    Ideas of accomodation in London

    I have an offer of a gig in London, and before I sign on the dotted line, was wondering about accomodation. I know several here use some sites, using peoples rooms whilst they are away working, and mon-fri shares. Has anyone got any links? I only need it until Mid Feb when one of my tenants leave.

    Thanks in advance.

    Very cheap cardboard boxes down under the bridge at Embankment.

    Good social life and a multi ethnic community.

    Keep your tech in your sleping bag though or it'll be nicked and sold to enable a crack purchase.

    Have fun.

            Thanks Guys and gals. Laterooms currently looking for £165 for a bloody holiday inn per night...

            I'll try this other one, but it looks like I'll be moving house week to week, which I'd like to avoid.

            Cheers

                Have alook at Staybridge Suites in Stratford (next to the Olympic Park and a couple of hundred meters from the underground) I got a good deal there plus the room includes kitchen, there is a gym but no pool but there is a laundrette and plenty of places to eat in the neighbourhood.
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  another +1 for airbnb without it I wouldn't have found accommodation in Zurich and competition for accommodation here in insane. Also SPARE ROOM for flatshare, house share, flat share & rooms for rent is pretty good at times, best of luck with it.

                    The Thames is nearby, and I'm sure you can find one of those park gyms near by.
