Noisette is a fully-equipped, modern home with brand new appliances, and a light, well-designed space. It has both fantastic views and no less than three balconies, which is a perfect extension of the living space in the summer months.

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.

Students can find shared housing opportunities through online platforms, classified ads, or student accommodation websites.
Student Housing Cooperatives: Student housing cooperatives are student-run housing communities that provide affordable and cooperative living arrangements for students. Members of the cooperative collectively manage the housing and participate in decision-making processes. Cooperatives often emphasize values such as affordability, sustainability, and community engagement.
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.
