Why choose Richmond Park?
Within your flat, you'll have a large kitchen with everything you'll need to prepare your meals. Kitchens come with a large dining table that is perfect for socialising with your flatmates.
As you're on the Fallowfield campus, you'll also have easy access to the University's Armitage Sports Centre, cafe Brewed and an on-site bar. You'll also be close to the vibrant suburb of Fallowfield and its bars, restaurants and shops.
We are currently redeveloping parts of the Fallowfield campus, including building new halls on the site of the old Owens Park Hall, Oak House and eventually Woolton Hall. At varying times, this will create some disturbance to varying parts of the site. We will continue to work with the contractor to minimise the impact on residents, but you should bear this in mind when accepting an offer of accommodation at Richmond Park.
