Accommodation for summer internship in Canary Wharf

Apologies if this is on the wrong forum.  I have recently secured a summer internship in CW and am looking to rent somewhere for the 9/10 week internship duration over the summer.

I'm going to be interning as a trader in CW so keen to get accommodation fairly close because of the early mornings etc.

Does anyone have any advice where to look?  Currently thinking either student accommodation or airbnb?  When I tried googling student accommodation, I couldn't find any in the immediate area.  Airbnb on the other hand seems quite expensive...  

What is the best strategy?  Is it even necessary to live that close to work for normal trading work hours?

I’ve got a place in Narrow street/limehouse (about 15 mins walking from CW) for the first 5 weeks on Airbnb, no deposit and since I haven’t been there personally to check it out, 5 weeks gives me plenty of time to find somewhere else for the other 5 weeks if I don’t like it.
