  • Studio-style rooms in Zone 1.
  • Shared housing in Zones 2-3.
  • Boutique hotel accommodation.

*Shared housing and Studio-style rooms are in high demand so can be limited in availability.

Our partners have allocated 250 beds in Zone 1 for us, which is the rate between new arrivals and departing travellers. This type of accommodation is centrally located in the heart of London and is an all-inclusive dormitory property. You will be sharing with other Australians and New Zealanders on the Jumpstart, as well as international University Students.

Only one week’s deposit is required to secure your bed pre-departure, and then rent is paid on a weekly basis. Only one week’s notice is required to leave your accommodation.

Features of this accommodation:

  • All Bills included as well as high-speed Wifi and SkyTV and Contents Insurance.
  • Laundry Facilities.
  • Shared Bathrooms.
  • Reception assistance.
  • Opportunity to volunteer at the property and stay rent-free!

There is a loyalty scheme in place if you're room sharing here - The longer you stay, the cheaper your rent gets - ask us for more info.

When there is a room available, and it is your turn on the waitlist, the property team will contact you to set up a viewing. You can go check out the room, and if you prefer it to your current accommodation, sign a tenant agreement for the house and make the swap to shared housing.
