Is this for pleasure? Where in the UK are you going?

I think London is pretty nice if you've never been there. Lots to do, can be $$$, but you might find a good deal in some of the youth hostels that are around. I traveled around Europe about 15 years ago and used them in a number of places. Not many amenities, but it worked out great for me.

I live outside Denver, CO , USA.

I've been to Cambridge and lived in London in college for 7 months. Don't plan on seeing me in the UK. I hate traveling 😉

All of London is expensive to live in. Even the places I'd not advise you to live are expensive. To be honest, if you live inside the M25 (the motorway around London) then you'll pay a premium for being in the commuter zone.

Most people these days move further afield and catch a train in...Like I do...However, I recently found out I live in the most expensive part of the UK behind the city of London! Time for me to move a bit further away!

All the home counties (Essex, Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire etc) offer good links into London, so transport is not a problem.

No problem. Actually on reading my post, I did play London down a bit. Yes, very expensive to live in on your own - best bet would be a flat/house share. These are very common.

But as for a city - it's a cool place to be of an evening/weekend!

You need to account for the duration and cost of travel. London is about 30 miles across, and people live within and outside its limits. Cheaper accommodation further away from your workplace = longer journey = higher journey cost. Commute times in London can be crippling for newcomers - mine is 2 hours each way, Reading to Surbiton, on the 3 days a week when I'm not working from home. A monthly ticket for this journey costs just short of £300, if I want London stations included as part of the travel plan for my ticket, it's much more expensive.

A room in a flatshare within an hour of central London by tube (underground) will cost you about £400 per month. I have a 1 1/2 -bedroom flat in Leytonstone, East London, 45 mins by tube from Oxford Circus: it's tiny! - but would cost about £900 per month for someone to rent.

There's a strong Indian / Bangladeshi community in Southall, West London which has fairly low rents and offers good rail links to London via Paddington. It's also within cycling distance of Ealing / Chiswick and possibly Hammersmith.

Your best bet is to fix up temporary accommodation and take the hit of the extra cost until you've found a suitable long-term place. Use the free publications and websites - Gumtree is good. Most of all, ask your new colleagues, they will tell you which locations are most suitable for this particular workplace.

Good luck
