The Toybox is a stylish Birmingham student accommodation located near Five Ways train station, with quick access to Aston University and Birmingham City University via public transport. Nearby is the Fiveways Entertainment Centre, a renowned entertainment venue for Birmingham's student population. The flat offers 290 rooms in both En-suite and Studio styles, with private bathrooms and amenities to help students settle into their new surroundings quickly. The flats have 24-hour security and a reception desk for students' safety.
Features
The Toybox offers 4 types of Studio and 6 types of En-suite rooms to suit the needs of students, with the En-suite offering separate bedrooms and bathrooms. In contrast, the shared kitchen and living room can be used as a space for roommates to socialise and learn from each other. At the same time, the Studio is more suited to those who prefer to be on their own, with a separate kitchen and living area and the freedom to enjoy a completely private living environment. In addition to the cosy rooms, the student accommodation has plenty of facilities in the communal areas. Quiet study rooms are perfect for students who prefer to revise alone, while those who like to exercise can burn off energy in the gym. And remember to check the website often for the cinema room schedule. If you find it too stuffy indoors, you can relax by walking in the courtyard.
Location and What's Hot?
The Toybox is located southwest of Birmingham City Centre, close to the Fiveways Entertainment Centre and within a 10-minute walk of leading supermarkets such as Tesco, Morrisons,and Sainsbury's. There's Del Villaggio, Nando's and Five Guys to choose from when it comes to eating out.
Even if you're away from the city centre, there's plenty of entertainment around The Toybox Birmingham. Cineworld Cinema and Grand Escape are a 6-minute walk away, the famous LEGOLAND Discovery Centre and National SEA LIFE Centre are a 16-minute walk away, and for those who like nature, Five Ways Community Park, Sunset Park and Peacock Park are just a few minutes away.

Of course. For locations with cluster apartments, it is easy to arrange bookings with friends. Just let us know who you would like to live with, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Please note that this depends on room availability, and booking in advance will make it easier to arrange.
How can I find out who I will be living with?
For privacy reasons, we won’t disclose names, but you can find out who you will be living with, such as their gender, grade, and school information, by checking the resident group shared before your move-in or asking your apartment team.
When can I move in?
About two months before your move-in date, you will be invited to schedule your move-in time. You can choose the time that works best for you. If you have any special requirements regarding accessibility or transportation arrangements, please let us know at that time.
Can we make a group reservation?

Do I need to pay any deposit?
Unlike other providers, we do not require a security deposit to secure your booking. However, we do require the rent to be paid in advance, which will be deducted from your first month's rent (you can think of it as a gift to yourself when September comes!).
What is the cancellation policy?
We have a 5-day "cooling-off period." This means that if you need to cancel your booking, you can do so within 5 days after signing the lease agreement, as long as you haven't moved in yet. If you need to cancel after the cooling-off period, we may allow cancellations in certain circumstances, such as if your UK visa is refused or you don't meet the requirements for your target university. Please make sure to provide the UCAS notice or visa refusal document within 72 hours of receiving the notification. You can also transfer your lease to another suitable tenant. If a suitable replacement is found, we will conduct a qualification review, and once approved, they will take over the lease agreement.

How should I pay the rent?
You can log in to the Concurrent Portal using your reference number and password to pay your rent. You can choose to pay via direct debit or bank transfer.
How can I pay rent as an international student?
As an international student, you can make payments via bank transfer (Transfermate) or credit card (please note that there may be transaction fees). For more information, please refer to your booking documents or contact your apartment team.
Can I bring pets?
Although we love pets, unfortunately, they are not allowed unless they are registered service animals. We apologize for any inconvenience!
Can I let guests stay in my room?
Sure, but please do not invite guests to stay for more than 3 nights, and make sure to confirm with your roommates first.
Will my student apartment be cleaned?
When you arrive, your student room and the shared areas of the apartment will be kept very clean. After that, the cleaning will be your responsibility. If you have any questions or need advice, please contact our apartment team.
How to report a maintenance issue?
If you need repairs, you can report any maintenance issues through the Concurrent App, and our apartment team will address your requests as soon as possible!
Can I smoke?
All of our student accommodations are smoke-free, including all types of e-cigarettes. You can smoke in the designated smoking areas outside the building or in the courtyard.
How to connect to the internet?
All our locations have wireless internet coverage throughout the building. Upon arrival, you just need to connect your device to the Wi-Fi. If you prefer, you can also choose to connect via Ethernet by plugging into the network wall socket in your room.
What items are prohibited on the premises?
For health and safety reasons, we do not allow the following items: candles, oil burners, deep fryers, and any electrical equipment that does not comply with UK standards and regulations. We also cannot accommodate electric scooters or similar items. Please do not bring these items, as you will be asked to remove them.
Will someone enter my room?
We will conduct room inspections three times a year and occasionally carry out health and safety checks. During these inspections, we will need to enter your room. However, we will inform you at least 24 hours in advance and knock on the door to introduce ourselves before entering.
How big is the refrigerator in the studio? Is there space for a freezer?
All the units come with a small refrigerator that has a freezer compartment.
Can I bring a rice cooker/electric pressure cooker?
Please avoid carrying these items (or items with similar voltage). Their high voltage is dangerous and may cause electric shocks.
Do you offer airport shuttle services?
We do not offer airport shuttle services. However, all our locations have convenient transportation connections. Depending on your location, you can take public buses, trains, and taxis.
Is there a lease takeover service? What is the application process?
Currently, we cannot guarantee that there will be takeover applications for leases in the future. Please contact our apartment team for the latest information.
