London rent

[marryme]

What is a resonable rent figure when staying just outside of London? What other costs do I have to consider? I am hoping to get a place within easy reach of the tube station, prefer a 1 bedroom apartment/studio, and what are the best sites to look for a place for January next year?

It'll depend very much on where you want to be. I've put a link below to places around East Finchley tube station. This is right on the Northern Line, straight into central London, takes about 25 minutes. You're looking at about �150 per week minimum round here, and Council Tax will be about �600 plus a year on top of that.

I've had a quick look at other areas of London and it looks like you'd struggle to find any studio or 1-bed flat for less than �100 per week.

I hope this helps you

Good luck
