I'd been living here for approximately 3 years (2021\/2024) for the duration of my Degree, and, have since moved out, but have just found some time to pay the Tower Bridge Team a massive thank you!\n\nIn no specific order, the concierge team (for the period stated 2021-2024): Kola, Ibrahim, Leona, Phee, Jessica, Alessia & all of the night team (apologies I have forgotten some names since then, but do remember your faces) were extremely helpful, gentle, kind and respectful as to any specific request during any time of the day.\n\nTruly lovely people - really made studying a Law Degree that much more relaxing.\n\nAs for the amenities and the property itself:\n\n1. Rooms (ensuite): 11\/10 Lux! Underfloor heating in rooms, luxury bathrooms and kitchen, unlimited hot water and shower.... great views.... made so many great memories here.\n\n2. Laundry room: 8\/10 (although Circuit does get expensive sometimes!).\n\n3. Atmosphere: 12\/10 - Students and flatmates are genuinely really nice and fun to be around- especially if you're new to the City like I was. It was a pleasure to just be around likeminded people of all ages who attended neighbouring Universities (KCL\/QMUL\/Imperial\/LSE). So much diversity too; everyone was from a different country, bringing their knowledge, expertise and culture over which was really interesting to be around i.e., Living with people from Italy, Peru, Japan, Switzerland and eating different foods\/the different smells in the kitchen.\n\nThe staff always decorated the place for holiday events, with a bunch of freebies always available as you walk into the building (pizza\/shower goods), and made events for the residents to get to know each other- especially in the study area (10\/10 btw with Macs at hand and unlimited printer credit\/great lighting.)\n\nAlso... Movie Room with a free shared Netflix account and every single movie... this can goes without saying.... 13\/10.\n\nIf you're new to the City or University in general, you're really going to enjoy being here - even if you're a quiet person like myself.\n\n4. Location: 15\/10 - Tower Bridge is literally just outside. You're smack-bang in Central London - what more could you ask for? Aldgate Underground Station, Tower Hill Underground Station and the Tower Hill DLR are a minute's walk from the Property. You could literally get to anywhere in seconds (these tubes are really quick and show up every 2-3 minutes). Be it Fleet Street, Kensington, Mile End, Bloomsbury (in my case getting to University) was extremely quick and made the commute so much less stressful. Bike hire is available, and the Santander bikes are just outside of the building.\n\nAlso, if you're looking for food- there are is a small Tesco's just outside, which is near to a small Sainsbury's and Co-Op. Would recommend going over to Aldgate\/Whitechapel\/Stepney Green\/Mile End\/Brick Lane\/Spitalfields Market for food though - they're about a 6-7 minute's walk away towards the East and have everything you could ask for in terms of food at an affordable price. Literally every different type of cuisine from each ethnicity.... (A lot of Halal options too).\n\nAnd finally, if you are looking for work experience in a Corporate environment, the location is just perfect- you're a stone's throw away from the financial district, Liverpool Street, Fleet Street, Embankment and London Bridge Station. Literally.","time":"1747997004","created_at":"2026-08-01 19:54:13","updated_at":"2026-11-01 12:57:58","deleted_at":null,"deleted_by":null},{"id":15180,"build_id":"1868","author_name":"Muyang Duan","author_url":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/108689334146332292509\/reviews","language":"en","profile_photo_url":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a-\/ALV-UjU__VxfpUNePT4N87vbBjL7IlAPjLRqgV7lSiW5eW_gNF-L6ZcZ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo","rating":"5","relative_time_description":"a year ago","text":"I would give 10 stars if Google allows.
