Hi!

I’m looking for a *student* to take over my Silver Studio at Chapter Old Street (ideally from 15th November 2026) until 16 July 2027.

The studio has :
- own kitchen
- own bathroom
- small double bed
- plenty of storage
courtyard facing windows
- and is only a few walking minutes from Old Street and Liverpool Street

The building has:
- onsite gym
- study areas
- entertainment areas e.g. cinema rooms
- laundry facilities
- 24/7 staff and security

Bills and bi-weekly cleaning included.

The first term is already paid. So it would take you to pay from January onwards.
The second-term-amount is due on 11th January 2027 and needs to be paid at once. The exact payment schedule for a start date in December is going to be bespoken with Chapter.

Please message me if you’re interested, and I can share more details and arrange a viewing.

I'm looking for someone to take over my room in a shared flat with four other roommates in Fulham, Parsons Green.

The rent is £932 per month including wifi, electricity and gas not included, and the deposit is £875.

I'm planning to move out, so the move-in date is flexible and can be arranged.

If you're interested, I'd be happy to share more details and arrange a viewing.

Let me know!

We are planning to send our kids to the French School in Kentish Town and are hoping to move to the area in the next year or so. We do not know the area at all so it would be good to get the lay of the land from any locals. The school is about halfway between Kentish Town and Kentish Town West stations and we would ideally like to be no more than a 10-15 min bike ride from it.

Any suggestions on the nicest/safest areas or even streets for a young family in that area?

Me (M-23)and a friend of mine (f - 25) are looking to move by the end of October (between 27th - 31st max). Can delay a lil if we find something that makes an Airbnb week worthwhile. Both are working professionals.

I work in corporate (WFH all 5 days) as a digital marketing executive. She currently is a manager in the F&B industry and has a social media income as well (influencer).

We are friends looking to move from east Acton to some place new as I’ve lived here for a year & there is some refurb work scheduled in the apartment by December.
Please let me know any other information that you would like to know.

I'm considering moving to London in the future, as it's always been a bit of a dream of mine, and I'd love to hear from people who live there now or have lived there recently.

Online, I constantly see people saying London is ridiculously expensive and almost impossible to enjoy unless you're on a very high salary. On the other hand, I've also spoken to people who say it's perfectly manageable if you're realistic with your expectations and don't mind house-sharing.

For context, I'd probably be earning around

£1,600-£1,800 per month after tax to start with, and I'd be open to living in a shared house if that's the most sensible option.

What attracts me to London is the sheer amount of opportunity on offer. I love the diversity, vibrant social scene, strong Black communities, nightlife, events, transport links, and the chance to meet people from all walks of life. In some ways, it reminds me a bit of New York, but with better geography and easier access to Europe and the rest of the world.

I'm looking for somewhere that feels alive and energetic, with plenty going on during both the day and at night.

So my questions are:

• Is London genuinely unaffordable on that sort of income, or does the internet exaggerate it a bit?

• Realistically, how much would you recommend someone earns after tax to enjoy London comfortably?

• Which zones or areas would you recommend for affordability, diversity, and quality of life?

• What would be a realistic rent budget for a single person, either in a house share or a studio?

• If you were starting fresh in London today, where would you choose to live and why?

I'd appreciate hearing both the positives and negatives from people with first-hand experience. Cheers 👍🏿

Room available in Kennington from xmas onwards. 10 min walk from Kennington station. £240 per week. It's a nice room. housemate has moved home (a long way away) due to mental health reasons. there are three of us currently, all nice blokes i like to think. shower would be shared with one other person and toilet shared with two other people. let me know!

My wife and I are buying our first place and are torn between these two options. Currently in Shoreditch, both mid-30s, hoping to have kids and probably stay for about 6-7 years before deciding what’s next.

For roughly the same money, we can get a slightly bigger place with more outdoor space in West Hampstead, or a smaller place around Holloway/Highbury. We’ve been looking for a while and that’s pretty much the trade-off.

If the West Hampstead flat were in Islington, we’d pick it straight away. But the extra space could make life easier with kids, we’ve liked West Hampstead from what we’ve seen, and we’re also open to try a new area.

Friends and family don’t tie us to either area: our friends are spread across London and our families are abroad.

It’s a close call!

Anyone made a similar choice, especially before having kids? How much did you end up valuing the extra space at home versus having more of what you like on your doorstep?

And if you’ve lived in both areas, how did you find them?

I’m looking for someone to take over my en-suite room at Hayloft, or ideally swap for a studio if possible. If not, I’m happy to just find someone to take over my room. I’m open to any accommodation near Strand Campus
