Hi,

Looking for some help. My son is moving to London in Sept to go to uni.

He's going to BIMM which is SW6 1EN Fulham.

In terms of accommodation options, he's got two:

iQ Flinders House in Greenwich SE10 0FQ. I can get a small studio there. I've read some good reviews about Flinders House, and Greenwich looks nice. Its 2 tube lines - Jubilee then District - 50 minutes away from uni.

The other option is an ensuite room in iQ Highbury which is in Finsbury park N7 7JR. This is two tubes Victoria then District - 42 minutes away from uni. I've read some really bad reviews about the noise from the train line which is right next to iQ Highbury , and that the area is abit rough.

The studio in Greenwich is £24 per week / £102 per month more than Finsbury park.

Anybody got any advice on these?

Any idea which is the best idea?

What's the commute like from Greenwich to north of river - i've never really been south of river? - some people have said it's a bad commute but google maps seems to say it's similiar to the one from Finsbury park

Thanks
