Yeehlow

Looking for a house in London can be challenging, especially when we have a reduced budget. Ranked in the top five most expensive cities for rental accommodation for several years in a row, the average rent in central London is £7,000 for a three-bedroom apartment.

Yeehlow is here to help: we put together a list of the five top affordable areas to rent a property in the UK capital city. Happy reading!

Acton

Located in the West of London, Acton is definitely a good place to live if you are looking for quick transportation and low prices. The District and Piccadilly line will take you basically everywhere in 20 minutes, and the average rental price is £280 per week.

Croydon

Located in the southern outskirt of London, Croydon’s rental average price is about £300 per week. It is a growing and exciting area, and it’s definitely well connected with the city center: the Southern or Thameslink lines will take you to Victoria Station in 20 minutes!

Lewisham

Lewisham is a residential area located just between Peckham and Greenwich. It is extremely close to the center of London and, during the last years, intense renovation completely transformed the area turning it into a livable borough full of green spots. The weekly price for a property amounts to £350.

Shepherd Bush

Shepherd Bush is extremely central and offers different underground stations: White City, Shepherd Bush and Shepherd’s Bush Market. Furthermore, it is very close to Notting Hill (on the east side) and Hammersmith (on the south side.) Even so, the average weekly rent for a house is £352!

Enfield

We move north to reach the borough of Enfield, easily connected with the center of London by several train lines. Ensfield is a quiet area, perfect for those who look forward to leaving behind the capital’s typical traffic and noise. The weekly rent revolves around £365.
