Shared apartments, spare rooms, and roommates in London

Living in a shared flat is one of the most popular alternatives for international students in London. Not only does it offer a multicultural environment, but it’s also more affordable. Rent in London can be pretty high, so many students opt for single rooms or even shared rooms to save money. When deciding between the two, remember that a single room is your own personal space in a shared apartment where common areas are communal. However, shared rooms are a great alternative if your monthly budget is tight.

Advantages and disadvantages of sharing a flat in London

Here are some pros and cons of living in a shared flat in the British capital:

Advantages of sharing a flat in London

  • Sharing a flat is cheaper than renting a whole apartment, which means you can look for places in better locations, like closer to the city centre or your university. If not, look for a place with good public transport connections.
  • You’ll have friends from the start to explore London’s rich cultural scene, and saving on rent means more money to enjoy the city.
  • Living in a shared apartment with students from around the world means you’ll learn about different cultures and improve your English since it’s the language most students use to communicate.
  • London’s weather is often cloudy and rainy, and living with supportive and fun flatmates can help lift your spirits on gloomy days.

Disadvantages of sharing a flat in London

  • Some shared flats in London, especially those where the owner doesn’t live on-site, can be in poor condition.
  • Single rooms are usually small, so personal space can be limited.

International student Apps for your exchange programme in London

Make the most of your experience in London by using apps designed for international students. These apps offer valuable advice and information on necessary procedures and city life. Some student unions have their own apps, which can be incredibly useful.

How to meet people in London

Connecting with your roommates upon arrival is a great start, but here are more options to meet people in London:

Student associations in London

Most universities in the English capital have student associations, known as Student Unions, where you can meet other young people. These associations often cater to international students or specific interests, allowing you to connect with others in similar situations. You can also join ESN City London for more networking opportunities.

Facebook groups for international students in London

Facebook groups are a great way to meet people who share your interests. You can also get information about city life and necessary procedures. Join groups based on your academic year or general ones like ESN City London.

WhatsApp groups for students in London

Some associations and Facebook groups, such as ESN, have WhatsApp groups where you can introduce yourself, share information, meet other students, and stay updated on events and activities in London.

Tips for living in a shared apartment in London

Here are some tips when renting in the British capital:

  • Some rooms in London can be small. Check photos carefully and try to choose a room with an exterior window to get some daylight when it’s not raining.
  • The demand for rooms in shared flats in London is very high. If you find the perfect place, don't wait too long to book it! You can use the Erasmus Play search engine to make a safe, online reservation.
  • Utility bills and municipal taxes are sometimes not included in the rent. Make sure to check this to calculate your total monthly expenses accurately.
  • Rooms can be part of an apartment, a residence, or even a renovated loft that used to be a commercial space.
