You only have to look at the number of rooftop bars in the UK's capital to see how much Londoners love being up among the city's iconic skyline and this Chinatown apartment lets you get in on the fun. Here, guests get access to a private terrace with plenty of seating so you can kick back and relax above the hustle and bustle of Soho below. The interior of this home is equally impressive in our books. Quirky artwork and house plants add pops of colour against the stark white walls in the living space and bedrooms, while the honeycomb-tiled bathrooms are as sleek as they come, too. There's a spacious minimalist kitchen and a chic glass dining table, but given the location and the countless restaurants that in the locale, we wouldn't be surprised if these remain unused. As well as plenty of places to eat, the main row of West End theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue sits at the top of the street, while Leicester Square and its cinemas are three...

Beyond that, this home is a delightful base, with a striking open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space with skylights and sliding doors leading to a charming garden. It's suitable for long-term stays too. *Bedroom three is equipped with a raised bed. It’s high to the ceiling so there isn’t much space. We think it’s better suited to children and young adults. A single sofa bed from the living space can be set up in this bedroom. *At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living space. This bed can be set up in bed...

We were instantly impressed with the fantastic location, close to both Bond Street and Oxford street, so you are right in the centre of the city, with great restaurants and shopping on your doorstep. We would bear in mind that the location means the home is in a lively area, and while it has double glazed windows, some street noise can be heard. * Measuring at 10mbps, it's not the fastest wi-fi * While there is a smart TV with Netflix streaming, there are not many additional entertainment options * This is a lively area and the home is above a busy street * There is a restaurant with outside tables opposite the home, this may cause additional noise in the summer months * Guests seeking lived-in charm would be better suited in another home Amazon Prime Bathtub Buzzer / Wireless Intercom...

We love how bright it is here, and the sleek design only adds to the roomy feeling. But what we love most is the location. Bloomsbury is known as London's literary hub, so bookworms will be right at home browsing the independent bookstores and following in the footsteps of icons like Virginia Woolf and Charles Dickens. Pick up a coffee from a local cafe as you make your way towards The British Museum, a thirteen-minut...
The trend for minimalist interior design shows no sign of disappearing anytime soon and you can see why it remains so popular when you come across an example of it done so well — as is the case with this Chelsea apartment mere steps away from Sloane Square. With a glossy kitchen (which comes well-stocked with culinary gear), a marbled bathroom, and a roomy living area with huge windows overlooking the leafy gardens and tree-lined streets, this place just feels super chic. It's the little touches we appreciate — the print artwork on the walls, the velvet dining chairs and the decorative mantle in the living area. Most of all, though, we adore the exclusive location.

Yes, foreigners can rent longer stay rentals in London. Renting accommodation in London as a foreigner is a common practice, and there are generally no legal restrictions preventing foreigners from renting apartments or other types of housing for extended periods.
When renting a longer stay rental in London as a foreigner, you will typically be required to provide certain documents and meet specific requirements, similar to what is expected of local residents. These requirements may include:
Identification: You will need to provide a valid form of identification, such as a passport or national identity card.
Proof of Income: Landlords often require proof of income to ensure that you can afford the rent. This may include pay stubs, employment contracts, or bank statements. Alternatively, if you're a student or unemployed, you might need a guarantor who can provide proof of income.
References: Some landlords may request references from previous landlords or employers to vouch for your reliability as a tenant. If you don't have UK-based references, international references may suffice.
Security Deposit: You will likely be asked to pay a security deposit, typically equivalent to one or two months' rent, which is refundable at the end of the tenancy if the property is in good condition.
Rental Contract: You will need to sign a tenancy agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. It's essential to review the contract carefully before signing and to ensure that you understand your rights and obligations as a tenant.
Residence Status: While being a foreigner doesn't necessarily prevent you from renting in London, you might need to demonstrate your legal right to reside in the UK. This could include having a valid visa, residency permit, or other relevant documentation.
It's also worth noting that some landlords or rental agencies may have specific requirements or preferences, so it's essential to inquire about the rental process and any necessary documentation when searching for accommodation in London as a foreigner. Working with a reputable real estate agency or rental platform can help facilitate the rental process and ensure that you find suitable accommodation.

Temporary Accommodation: For students who are still searching for long-term housing or need temporary accommodation upon arrival in London, options like hostels, Airbnb rentals, or short-term apartment leases can provide a temporary solution while they secure more permanent housing.
When considering student housing options in London, it's essential to consider factors such as location, cost, amenities, safety, and compatibility with your lifestyle and preferences. It's also advisable to research and book accommodation well in advance, particularly during peak periods, to secure the best options.
