Ask HN: Moving to London soon, how to find flat/apartment?
I'm a software engineer, I've got an offer in London so soon I'll be moving there, do you have any suggestion on how to find a flat/apartment for rent?
If you're living by yourself, try rightmove.co.uk - you'll end up talking to a bunch of agents. Obviously you have rent / bills / council tax on top of what's on the site. Again, may be worth a month in AirBnB to try and figure out the area you like.
FWIW, I like East London - Shoreditch, Old St., etc. It's a pretty good blend of people and things, and a good location for doing stuff (or at least starting your journey). I'm in London - contact details are in my profile - feel free to reach out if I can help more.
