I’ve just secured a front-office IB placement in London from July 2025 to July 2026, but I’ve never lived in London and don’t know where to start. Do people usually stay in student accommodation or opt for a flat share? I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions on where to look or what most people in a similar situation tend to do. Thanks in advance!

From my experience and from friends who have also completed internships here, we've all opted for flat shares. The website spare room is quite popular and is what I used.
