Portobello Road might be famous for its markets and shops selling antiques and vintage clothing, but this apartment on an adjoining street is all about the here and now. It's found in a new apartment block and there are no renovated period interiors here — just a sleek white kitchen, wooden floors throughout and large floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the sunshine inside. Our favourite feature had to be the balcony with a pleasant view out over a local park, which would be a lovely spot on which to enjoy a late-morning brunch. However, if you don't fancy cooking, the cafes and restaurants of Notting Hill are a ten-minute saunter from your front door. Alternatively, if you're up for a longer walk, you can walk along the canal until you reach Little Venice, which will take you less than an hour. *There's a cot and high chair available if required\n*Access to the balcony is made through one of the bedrooms, so you might hav...

And no visit here is complete without a wander through Walthamstow Market (allegedly the longest market in Europe) to meet the cockney locals. *You'll share an entrance to the apartment building \n*This home is located on the second floor without lift access, so be prepared to climb some stairs\n*Your host politely asks you to respect the neighbours and keep the noise down, especially after 10 pm\n*Please use indoor shoes/slippers, if possible \n*The balcony's mesh screen to steer off birds isn't the most attractive, s...

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.
