London-based co-living brand ARK Living is expanding into the student accommodation market with the launch of its first dedicated student residence, ARK Canning Town, opening in August 2026 ahead of the new academic year.
The new East London development promises to bring a fresh approach to student living, combining stylish private rooms with community-focused amenities, wellness facilities, and a year-round social programme designed to help students thrive both academically and socially.

ARK Canning Town Set To Redefine Student Living In London
Located in the heart of Canning Town, the new residence will offer a mix of modern ensuite rooms and fully equipped studio apartments, each designed with dedicated study areas, smart storage, and calming interiors.
The accommodation goes far beyond traditional student halls, with a focus on balancing private living with social connection and wellbeing.
Residents will have access to:
- Gym and wellness studio
- Yoga studio
- Games room
- Co-working and study spaces
- Podcast studio
- Communal kitchen and lounge
- Two rooftop terraces
- Laundry facilities
The brand says the residence has been designed to support every aspect of student life, whether that’s early morning yoga sessions before lectures, collaborative study evenings, or rooftop social events overlooking the London skyline.
Excellent Transport Links For London Universities
ARK Canning Town benefits from a prime East London location, just moments from London Underground and DLR connections.
Students will have quick access to several major universities including University of Greenwich, King’s College London, Queen Mary University of London, University of East London and Anglia Ruskin University London.
The surrounding area also offers easy access to some of London’s most popular lifestyle and entertainment destinations, including The O2, Hackney Wick and Westfield Stratford City.
Community-Focused Living With 250 Events Per Year
A major part of ARK Living’s offering is its emphasis on building community among residents.
According to the company, ARK Canning Town will host more than 250 events annually, helping students settle into life in London while creating opportunities to connect with fellow residents.
The events programme will focus on collaboration, creativity, networking, and wellbeing, continuing ARK Living’s wider mission of delivering what it describes as an “altogether better” living experience.
Alongside the Canning Town launch, the company has also confirmed future student accommodation developments in Gants Hill and Tottenham Hale.
All-Inclusive Student Accommodation Pricing
ARK Living says it aims to remove much of the stress traditionally associated with renting in London through simplified membership agreements, all-inclusive bills, transparent pricing, and 24/7 onsite support teams.
Weekly rents at ARK Canning Town will start from £300, with introductory first-year offers including rooms from £275 per week and studios from £362 per week.
