Classic Studio

Welcome to 3 Minutes East, a brand-new property bringing 1,085 students to East London. Set to open in September 2027, this landmark waterfront development sits on the historic Royal Albert Dock, with the 70-acre expanse of Beckton Park just moments away. These docks loaded ships for a century; now they launch your academic journey.

Featuring a range of generously sized accommodation styles, 3 Minutes East is designed to deliver a luxury London student accommodation experience for every resident, whether you are looking for your own private Studio or the social atmosphere of shared living. Every room benefits from efficient in-room comfort cooling, giving residents full control over their space.

Life here revolves around three amenity zones, each designed to bring comfort and community to residents, with a scale and quality like nowhere else in London. It's a place designed to keep residents ahead.

The social heart of the property includes a lobby and lounge space with a bar, an event space and private dining rooms. Entertainment options range from a vinyl lounge for music and parties to a games room for darts, pool and table tennis, alongside Mahjong rooms, a gaming area, home cinema rooms and media pods. Podcast rooms are also available for residents who want to record and create their own content.

For those who need to focus, dedicated study facilities include a library, study space, quiet study rooms, and collaborative study areas. A coworking space with a kitchenette and bar sits alongside a coworking pod and social space, whilst meeting rooms of varying sizes are available for group work.

Our students will also benefit from an extensive wellness offering, featuring a padel court, basketball court, weights gym, cardio gym, yoga and spin studio, and wellness studio. A refreshment zone doubles as a waiting area for gym classes, ensuring that an active lifestyle is accessible to everyone.

The community will extend beyond the building, too. The surrounding development is set to include a range of local amenities, such as cafés, bakeries, and a supermarket, giving residents everyday convenience and social spaces on their doorstep. This part of the project will further integrate the property into the local area, ensuring we are a fixture of the Royal Docks.

East London is a place like no other. From Canning Town's growing skyline to the creative energy of Stratford, and the cultural depth of the Docklands to the green open spaces of the Royal Docks, life here is never short of possibility.

Beckton Park DLR station is approximately a one-minute walk from the development, with Royal Albert DLR also close by. Custom House is one stop further, serving both the DLR and the Elizabeth line. From Custom House, you can reach London Heathrow Airport with ease, while Liverpool Street is just 10 minutes away, and Canary Wharf just 4 minutes away. London City Airport is also just minutes away via the DLR, making travelling home between terms as straightforward as it gets.
