Staying at The Helix in Wembley Park has been an incredible experience! The accommodation is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed for students. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of storage and a great study space. The communal areas are fantastic – perfect for relaxing or socializing with friends.
