Amazing facilities, location and rooms. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a central based accommodation that is quiet, comfortable and has lovely views of the city. However, if you are a first year looking for that hyper-social “uni experience”, Vega may not be quite perfect due to the variety of students at different disciplines and general quiet social atmosphere within the building.

Thanks for sharing your review for Vega!
Overall a very good experience, no real complaints at all. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, rooms are nice and kitchen spaces are excellent. If I could add one thing to Vega it’d be easier accessibility to the bike shed by placing a ramp to wheel bikes up and down but that’s the only thing I’d add

Supervisor jack is very friendly to everyone. He can provide help in the first time and patiently communicate with the residents whose English is not good. Glad to have him in Vega!
Thanks so much for sharing this lovely review! Jack will be delighted to read it and we will pass on the comments to his Manager too!
I joined with a friend who is doing a placement year in london. The accommodation is a perfect distance from both my uni and his central London placement. The area has great transport possibilities due to it being near Victoria and Clapham Junction making travel easy.
Vega is quite a nice student accommodation full of fun activities, warm and kind staff (Jack is amazing). The view from the rooftop is great, undoubtedly the best part of Vega. And it's close to Vauxhall station. It only took me 20 minutes to get to UCL.
i think the location is excellent and the view outside the window is beautiful i feel comfortable live in vega
