Let’s be real—this is London. Nobody gets a ballroom. But the rooms at New Orient House are smartly tiny. Every inch feels used.
You get a double bed. Not a squeaky, single mattress that remembers every awkward sleepover. A real, actual double. The storage is sneaky good too—drawers under the bed, a wardrobe that doesn’t eat your clothes.
And the en-suite bathrooms? Game changer. No more sharing a shower with someone who treats conditioner like a suggestion. No more 7 AM hairball surprises in the drain. It’s just your mess, and that’s progress.

Social Life: Forced Fun or Actually Fun?
Look, I’m wary of “social events” hosted by landlords. They usually mean stale pizza and an awkward icebreaker about your star sign. But New Orient House does it differently.
They have a massive communal kitchen on the top floor. It’s not just for show—people actually hang out there. There’s a pool table, a huge TV, and a balcony. Yes, a balcony! You can pretend you’re on holiday while you’re procrastinating on your dissertation.
The vibe is very “come if you want, but no one will force you to make small talk about your major.” It’s the social equivalent of an open door: you can peek in or walk away. Bliss.
