Where to live in London for SA
Hey monkeys, I was wondering how much I should budget for housing if I want to live in central London over the summer. Where do people usually stay if you're only in the city for a summer internship?

Career Resources
Assuming you prioritise getting the FT offer over having a fun summer, stay as close to the bank as possible. Walking distance is ideal - it’s the only fresh air you’ll be getting all summer. Great to avoid the sweaty summer tube too. Budget is personal preference, personally I think spending up to £400/week is acceptable even though it may seem excessive. You want to live in a nice place, you’ll need to feel comfortable and relax when (if) you get some chilled time at home. Congrats on the offer!
Agree with above. Also think the financial district is quite nice anyway.

Where is the bank located?
I lived in St. James's, which was nice, as when I got out late I could walk to Leicester Square where some quick food places were still open for a second dinner. The only downside was I had to transfer Tube lines in the morning, but still a 15 min commute tops.
I had to wait for a visa, so most student housing was taken by the time it came through, but I know a lot of interns at my bank lived in various student accommodations.
