If you are studying, or applying to study, at the LSE, you can book a room at our flagship property, urbanest Westminster Bridge, at preferential rates.
You can find out more about LSE accommodation at Westminster Bridge on the urbanest website or the LSE website.
How to book
All LSE bookings at Westminster Bridge must be made via the LSE portal. Once you have applied, you will be able to see live availability and book online.
Availability is first-come, first-served. The urbanest team cannot make a booking on your behalf... all bookings must originate from the LSE system.
Can I select my own room?
Yes. During the online booking process you can choose the room type and room you prefer. See more about urbanest room types here.
If you would like help choosing the best room for your preferences, the urbanest team are happy to assist via the orange widget on the search page.
What tenancy lengths are available for 2026-27?
There are two contract lengths at Westminster Bridge:
39-weeks: 12 September 2026 to 12 June 2027. Available to new first-year students only (undergraduate or postgraduate).
50-weeks: 12 September 2026 to 27 August 2027. Available to all students.
If you are a continuing student, you can only book a 50-week tenancy.
I currently live at Westminster Bridge. Can I rebook?
Yes, current residents can rebook for the following academic year, subject to availability. If you want the same room you have now, book as soon as reservations open... rooms go quickly. You can register your interest in keeping the same room via your urbanest portal.
If your current LSE contract ends in June, you are welcome to rebook for the following academic year from September when bookings open, subject to availability, but you will need to book a 50-week room.
What happens over summer if I have a 39-week room?
39-week contracts have a fixed end-date and cannot be extended, as these rooms are used by LSE summer school over the summer period. If you have a 39-week room, you must either:
Move out at the end of your contract, or
Book a different room for the summer directly with urbanest, at market rate.
Can I change my room after booking?
If you have reserved a room and would like to switch to a different one, contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you. We cannot move a student who already has a confirmed reservation.
What's your availability?
Live LSE availability can be found via the LSE Student Accommodation System.
LSE has a set number of rooms at Westminster Bridge. Once these are sold out, you can either:
Book a room directly with urbanest at market rate, or
Book another LSE hall.
The choice is yours.
What are the prices?
For full pricing, please see the LSE Student Accommodation System.
What if I need to change my allocation or tenancy?
Log on to your portal after you have confirmed your booking and contact us to check availability. We are happy to help where possible.
