    No one knows for sure whether they have a single ensuite at bankside or just a single.

    If there are any postgrad students looking for accomodation outside of LSE halls, anyone willing to share any tips on where you're looking? London's just too big for me to get my head around

    I just got Bankside single too, but it's really too pricey for me and i would prefer a cheaper option. Passfield, Rosebery or Carr Sauders or even other cheaper ones. I really need help here and might consider twin-sharing too! Do reply or inbox me. Thank youu!

    Is anyone looking for accommodation for the summer? I have to move out of my room in Sidney Webb earlier than I thought and I have to find someone to take it over from the 6th August to the 15th September. Its a single ensuite room, 25 pounds a night.

    Hey there,

    I am looking a student to live with me and my friend in an apartment in Central London between Holborn and Covent Garden, near London School of Economics. We are both students at london and are looking for a new housemate!

    The total weekly amount is approximately £230 per week, including bills and with this you get an unbeatable location. A secure and pleasant place to live!

    If you are interested or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you wish to exchange contact details, please use the Private Messaging system.

    Kind Regards,

    Mikael

    How come LSE do not state the weekly rate on Hallpad when you get your offer and pay the deposit. Has any one else experienced this? I've got Carr Saunders.

    Been offer a single room in Butler's Wharf (shame, I hate Judith Butler but still the residence has BUTLER). It is very cheap 116-123 ppw but the only problem is the long distance from the uni. I prefer to swap any single room from Rosebery, CS and Passfield. If you don't mind the distance and are interested, please contact me. cheers.

    Hi!
    I have a single room in Tower Bridge - new accommodation opening this year. Have anybody heard anything about it? What are its possible pros and cons, do you think it is a good choice (actually, I wanted to live closer to LSE, TB is ~35 min walk, but probably it's still worth it)? I would appreciate your advise a lot as I am new to London!
    G'luck with your search!

    Hey guys,

    I only recently got my offer from LSE. I figure that my chances for LSE accommodation are next to nil, so I will have to find private accommodation. Since I'm in the US and there are only a couple of months left till the start of classes, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who's found a place and needs a flat mate. Thanks.

    If you are struggling to find somewhere you could alternatively consider private student halls? My brother goes with Opal (in Manchester) but i know they have lots of halls around London too

    How do you know that you have an en-suite ?
    I thought banksiders only find out about en-suite when they get there.

    I thought you couldn't switch rooms between intercollegiate and LSE halls?

    Hey, thanks for the reply. Have been looking at private halls around London, a bit too expensive though, and besides the costs at this point in time there are not alot of halls that have rooms available.
