Accommodation in London

  • Dormitory-style rooms in Zone 1 (single rooms, twin shares, triple shares and four bed dorms).
  • Studio-style rooms in Zone 1.
  • Shared housing in Zones 2-3.
  • Boutique hotel accommodation.

*Shared housing and Studio-style rooms are in high demand so can be limited in availability.

Our partners have allocated 250 beds in Zone 1 for us, which is the rate between new arrivals and departing travellers. This type of accommodation is centrally located in the heart of London and is an all-inclusive dormitory property. You will be sharing with other Australians and New Zealanders on the Jumpstart, as well as international University Students.

Only one week’s deposit is required to secure your bed pre-departure, and then rent is paid on a weekly basis. Only one week’s notice is required to leave your accommodation.

Features of this accommodation:

  • All Bills included as well as high-speed Wifi and SkyTV and Contents Insurance.
  • Laundry Facilities.
  • Shared Bathrooms.
  • Reception assistance.
  • Opportunity to volunteer at the property and stay rent-free!

There is a loyalty scheme in place if you're room sharing here - The longer you stay, the cheaper your rent gets - ask us for more info.

We have exclusive access to 20 shared houses and flats in East and West London, all within a 25 to 35-minute commute on the tube to central London.

Features of our shared housing accommodation:
  • Rent includes all bills and free wifi.
  • Rent paid weekly.
  • Only two weeks notice to leave.
  • No huge upfront costs - the bond is equal to 2 weeks’ rent.
  • No long-term leases or lock-in contracts.
  • Not liable to cover rent for other rooms if housemates move out.

Please note: Availability in our shared housing is limited. If this type of accommodation is your preference, you will start in one of the other types of accommodation on arrival (so you’ve got a bed guaranteed for your move-in when you touch down), and then once you are here, you will go on a waiting list. When there is a room available, and it is your turn on the waitlist, the property team will contact you to set up a viewing. You can go check out the room, and if you prefer it to your current accommodation, sign a tenant agreement for the house and make the swap to shared housing.

Shared housing is in high demand in London. On average there are about 30 people on a waiting list. You will start the program in our city rooms or the Sir Alfred Hitchcock Hotel, this way, When there is a room available, and it is your turn on the waitlist, the property team will contact you to set up a viewing. You can go check out the room, and if you prefer it to your current accommodation, sign a tenant agreement for the house and make the swap to shared housing.

We partner with a boutique 3-star hotel to provide you with an option for hotel-style accommodation in London. The Sir Alfred Hitchcock Hotel is located in Leytonstone, East London. You can stay in a single ensuite room, or double ensuite room and pay rent on a week-by-week basis. To secure this type of room you must pay your first week of rent pre-departure.
