Monthly furnished apartments in London

Compare 9 sites for London, United Kingdom: furnished flats for one to six months, from mid-term platforms and nightly sites with monthly discounts.

Renting a flat in London

London has one of the deepest apartment markets in the world, from serviced studios in the City to family flats in leafy zones 2 and 3. The Underground and Overground make almost anywhere inside zone 3 workable, so it often pays to look a few stops out from the centre for more space at the same price.

Areas to look at

  • Shoreditch and Hoxton: warehouse conversions, bars and quick links to the City
  • South Kensington and Chelsea: museums, quiet garden squares and classic mansion blocks
  • Camden and King's Cross: well connected for Eurostar and the north, lively markets
  • Greenwich: riverside and calmer, with the DLR and Elizabeth line nearby

Local rules

In Greater London, a whole home can be let for short stays for up to 90 nights per calendar year without planning permission. Longer stays are usually let as monthly furnished rentals.

  • Homes in London may be let short-term for up to 90 nights per calendar year without planning permission; exceeding 90 nights in total requires planning permission for change of use. (source, 2026)
