Looking for accommodation with the estate agents is one of the options, especially if you are looking for a flat, studio or bedsit. They do all the dirty work for you trying to find something that matches your criteria. However, as they have to get paid for what they do, you might have to pay them a fee or pay a higher rent which will include their monthly payment.

There are so many estate agencies in London it is impossible to list them all. Here we list just a few which can be a good starting point.
