Why work with us?

We completely understand that booking accommodation for another country, online can be a daunting experience. Many of our team have studied or worked abroad and have been in exactly the same situation as you are now. Our advice is that when booking accommodation online it is essential that you book with a reputable company you can trust. We have been helping students find accommodation in London since 2009 and over the years have assisted thousands of happy students, trainees and interns to find accommodation in London. We are a UK registered limited company (registration number 07332845) and work with some of the most reputable language schools, internship agencies and universities in London and beyond.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our accommodation as well as delivering high levels of service and attention to detail to our customers and partners.

Our aim

It is our aim to change the way student accommodation is provided in London. We want to earn the lifetime loyalty of our customers whether they be schools, students or training providers by consistently delivering high standards of accommodation, customer service and communication.

Our values

Safety – We promise to provide safe, comfortable accommodation in good areas of London.
Price – We live and work in London and understand that it can be an expensive city. However, we promise to offer accommodation that is at a reasonable price for our customers, but is also fair to our hosts and other accommodation suppliers.
Integrity – We promise to provide honest, objective information on our accommodation, prices and services.
People – Our staff are the core of our business and we are very proud to be part of a hard-working team. We promise to ensure our staff are well-trained and work in a professional, comfortable, fun environment. Our staff will be treated with respect and dignity while still being able to laugh and enjoy their work.
Knowledge – We promise that we will use our experience and knowledge of London to not just match people to the accommodation that happens to be available at the time but to take into consideration their individual requirements and reasons for coming to London, and match them to the most suitable accommodation options available.
