Short Term Housing
University Halls of Residence
The University of London offers Bed and Breakfast accommodation in eight Intercollegiate Halls of Residence. The student bedrooms are available to book throughout the summer months by visitors and groups, with accommodation available to visitors in some halls during term-time as well. Room types, prices and availability varies.
The Central enquiry point for the Intercollegiate Halls of Residence is: 020 7862 8881
Inexpensive Hotels
We have a list of hotels offering single rooms. All the hotels listed offer some single rooms at less than £70 per night for bed and breakfast.
Hostels
Hostels are often the cheapest way to stay in London, if you are prepared to share a room. Dorm rooms can be found for as little as £10-12 per night. If you want to have your own room, you should expect to pay double this.
Flats and Houses Short Lets
If you are looking to rent a flat or house for less than the normal 6 months then an agency with a short lets department can assist you. They are able to offer flats and houses on an all inclusive basis for a shorter than usual period, typically starting from 4 weeks and up to 6 months.
Independent/Private Halls
Some private and independent Halls now offer short term lets for students during termtime. Unlike University Hall places you do not apply through your College for these places but can contact the Hall directly.
