Why choose Scape over university halls/ private rentals?
For most students, university halls aren't for the long haul. Resi parties, rowdy flatmates, shared bathrooms and minimal amenities can make it tricky to enjoy your privacy and keep a tidy space. University rules can be restrictive while Scape gives you the freedom and support to forge your own path.
On the other hand, private student accommodation like Scape Mile End offers many perks that are hard to find in university halls or private rentals. You have the freedom to choose a room type that suits you, whether you want to share with friends or have your own space. You also have access to a community unlike anywhere else, with regular events like sip and paint nights to HIIT classes and summer parties, and 24/7 reception support.
How secure is my room?
Your safety is our priority. All our rooms in Mile End are equipped with premium security features, including key fob access to your room, and all entry points in the building. For extra peace of mind, we have on-site security, CCTV and 24/7 reception providing around the clock support with anything you need.
These security measures exceed what you’d typically find in private rentals. Scape is highly selective of our locations and Queen Mary students can relax knowing they're situated right on campus. For students going to uni elsewhere, Mile End is a safe, central neighbourhood only a short commute to most major universities in London. Should you need anything at all while you’re with us, you can reach our team via instant chat on the Scape app.
