What can you do?

If you are looking to live in student accommodation (often referred to as “halls”), the LSE Accommodation team can assist you with applying for and booking halls vacancies. You can also search for student accommodation including student homes, flats and lodgings via London StudentPad.

If you are looking to rent a room in the private sector (i.e. not student specific), there are a number of ways you can do this. You could either go direct to an estate agents or search via a listing site. There are numerous sites which list rental vacancies, two of the more common are SpareRoom and Zoopla.

Before considering privately renting, please read the University of London's Private Housing Guide. It has all the information you need on how to rent safely.


What can we do?

Our advisers are more than happy to have a look at any housing contracts before you sign them to see if there is anything unusual or concerning, as well as answer any questions you may have. Remember not to sign anything unless you are 100% comfortable with it and understand the contract fully. Unfortunately, our advisers cannot assist with searches for accomodation.
