The best place to do your studies with your family! The team is extremely friendly, softhearted, passionate and kind, I am deeply thankful for their support during my studies🙏 The administration organizes various events and activities for kids, which is very thoughtful. The neighborhood is very nice and quite with all the necessary infrastructure. The village community is very friendly. Perfect place to live, especially for those with kids. My daughter misses her friends from the Village so much! Thank you again, Nansen Village and the team🫶Around 20-25 min to the city center by tube. Nice study rooms, clean and well equipped flats👍My confident recommendation to stay here while doing studies!
Response from the owner: Hi Zhansaya, it was lovely that you and your daughter chose Nansen Village as your home while you were completing your studies. We were delighted that you were able to complete your studies so successfully and if you are ever passing it would be great if you could pop by. Hopefully we will see your daughter in a few years’ time when she comes to London to do her PhD!!!
A lovely place which Is home to all races, tribe and culture
Response from the owner: Thank you Peter, we love what we do and always appreciate people who take the time and energy to provide us with feedback.
During our nearly two-year stay at Nansen Village, we thoroughly enjoyed our lives in this incredibly diverse neighborhood where people from all over lived in peace and tranquility. The administration had a super positive attitude, aiming to raise the bar and enhance the tenant experience. Numerous social gatherings for both kids and adults throughout the year showcased their efforts to provide tenants with a fun-filled and joyful experience
Response from the owner: Thank you for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to have you stay at the village. Do stay in touch.
My stay at The Nansen Village from 2022 to 2023 was a transformative experience since arriving in London. The staff's unwavering support and professionalism created a warm, welcoming environment. The diverse range of activities and the community's multicultural makeup fostered continuous learning and meaningful connections. It's more than accommodation; it's a hub of personal growth and cultural exchange.The Nansen Village is a testament to exceptional communal living. The residents' friendly nature and the staff's dedication to ensuring a comfortable, enriching stay make it a true home away from home. If you're seeking an environment that encourages growth, fosters friendships, and expands horizons, I wholeheartedly recommend The Nansen Village.

Goede ervaringen 45 jaar geleden. 2 jaar super gewoond!!!
Nansen Village is a hidden gem. Located in a quiet and residential neighbourhood, this community is a peaceful and welcoming place to call home. The grounds are impeccably kept, with lush green lawns and well-manicured gardens. The staff at Nansen Village are friendly and helpful, always willing to lend a hand or answer any questions.But what really made my stay at Nansen Village special was the sense of community that I felt while I was there. I met so many interesting and friendly people, and we often found ourselves chatting and enjoying each other's company in the common areas. It truly felt like a home away from home.In short, Nansen Village is a truly special place. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and beautiful community to call home.

Lovely place!Lovely people!
Very nice and diverse community. Play ground and nursery for children is available. Separate study rooms. Overall, a good study environment along with being a family friendly place. Good access to Central London via Northern Line.
Such a vibrant student community!!
Response from the owner: Thank you Akanksha for your five star review and lovely comment.
We live in Nansen village in 2004 and 2005. That was a fantastic time. My kids loved it! Lena and Sarah found great friends from all over the world. Mrs and Mr Weinberg came often to visit and speak with all of the tenants, and joined us for many occasions. Thank you so much for this place you created. That’s much more than a Home. That a place to grow in peace and humanity. I will visit again☺️
Response from the owner: That is great to hear and it was a pleasure to have you stay at the village, I will let Charlotte know that you have been in touch (via Google). Kurt passed away a few years ago which was very sad for the village. You can stay in touch with what is happening at the village and current and former residents on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/company/barnet-overseas-students-housing-association-limited and if you are ever passing this way it would be great to catch up. Do remember that we have the Nansen Room available for former residents if you are ever visiting London.
Best place for students and families in London. The neighbors were absolutely fantastic. It had been our home for 4 years between 2015 and 2019 (Flat 51 and flat 57). Our little one was born during our stay in Nansen

Nansen Village is the best accommodation for overseas students in London, at least among the options I know. My wife, me and our daughter Ruhee stayed there from 2018 to 2020 in Flat 36B. With the experience of staying at other place in London, we all really enjoyed our Nansen tenure for its lovely facilities, neighbourhood, environment, people, culture and off course management. I’m sure, our daughter Ruhee loved it the most! She misses her Nansen friends Hasan, Mimi, Altaf, Pulika, Syam, Martina and many more! We would highly recommend the families of international students in London to consider Nansen. All the best for BOSHA Limited, keep supporting the OS families as you are doing!!

The best accomodation for international students who bring their family (wife/husband with/without children) during their study in London. It's a lovely place to stay with a great community and a lot of events, and the more important thing is that it's really children friendly. The location is excellent, only 3 minutes-walk to the tube station and 5 minutes-walk to the main road. The price is also affordable, in my opinion, it's one of the cheapest family accomodations in London. My wife and I did really enjoy our life when we were living there in 2018-2019. Thank you Nubia, Ausra, Usha, Georgia, Medi, Radka and everyone there who were very kind and helpful. Thank you for the memories, Nansen Village. 😀

Suits are small and cosy but spacious with reasonable rent price for students
My wife and I, together with 2 boys moved to London for my PhD studies in September 2015. Following 18 months of my studies, we returned to Singapore with awesome memories and deep friendships with many of our Nansen neighbours. My third kid incidentally was also born in Nansen Village (we opted for a home birth). We will always remember the wonderful moments spent in Nansen and hope to return one day to visit:)
I was live there, fantastic place for student with the family, an example living in harmony. Salute and thank you very much to Kurt & Charlotte Weinberg.
I lived here for 4 years. A Lovely community of postgraduate families. It also offers an exclusive and secure playground for children.Cheap but decent quality housing for post grad overseas students.
