London universities - quick query!

I'm hoping someone with DC at a London uni might be able to advise on this.

The student finance pages on gov.uk say that students living away from parents and attending a London university may be eligible to a larger student loan.

However, I can't find a list of which universities they count as 'London'.

Some are really obvious. But what about places like Kingston, which is on the outskirts but still (according to my Googling; apologies if I am incorrect) a London borough???

Does anyone know if there's a list?
If you have DC at Kingston University, do they get the higher amount?

Thanks :-)

Is there anything on the Kingston website? They usually have a finance section?

@Asher33 Thank you - you have managed to solve the query! I had missed a single line that referred to it but it was there.

For the record, in case anyone else is in the same position, yes - Kingston counts as London for student finance purposes.

Yes it is considered London and it's quite a pricey area too. You need to look on their website - that's what I just did after googling Kingston University funding information. Sorry I don't know how to link the page.
