Things to do around your student accommodation in Earls Court. 

Moving to a new city for university isn’t always as easy as it seems, especially when you don’t know the Central London area. 

So, we’ve taken out the hard part and found some great spots to check out near our student accommodation, Park House in Earls Court that’ll suit whatever mood you’re in for different days.  

1. They’ve got history… and then some! The Natural History Museum is only an 18-minute walk away from Park House and a great way to spend your day when you have free time. Check out their website here for more details, and it’s free – very important for student living! https://www.nhm.ac.uk/. 

2. Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens is a great study spot or even somewhere to visit with your new flatmates for a cute picnic in the park and a great way to bond with them. The Park is a huge green space with the Diana memorial fountain in Kensington Gardens, walk through to Hyde Park and there is also boating and swimming to enjoy on the Serpentine Lake.
