    Hello everyone,

    I'm a 26-year old French guy, and I will be moving to London for a new job in October ! I am mostly concerned about finding affordable accommodation (a shared flat with 2 or 3 other people would be great) in central London. Do you have any idea what the cost of that could be ? I will be earning approximately £ 40,000 gross per year. Can I aspire to a centrally located shared flat with that salary ?

    Thanks !

    Guillaume

    You shouldn't have any problem flat-sharing with such a salary and it will give you a good opportunity to share experiences with your flatemates for your first steps in London. You will find information in our guide for flatsharing in London.

    Salut Guillaume,

    Je pense qu'effectivement tu n'auras pas de problèmes pour trouver quelque-chose avec ce salaire.
    Si jamais tu es toujours à la recherche fin octobre, je vais rechercher des colocs pour autour du 25/10. Je suis à côté de la station de métro Holloway Road, au nord en zone 2. Il y aura 2 chambres à louer, une à 500£ par mois et une plus grande à 600£. Sachant que les factures ne sont pas comprises (aux alentours de 70£/mois). Il y a un salon, une salle de bain, une cuisine, des wc séparés et 2 terrasses super sympas quand il fait beau. C'est une rue calme mais il y a toutes les commodités aux alentours (supermarchés, banques, cinéma, divers magasins, pubs et restaurants). Let me know if you want to visit the flat once you'll be here!

    Good luck !
