The best time to look for the best student housing in London starts in October or November of the previous year. It'll be better to start your search as soon as you accept the offer from your destination university, to have a wider selection of international student accommodation options and to secure the best deals. Although there will be student accommodation available all year round, this is when landlords and London student accommodation providers begin advertising available properties for the upcoming academic year. First-year and international students generally start looking in January for student halls or shared housing in London. Start early if you want to book affordable accommodation in London!
