UAL’s campuses and residences are spread across the city, giving you the opportunity to live like a Londoner by commuting to and from your classes.
The Costume Store is so named as it is built on the site of the BBC’s costume collection located in North Acton in West London. While more of an industrial area, the residence itself sits alongside other modern apartment buildings with nearby independent coffee shops, takeaway shops, and a small supermarket on its doorstep. All rooms are single bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. There are 4-9 students per flat sharing kitchen facilities. The Costume Store also offers a common room, art gallery, and a studio workshop within the residence. Journey times from the residence will depend where you are studying. It is a 20 minute commute by tube to London College of Fashion, and approximately 40 minutes by tube to Central St Martin’s and London College of Communication. The nearest tube station to the residence is North Acton, which is located in Zone 2.
