We cannot speak highly enough about Greenbank—and neither can our students! Located just three miles from campus and served by the dedicated 699 bus route, Greenbank offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful retreat surrounded by private parkland, just a 15-minute journey from campus. Nearby Lark Lane, Rose Lane, Allerton Road, and Smithdown provide a fantastic selection of bars, cafés, and shops.
At Greenbank, student life is front and centre. The Halls Life Team organizes events ranging from flat-based activity packs for cozy nights to large outdoor festivals that make the most of Greenbank’s incredible space. Residents also enjoy access to a free gym, outdoor sports facilities, and fantastic communal spaces.
Greenbank is divided into three sites: Derby, Roscoe, and Derby Old Court. Derby and Roscoe feature modern, purpose-built student accommodation, while Derby Old Court offers something truly unique. This beautiful listed building has been carefully renovated for students, with each room boasting individual character—a stunning and special place to call home.
The University offers heavily discounted bus passes through Arriva, available for just £55 per student—saving you an impressive £365. Greenbank is also the only hall with on-site parking, available for £155 per year. Spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with further details provided closer to your arrival.
