Do they give relocation bonus to London summer interns?

Hi all, I decided to use a throwaway account. I'm a first year student in a UK non-target and I have solid chances of getting a first. This summer I will start applying for summer internships for 2019 and even though my odds are technically slim to get into a BB or Boutique I'm worried about relocating costs. If I get an offer, I would not be able to afford to relocate to London and I was wondering whether they give sign-up bonus for relocating or something like that. In addition to relocating costs, there's also the need for appropriate clothes and I'm really worried...

P.S I will work this summer but there's no way I have savings left for summer 2019. If I work part-time during my second year I'll maybe be able to save up a bit but then I may lose my chance because it will probably affect my grades and I'll drop from a first to a 2.1.

yes, at BBs or bigger boutiques you do get a relocation bonus. Not sure when it is paid out though. As for suits, buy one once you get an interview. M&S, TM Lewin, Charles Tyrwhitt, John Lewis should have fairly cheap ones. If that's still too expensive go to Zara. Buy more clothes once you have received an offer and try to work this summer. Good luck!

Obstacles are the things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
 

Thank you. I will do my best and hope they pay out the relocation bonus upfront. I'll do my best to get an offer, then figure out a way to do it.
