Accommodation

Short term students
A basic single room in a central London hotel costs from GBP60 per night. From late June to early September, university halls of residence are open to public. They are often centrally located and more economical than a hotel.

Long term students
Generally, overseas students would stay with a London family for the first 2~3 months of their arrival. After getting used to the life in London and the language, they would on to flatshare or living alone.

Flatshare can be found through word of mouth, newspaper adverts such as Loot and Evening Standard, and accommodation agencies.

A room in a shared flat/house costs from GBP80 per week plus utility bills and council tax. You will usually have your own furnished bedroom, shared kitchen, bathroom and lounge. When you move in, usually you will pay a deposit (equivalent of four weeks rent) and four weeks rent in advance.

One bedroom flat in central London costs from GBP250 per week plus bills. Elsewhere in London, the rent starts around GBP150.
