Landed an SA gig in Mayfair, and trying to figure out where to live and when to start looking for flats / people to live with.
Budget: GBP 1.5k per month (would prefer 1k but can go up to 1.5k)
Priority: Proximity to office, ideally within walking distance. Prefer to avoid tube as far as possible.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

For 1k-1.5k you can rent a flat in Marylebone and walk to the office.
Where can I find these flats
Marylebone / Westminster
Pimlico also doable if your office is right off Green Park
Are you interns high? Anything within a walking distance of Mayfair will not be 1K a month. You can spend 1.5K if you share with 1-2 other people on SparerRoom. 1K gets you a parking space in a Mayfair garage. Pimlico is also not walking distance by any stretch of the imagination since it will be at least 40-45 minutes. If you want something that is realistically walking distance (20-25 mins) go for Paddington or the Edgware Road area. Alternatively, you can cycle in with a Santander from areas like Pimlico or St. John's Wood in 10-15 mins. Also worth considering.
I worked in Mayfair and lived in Pimlico this summer and the walking time is 25 min.
Seems counter-intuitive, but there are great rooms / sharing flats in South Kensington, and commute can be 20-25 minute door to door.
the summers could probably be working from home at this point.
Lol good point, gotta play the waiting game
Near Edgware Road or Lancaster Gate are good options too.
