Places to rent, anyone?

A friend and I are planning a short trip to London this summer. (Possibly)
Any chance you know how much rent for 4 people (we're bringing the ladies, too) would set us back? We're thinking of getting a flat somewhere, maybe, for a week or so.

Any pointers are more than welcome.

Cheers, all.

You'd have thought I'd get more answers :P
Don't be afraid, I won't ask you to borrow me your lawn, and I bring my own cardboard box to live in :P

hawken · 09-05-2008, 05:06

well you onlY want it for a week. Get a hotel you cheap euro bastard

Mitch · 09-05-2008, 05:11

Emil, haven't a clue for short stays.

Gumtree would be a good bet, but be aware, most adverts are from estate agents, not private.

When you coming? You should try and coincide your visit with a Free event like Notting Hill Carnival or Rise Festival.

Free Summer Festivals in London â€“ London Summer Festivals, Free Festivals in London

p.s. We pay £850 pcm for a 1 bed flat, but it is a nice area with good links and amenities.

Mitch · 09-05-2008, 05:13

Hotels are cheap as chips at the weekends.

emil · 09-05-2008, 05:35

Cheers, Mitch. I don't know exactly when I'll be there, but I'll try to make sure I have something to see, too.

It's basically the guy who does my programming and me with the wives, so anything design/development related would be interesting, too.

Mitch · 09-05-2008, 05:43

Well, London Design Festival 2008 it is then...

13-23 September.

datahound · 09-05-2008, 06:12

If you are in London Emil I am certainly going to meet up with you. Not in London itself so can't help with accom but I am only 45 mins outside.

The Easy Hotels are supposed to be cheap?

Fuck me mitch, 850 for one bedroom! thats mad. U sharing??? Thats alot of dollar for one person.

Glad I dont live in london

emil · 09-05-2008, 06:22

Sure, Michael, I'd love to.

It doesn't really need to be cheap, but function of how much it'll cost us, we can determine when we come. From what i can tell about 1000 GBP (per couple) should cover for the plane and lodging.

Further tips are welcome.

It's me and the missus.

It's not a room, it's a 1 bed flat in a leafy london road in Ealing.

That was the bottom end of the 1 beds. Most nice flats were £1000+ PCM.

MikeMackay · 09-05-2008, 06:47

Ooh is this the basis of a London DT meet forming ?!

Mitch · 09-05-2008, 06:52

Yeah I would be up for that. Be nice to mix design with some Stella Artois in Shoreditch?

Jono can be the team beer leader.

JonoMarshall · 09-05-2008, 07:04

Awesome, I'll get a house party organised for the wee hours then...

d*d · 09-05-2008, 07:07

Can't really complain about london being too far away for a beer if Emils making the journey from Romania

emil · 09-05-2008, 07:13

Cool, see y'all September-ish then

Mitch · 09-05-2008, 07:22

d*d, you could get megabus for pennies, job done! Even GFW trains do it for £20 or £30 if you book in advance.

Lets get on it folks!
