Student accommodation
There is a wide variety of student accommodation in central London and its suburbs, from halls of residences and flat shares to studio flats and penthouses with views of the city.
Most large London universities and colleges provide halls of residence accommodation for students. However, halls of residences can be very popular and are often over-subscribed.
Alternatively you could rent from one of London's many private landlords and organisations. Read the London Student Housing Guide for more information.
You can also look for a host family with London Homestays. Stay with a British family in their home and practise your English in friendly and safe accommodation.
Cost: Average student rents in London are approximately £150 per week but you can find cheaper. Costs vary depending on your location and choice of house. Many students share accommodation to reduce costs.
Remember, you will need to arrange accommodation before you arrive in the UK, even if it is only temporary.

Tip - London is a big city. The closer to the city centre you live (zone 1 and 2), the higher your rent is likely to be. Study the London transport maps to find cheaper accommodation in zones 3-6 while still having easy access to your university.
