Rent near Whipps Cross

Your own studio, one bus from Whipps Cross. The Altham in Walthamstow is home to NHS staff, postgraduates and professionals who want their own space and less admin. Bills, Wi-Fi, gym and co-working are all included in one monthly rent payment.

Somewhere to switch off

Long shifts deserve a proper place to come home to. Whether you're a nurse, a resident doctor, a midwife or on placement at Whipps Cross, your studio has its own kitchen and bathroom. That means no queue for the shower after a night shift. The 230 bus runs from Blackhorse Road, right outside the building, to the Whipps Cross roundabout, a short walk from the hospital's main entrance.

All included. Nothing to set up.

Your rent covers water, heating, electricity and 250Mbps Wi-Fi, so it's one payment a month and nothing to sort out between shifts. The gym, co-working floors, meeting rooms, cinema room and rooftop terrace are all yours to use. Our 24/7 concierge takes in your parcels while you're at work.
