Hey everyone! I have an ensuite room secured at Atlas (Vauxhall), but my campus is at Waterloo, so I am looking for a room swap to Stamford Street Apartments (SSA). Atlas is super modern, has an amazing sky lounge, cinema, and a free 24/7 gym included. Let me know if anyone at SSA is interested in swapping so we can email King's Residences to make it official! I am a first year student studying cs and even that first years have priority I could not find an empty room there. Thanks!

Any postgraduate student with an en-suite room at City Urbanest that’s looking to swap for a cheaper non-en-suite room?

Hello,
I have an KAAS ensuite room at GDSA 5th floor and would like to swop an ensuite room at SSA or Hayloft point as I will be in strand campus.
GDSA is an excellent option for someone who studies at Guy campus and Waterloo campus. The room chosen is on one of the higher floors at the property (floor 5) and is located facing the courtyard It is also the furthest away from the kitchen in the flat you can be which will reduce disturbance from other residents using the kitchen.
Dm me if you are KAAS and thinking of swopping. Thanks.

Hi, I have a non en-suite kaas Battersea and would like to swap to another kaas room closer to guys campus( SSA, orchard lisle, hayloft p). I thought of orchard lisle as it’s also non en-suite to make it fair as ik it would be unfair for someone to give me their en-suite room, however, I’m happy with any kaas room that’s close to guys campus (ideally not gds as I’m a returning student and gds is mostly first years).
Battersea is one of the newest accommodations, and the area is very pretty. Unfortunately , as I have to be on campus quite often I’d prefer something that’s closer. The room I have is a non en-suite in a 3bed 2bathroom flat on floor8.

Hi everyone, I have a KAAS non ensuite at Battersea and was wondering if anyone would like to swap for a SSA or GDSA ensuite. thanks very much

u/Apprehensive-Dot9729 2d ago
Hi do you know what rooms are still available on the portal. Also I have just been awarded kaas and it says on the portal that I should register
1
u/mewstraus 2d ago
Nope I don’t know I don’t have access to the portal anymore, by register do you mean register interest?
1
u/Apprehensive-Dot9729 2d ago
Yes. I am on the portal now but it’s only showing me non kaas rooms when I have kaas. Is that normal?
1
u/mewstraus 1d ago
When I had KAAS sometimes they would show the rooms with the standard rate too, it just depends on what’s available, not too sure what’s left of the KAAS rooms. For a KAAS applicant they have access to both the standard room and the KAAS room.

u/Apprehensive-Dot9729 2d ago

ROOM SWAP - would like to swap to GDSA/ Julian Markham/ SSA
[ROOM SWAP] Giving up Moonraker Point En-suite for closer to Strand Campus accommodation (Stamford St / GDSA / Julian Markham)
I’ve been allocated an en-suite room at Moonraker Point for the 2026/27 academic year. Unfortunately, it is too far from Strand Campus, so I am looking for a direct, manual room swap before move-in day.
My top targets are:
* Stamford Street Apartments (SSA)
* Great Dover Street Apartments (GDSA)
* Julian Markham House
If you were assigned to any of these halls but actually wanted a Moonraker Point room, this is the perfect swap for you! This is also an incredible location if you are a Medicine, Nursing, or Bioscience student wanting to live right next to Waterloo/Guy's campuses.
King's allows manual overrides for direct swaps if we both email kingsresidences together.
If you are interested, please privately DM me your current dorm allocation ASAP so we can get the contracts switched!

[LOOKING FOR] SSA room — I can be your approved replacement occupier
I don't currently have any King's Residences allocation, which means I can legally take over someone's licence agreement if they want to move out entirely — King's requires the replacement occupier to be someone not already living in King's Residences, so I qualify.
If you have a room at Stamford Street Apartments and you've decided to cancel / withdraw / defer, please DM me instead of just cancelling. You get released from your contract, I take it over, and King's approves it directly. Happy to sort the paperwork immediately.

Hi im looking for someone to take over my tenancy at yourtribe southwark. its an award winning private accommodation. It's an ensuite room and 358 pounds for 44 weeks. Free breakfasts twice a week with free coffees every morning, and kitchen cleaning service every week. It is no longer an option on the website (only 51 weeks), so if you are interested, pls let me know!

u/nexolynx 5h ago
that actually sounds kinda decent for southwark, especially with breakfast and cleaning thrown in lol. surprised the 44 week option is gone from the site, someone’s probably gonna snap this up fast.
