommodation in Shoreditch.

Are there student halls in Hackney?

Not many. Hackney has few purpose built student properties, so this page shows the closest options in neighbouring areas instead. Hoxton, in the south west of the borough, and Shoreditch next to it, are the nearest spots with listings. Many students also share flats on Hackney's residential streets. Compare purpose built options in student accommodation in Hoxton.

Do students have to pay council tax in Hackney?

Not if everyone in the home is a full time student. GOV.UK says households made up only of full time students do not pay council tax, but a bill can follow if someone living there is not a full time student. You usually need to apply for the exemption with your council, Hackney Council for a Hackney address. Keep your student status letter from your university ready.

Is there student accommodation near Hackney Wick?

A few options sit close by. Hackney Wick covers parts of E9, E3 and E15, on the edge of the Olympic Park. Its station is on the London Overground Mildmay line, one stop from Stratford. Some properties shown on this page are in Bow, E3, and Stratford, E15, so check each card's distance from Hackney before you book.
