If you are sitting at your kitchen table wondering whether you can actually afford to live in London as a student, you are not asking a theoretical question. You are asking whether university is financially possible for you.

The maintenance loan does account for where you live. 📍 London students qualify for a higher maximum than students studying anywhere else in England. For 2026/27, that figure reaches £13,762 for eligible students living away from home in the capital. How much you actually receive depends on your household income, and knowing the thresholds in advance makes a real difference to your planning.

A mature woman in her late thirties sits at a kitchen table in a modest UK flat, looking over printed paperwork and a laptop. The scene is lit by warm evening light coming through a nearby window, creating a calm but thoughtful atmosphere. The photography style is documentary and editorial, with natural shadows and muted warm tones that feel authentic rather than staged. Aspect ratio 16:9 horizontal, suitable for a 1200x630 Facebook feed post. Photorealistic editorial photography style, not illustrated.
