Looking for accommodation

Due to the increasingly fast-paced nature of housing in London, it is difficult to keep up with all the developments in best places to look, but we have listed a few of the most common places as a starting point

• Letting agents - There are a huge number of letting agents which vary by area. Try using a search engine with the name of the area you are looking in + 'letting agents' (eg 'Kings cross letting agents')
• Gumtree.com has a large propert section which can be narrowed by whether you are looking for a whole proprty or single rooms etc.
• Facebook has both marketplace where you can find listings, but also lots of groups you can join where people list rooms available
• Spareroom.co.uk
• Openrent.co.uk is direct with landlords and has some wider options (such as pets)
