Close to the university and Happy Man Pub. A good location for anyone at RHUL, as it's ~5 minutes to campus. Parking on the road is often impossible. Neighbours are very loud and often throw parties or can be heard yelling in their house, through the walls.

The area was actually alright, quite, no problems or disburbances However it was by a main road with no parking on front which made it difficult to get deliveries or taxi. The House itself it not too bad. its within 15 minutes of local travel links (Bus station and tram stops) The house is located over the road from a retail park with shopping amenties and a Gym.

Unsafe, very badly connected both with the University and with town. Can't really think about a single reason to live there.

15min walk from the station.
Loud outside (main road always busy and people working in the area next to garden very loud from 7am every day (even burning wheels sometimes, which makes it all very smelly).

Property is directly onto a fairly busy road, but is set far enough back and with a large hedge that this isnt much of an issue. About a 15min walk wither to sportspark entrance via Earlham Road or 15/20min walk to centre of campus via George Borrow Road and The Avenues. 5 minute walk to Tesco Express/Coop and 5 min walk to Coop/shops on the Avenues. No26 bus stop into town 2 mins away opposite the police station. or towards Uni 2 mins away on Colman Road.

The roommates were untidy and I wasn't allowed to meet them before moving in. The area was ok but you could see it was becoming run down.

What more can I say. Old Orchard Street is absolutely beautiful (if you ignore the freemasons turning up every Monday looking like extras from Jeeves and Wooster).

Very good area, nice neighbours. I'd heartily recommend Empire Square to anyone, just not number 31 due - unfortunately - to a very dishonest and extremely difficult landlord

Great transport links not a bad area but has gone downhill somewhat. Bus stops are about ten minutes walk. Local park nearby but not safe. Nice little coop and pizza place but not as nice an area as it used to be avoid
