Living in London > Expensive Student Rent

Expensive Rent

Due to the extremely high cost of renting in London many students find themselves either sharing rooms or using living/reception rooms as bedrooms.

If you are considering either of the above then I would give the following advice:

  • If you are looking to have a living room as a bedroom then make sure its not a connecting room. If you have to go through the living room to get to the kitchen then it will never work, even if you think it will.
  • After having the experience of sharing a room I would always recommend against it unless you really can’t afford a single room. Having someone else in the same room limits your privacy more than you can possibly imagine and you will never have the same sleeping pattern as your room mate.
