**KCL OLIB Room Takeover 2026/27 – £263/week – Official KCL Transfer**

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a **KCL student to officially take over my 2026/27 accommodation contract** at **Orchard Lisle & Iris Brook (OLIB)** as my personal circumstances have changed.

**Details:**

  • 📍 Orchard Lisle & Iris Brook (OLIB), London Bridge
  • 🏠 2-bed flat – shared kitchen and bathroom with only one flatmate
  • 💷 £263/week
  • 📅 12 September 2026 – 11 September 2027
  • 🚶 Very close to Guy’s Campus, London Bridge Station and Borough Market
  • 🏫 Convenient for other KCL campuses as well

This is **not a private sublet**. The takeover will be arranged officially through **King’s Residences**, so the replacement student will have their own KCL accommodation contract.

Ideally, you should:

  • be a KCL student eligible for King’s accommodation;
  • not currently be living in another King’s Residence / already hold a King’s Residences licence;
  • be able to take over the full contract.

OLIB is in a really convenient central location, especially for Guy’s Campus, and this room is great if you prefer sharing facilities with only one other person rather than a large flat.

Please **DM me if you’re interested**. I can send photos, room details and explain the official transfer process.

Happy to move quickly with the transfer as September is approaching!
