We strongly recommend looking for your accommodation before a departure to London. Living in London is very expensive and you have to be prepared to pay minimum £40/50 a week for your stay. Of course the price depends on many factors, like: conditions of property, economic location /which zone, number of people living there. Another important thing is that most landlords will not rent a place without a deposit-minimum 1 week deposit is required, although usually it is equal to your 2 weeks or one month rent, and should be given back to you when you leave according to the terms agreed in the contract.

- Try to find a place with people from different countries. It's a proven way to learn languages faster.

- Find number of people living there, number of toilets or size of a kitchen. Seven people living in a place with only one bathroom and a small kitchen will cost you lots of nerves and you can be sure you will late to work quite often. 

- Location of a property is an important factor. Sometimes it is much faster to travel to work from zone 3 to zone 1 than from one side of zone 1 to another.

- If you spend a little bit more on your rent, you will get a much better place.

- Living in a property where landlord does not require any deposit or only a small one is often uncomfortable and can prove to be very stressful. Places like that are messy, and people are moving in and out all the time. Try to save money enough to look for more comfortable place. Generally speaking, the higher deposit you pay the higher standard of your accommodation is.

- Most advertisements refer to double rooms. Single rooms are expensive and, unless you have got enough money you will need to share your room with someone else. If you haven’t got a room mate yet, try finding him/her in our services offer (data base).
