We’re an artistic bunch, here at The Hive, as evidenced by our creative surroundings, better known as Shoreditch, and the huge array of students staying with us who attend the University of the Arts London; Europe’s largest university to specialise in art, design, fashion and the performing arts. Indeed, when asked, our residents will tell you that, alongside our incredible security features (which include 24/7 staff presence, CCTV and secure key fob access), it’s our central location that makes The Hive so desirable.

So just how convenient is our student housing for students of the University of the Arts London?
