Most draa schools don’t offer student accommodation, but they'll usually help you find the best and most affordable housing in nearby areas.
We recommend you plan well in advance to find the best options and understand the transport routes to and from your training facilities.
Below you'll find a list of nearby areas, transport links, housing websites and house share options for training at The Monkey House.
NEARBY AREAS:
• Crouch End and Crouch Hill (N8)
• Islington (N1)
• Muswell Hill (N10)
• Bounds Green (N11 – subject to exact location this may require public transport. A popular and affordable area for students)
• Southgate (N14)
• Palmers Green (N13)
• Totteridge & Whetstone (N2)
• Seven Sisters (N15)
• Oakwood (N14)
• Barnet (EN4)
• Walthamstow/Blackhorse Road (E17)
• Turnpike Lane (N8)
• Stratford (E7/E5/E20)
• Cockfosters (EN4)
• Holloway and Archway (N7, N19)
• Drayton Park (N5)
• Finsbury Park (N4)
TRANSPORT
Finsbury Park is situated in North London. Our closest tube is Finsbury Park station which is approximately an 8-minute walk from the school and runs on the Piccadilly line and Victoria Line. Other nearby tube stations include:
. Holloway Road Station - Piccadilly Line
. Arsenal Station - Piccadilly Line
. Drayton Park Station - National Rail and Great Northern
Other Methods of Transport include the bus, overground and Thameslink.
Below are a list of bus routes and a map of the London and the underground to help plan your travel.
As a student in London, you can apply for a Student 18+ Oyster card, which gives you discounted travel-cards and bus/tram passes. You can also purchase a 16-25 railcard for £30 a year for discounted rail travel, which can be linked to your Oyster card for discounted off-peak pay as you go tube travel.
HOUSING
Embarking on higher education is an exciting new challenge, and for many students it may also mean living independently for the first time.
On the Meet & Greet day, you'll be introduced to your fellow Fourth Monkey students. This is the perfect opportunity to arrange shared houses, helping you all save time and money in searching for and sharing accommodation. (Remember: Some areas can be expensive but may become more affordable in a bigger house share).
We think this is the best approach as it provides additional means of support throughout your training journey; you'll be sharing with like-minded people who understand the demands of the course.
Below are a list of housing websites and student accommodation:
Alternatively, there are general student accommodation providers that offer accommodation to Fourth Monkey students:
The London market sees July and August as a suitable lead time for property searches with September starts and, as a university city, there are plenty of residential housing options for students in the local area.
The London rents map show average monthly rents for different types of homes across London.
If you have specific access needs, please speak to someone in our Student and Academic team for assistance.
This post offers great insights into the unique challenges of drama school living. red ball I'm curious, how do you think these experiences shape one's identity as an artist? Any personal stories you'd like to share?
Recently I came across Affordable Waste Management while researching ways businesses can improve recycling performance. The website provides useful information about commercial recycling services, food waste collection, glass recycling, and general waste management solutions. What I liked most is that the information is presented in a clear and practical manner that businesses can easily understand. The platform https://affordablewastemanagement.co.uk/commercial-waste-services-in-manchester/ also offers solutions tailored to different industries, helping companies identify services that fit their operational needs. Their focus on affordability and sustainability creates a balanced approach that many organizations can benefit from. Overall, the website appears to be a valuable resource for businesses looking to develop smarter recycling habits and improve waste management efficiency.
The emphasis on researching nearby areas and house-sharing opportunities can help reduce stress and make the transition smoother. Reading this reminds me of how preparation plays a major role in achieving success, whether in real-life training programs or strategic games like Veck IO. In both situations, I find that careful planning and understanding the available resources can make a significant difference in reaching your goals.
Yesterday evening while relaxing at home, I started exploring different gaming platforms because many apps online usually become frustrating during longer browsing sessions from smartphones after regular usage every single day. I checked menus, explored sections, and tested navigation speed continuously from my phone during free time online. Surprisingly, Jalwa Game stayed responsive throughout usage and even after carefully browsing different pages there were fewer interruptions compared to several similar gaming apps I have tried recently online.
