Study + vacations in London are
the occasion to combine studying the English language with an interesting life
experience. For some, studying is combined with vacation, maybe in the
summertime, while for others studying goes together with work and maybe they
will stay in London longer. It isn’t necessarily easy, but you will learn the
English language better and much more quickly.
The best accommodation for who would like to combine studying with a vacation in
London is a room in an apartment, to be shared with others. Accommodation in
homes are the most economical and beneficial solution for living in London
closest to other youngsters who have decided to have the same experience. If you
have selected intensive English courses in London, or if you can take advantage
of a longer stay, renting a room will allow you to be more independent, to delve
into the city’s daily life, to have your privacy but also to have company and
develop resources that you will treasure later on. |

How do “share renting” rooms
work in London?
You just rent a single or double room within an apartment; kitchen, living room,
bathroom/bathrooms are to be shared. You share the refrigerator, agree upon the
cleaning times etc. Usually expenses are included in the rent and every
apartment is furnished with everything needed to live (furniture, appliances,
tableware, blankets, etc.).
The rent is paid weekly. Everyone has the house keys and schedules are open.
Honestly, you won’t stay at home much, so it is well worth finding the right
place. Ask about costs that are included or not in the room’s price, the payment
rules and security deposit reimbursement (it is always required) and on the
distance of the dwelling unit to the subway (“tube”) or bus station and to the
main services (pubs, shops, etc.).
