Are you going to study in the English capital and are searching for student rentals in London? Here’s everything you need to know: details about the flats and rooms available, the most convenient locations to search for flats, availability of student residences, and answers to the most frequently asked questions by students.

*Last update:

The first thing we recommend, although you probably already know it, is to begin looking for accommodation in London as soon as possible. It’s one of the favourite cities of international students and also hosts many young English people who move from other cities to experience the capital.

Student apartments in London for rent

Renting an entire flat is not really the first option among exchange students in London because of the paperwork required to rent one. However, flats may have multiple rooms (meaning the rental cost and expenses are divided among everyone living there) or may be studio apartments (compact for one person or a couple).

All student flats in London usually come fully furnished and equipped with basic appliances, such as a microwave, fridge, and sometimes washing machine.

Studios and one bedroom apartments have a higher cost but offer more privacy and independence. Plus, these apartments can also be part of student residences, where you can also share some common areas with other residents.

Student rooms in London for rent

Spare rooms for rent in London can be part of a shared student apartment or student residences. Generally, the former are more affordable, as residences often offer extra amenities and facilities that increase the rental cost.

Most rooms come furnished with everything you need to move in, such as a bed, desk, chair, and closet. However, check their features carefully, as sometimes bedding is not included and you’ll need to bring your own.

Student accommodation in London

There are different areas to live in London. Here are the most popular ones and why so many students choose them:

Flats for rent in East London

East London is one of the cheapest areas to live in, as it's a bit further from the city centre. It includes interesting neighbourhoods like Stratford, Plaistow, Hackney, Dalston, and Bethnal Green, among others. Many students look for flats to rent in Greenwich because of its good location. East London offers good public transport connections to the city centre, which you can reach usually in 25 minutes by metro.

Apartments in South London

South London is known for its lively vibe, making it attractive to students. With a rich cultural life filled with cafés, bars, and artistic spaces, it’s perfect for both fun and study. South London offers a range of affordable accommodation options, which is key if you’re on a budget. This area is home to several universities and colleges, facilitating access to educational institutions and creating a vibrant student community. Consider neighbourhoods like Brixton, Clapham, Walworth, and Peckham, as they have excellent transport connections with the rest of the English capital.

Rooms for rent in North London

North London is very popular among young professionals and students, with plenty of wonderful bars, cafés, and cinemas. Areas like Islington and Camden Town are known for their lively atmosphere. Also, if you don't mind living a bit further out, consider areas like Hendon, Kilburn, or Finchley, where rental prices are slightly lower.

Erasmus accommodation near the University of London

The University of London’s main campus is centrally located, between Fitzroys and Bloomsbury. If you want to live nearby, you should start your search early, as rent in these areas tends to be high.

Here's more information about the University.

Student residences in London

One of the most popular types of international student accommodation in London are student residences. In the English capital, students can choose between university-owned residences, which are usually close to campuses and offer basic amenities, and private residences, which often provide more modern and luxurious facilities. University residences are generally more affordable and help students integrate into the community. On the other hand, private residences offer more independence and can be located in various parts of the city, allowing you to explore more of London.

If you want to know more about student residences in London and their characteristics, check out this article we wrote about them. We gathered the most important details, including their pros and cons, so you can decide which student residence in London is the ideal for you.

Erasmus accommodation in London

Even though the United Kingdom isn’t a member of the Erasmus+ programme as a “Programme Country” anymore, there are still some universities and institutions that keep participating in it. It’s true, the number of opportunities are much more limited, but there are still some options available. So, you can still find Erasmus accommodation in London, in case you’re going on an exchange to England’s capital with that programme! You'll find lots of international student accommodation in London, including Erasmus apartments, rooms, and studios for rent.
