Finding a flat in London

I am trying to determine living costs in London if I decide to accept an offer to the Cass MSF. I've seen rates anywhere from 120 - 300 GBP per week for student accommodations or studio flats in/near central London.

Can any of you guys in the UK recommend websites to look for a place? Also, will I need to travel to London a few months before to get a lease arranged?

ask your uni, they will give you an extensive list. you dont need to get there a few months in advance just get some place for the first couple of days then arrange the visits for when you arrive (or a few weeks before you start)
