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.
