London Apartment Rentals

Finding appropriate and affordable furnished apartments in London can be a nightmare. For visitors staying more than a few days, it makes good sense to rent a furnished apartment: it is (or should be) cheaper than a hotel, and it lets you really live in the capital, rather than simply pass through it as a mere tourist.

Short-term stays are relatively easy to arrange. However, the longer the stay, and the larger the apartment (two bedroom apartments are a rare find), the harder it is to find a solution. And if you are picky about your location, well, the going gets tough very quickly. Finally, if you have the misfortune of living on a less-than-Gatesian budget (ah, those sabbatical salaries!), you need to look extra hard. The good news for students is that London has quite a range of affordable studio apartments for medium- and long-term rental.

The job of London Apartment Rentals (LAR) is to make the search process simpler. LAR is not an agency, and we accept no commissions: we merely provide information about agencies and listing services, and we then let you duke it out with the other party. (We do accept a few ads on this site to help pay the bills, but there is a firewall between the ads and our content: we simply don't care what the advertisers say!) We also provide an advice page.
