Building details
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.
Come home to 3 Minutes East, where you know your bearing, and the rest is movement.

Classic Ensuite
Room description
Students from everywhere arrive at the same place, and the Classic Ensuite is where you meet them. It's shared living with a private feel, giving you between 13.3 and 13.8 square metres that belong to you.
Your room comes complete with a private ensuite bathroom, a comfortable bed, a personal study area and ample storage. Efficient in-room comfort cooling means you set the temperature yourself, rather than negotiating it with the rest of the flat.
The shared kitchen and lounge are where a flat becomes a friendship group, and where the first conversations of term turn into plans. Beyond them, the vinyl lounge, games room and Mahjong rooms widen the circle, while the private dining rooms are there for the occasions that call for a bigger table. Every bill is included, so all that's left to settle is whose turn it is to cook.

2 Bed Deluxe Ensuite
Room description
The Deluxe 2 Bed Ensuite Water View keeps the numbers small. It's a 2-bedroom flat, so your kitchen and lounge are shared with a single flatmate, and your room overlooks Royal Albert Dock, the water that sent ships out into the world for a century.
The room itself measures from 11.6 to 15.4 square metres and comes with a private ensuite bathroom, a plush bed, a personal study area and ample storage, all finished to a premium standard, and in-room comfort cooling keeps it comfortable on warmer days. Look up from the work, and the dock is right outside.
A smaller flat means a calmer kitchen when deadlines land, and good company once they've passed. When you want a bigger crowd, the bar, event space and home cinema rooms are all within the building, and every bill is included.
