How Can I Choose the Best Room For Me?
We want you to choose a room you are going to be happy living in and we know everyone has a different wish list – from the floor the room is on to the view and the amenities in the room, the Residents’ Team will be on hand to discuss this with you and help you make the best selection.

If you want to bring some friends or family members that’s absolutely fine too – they just ask that you speak to their Residents’ Team in advance so they can make sure they have some rooms available to show you.
