Grand Felda House: A Student Accommodation Review for London
Who This Residence Suits / Doesn’t Suit
Grand Felda House is located on Empire Way in Wembley, northwest London. It is described as a premium student accommodation offering en-suite rooms, studios, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. This property is best suited for students who value a quieter residential setting away from the busiest parts of central London but still want reliable public transport links to the main university campuses.
Who it suits:
- Students attending universities or colleges near Wembley, such as UCFB (University Campus of Football Business) or any institution in the northwest corridor. Wembley Park tube station (Metropolitan and Jubilee lines) is within walking distance, providing direct journeys to Baker Street (around 15 minutes) and onward connections to central London.
- Students who prefer an en-suite or a self-contained studio rather than a shared bathroom. The property covers a range of private room types.
- Groups of friends or students who want to live together in a two-bedroom or three-bedroom apartment with shared living space.
- Those who appreciate proximity to Wembley Stadium and the wider Wembley Park entertainment district, with shops, restaurants, and the London Designer Outlet nearby.
Who it doesn’t suit:
- Students on a very tight budget. The minimum weekly rent is £245.02, which is significantly above the city’s entry-level price of around £130 per week. If you need the cheapest possible London accommodation, this is not the right choice.
- Students who prioritise being within a short walk of central London campuses (e.g., Bloomsbury, South Kensington, or the Strand). Travel time to universities like Imperial, UCL, King’s, or LSE will typically be 30–45 minutes by tube, depending on the exact destination.
- Students who want a very lively, nightlife-oriented area directly outside their door. Wembley is more suburban and event-driven; it is quieter on non-match days compared to zones 1–2.
What Residents Actually Say
At the time of data collection (July 2026), no individual resident reviews were available for Grand Felda House. The property holds a platform rating of 4.5 out of 5, based on 27 ratings on the listing site. Without verbatim quotes, it is not possible to give precise resident feedback. Prospective tenants are advised to request recent testimonials or contact the operator directly for references.
Note: The 4.5 rating suggests a generally positive experience among those who rated it, but the absence of published review text means you should verify current satisfaction levels independently.
Price Positioning vs City From-Price
London’s student accommodation market offers a wide range of prices. The city’s from-price (the lowest available rent for any student room across all properties) stands at £130 per week. Grand Felda House’s minimum weekly rent of £245.02 is nearly double that entry-level figure. The maximum weekly rent of £403.02 places the larger or higher-spec units in the upper-mid range for London.
Price positioning summary (indicative – confirm with operator):
- Entry-level London rooms: typically £130–£180 per week (shared bathrooms, basic facilities)
- Grand Felda House minimum (likely an en-suite or small studio): £245.02 per week
- Grand Felda House maximum (likely a large studio or three-bedroom share): £403.02 per week
- Comparable Wembley student properties: often £200–£350 per week for private rooms
This means Grand Felda House is priced at a premium over the absolute cheapest London options, but it is not among the most expensive luxury properties. The value proposition depends on the room type and your willingness to pay for private facilities and a location near Wembley Park.
Room-Type Guidance
The property offers four room categories:
-
En-suite rooms: A private bedroom with a private bathroom, sharing a kitchen and living area with other flatmates. Typically the most affordable option within the building – likely the £245.02 weekly price or close to it. Suitable if you want privacy in your bathroom but don’t mind shared communal spaces.
-
Studio apartments: A fully self-contained unit with your own kitchen, bathroom, and living/sleeping area. Prices tend to be higher (around £300–£350 per week) depending on size. Ideal for those who prefer complete independence and quiet study.

-
Two-bedroom apartments: Two separate bedrooms with shared living and kitchen facilities. The per-room cost is often lower than a studio but higher than an en-suite. Good for two friends who want to share a flat.
-
Three-bedroom apartments: Similar logic – three bedrooms, shared living space. The per-person cost may be the most economical way to access the building if you are a group of three.
Decision tips:
- If you are sociable and want to lower costs, an en-suite is a strong choice – but you’ll need to get along with flatmates.
- If you need guaranteed quiet and control over cooking/cleaning, a studio costs more but offers flexibility.
- If you already know two or three people, booking a multi-bedroom apartment can reduce individual rent compared to separate studios.
Booking Timing
Data is current as of July 2026, which is the peak booking season for the 2026/2027 academic year. Most London student properties begin releasing rooms for the next year around October–January for the following September intake. By July, many rooms are already reserved, but cancellations and late availability do occur.
Guidance for 2026/2027 start:
- If you are reading this in July 2026, act quickly. Contact the operator to check which room types are still available.
- For the 2027/2028 academic year, aim to start your search in late 2026 (November–December) to have the widest choice of rooms and price points.
- Some operators offer reduced rates for early bookings or group bookings – ask directly.
- Flexible move-in dates (e.g., starting in January or April) may have more availability than September.
All prices mentioned are indicative – confirm with the operator before making any financial commitment.
