Can you really live alone in London for £1,000 a month? In this video, we explore what kind of studio flats and apartments you can actually rent in London right now on that budget. I’ll take you through real, current listings from across the city — from North London to West London, Zone 1 to Zone 3 — and we’ll analyse together whether these places are truly worth the rent. If you’re planning to move to London, looking for your first flat, or simply trying to understand what £1,000 a month gets you in London’s rental market, this is the perfect guide to help you set realistic expectations.

London is one of the most expensive cities in the world, and finding an affordable place to live here is not easy. Between rising rents, shrinking studio sizes, hidden fees and confusing listings, flat hunting can quickly become overwhelming. My goal is to make the process easier for you. Every month, I review the latest London rental listings in full transparency, so you can see exactly what your money gets you. In this video, I’m breaking down the pros and cons of the best studios currently available for under £1,000 per month — so you don’t waste time on misleading ads or overpriced properties.

Whether you’re a student, young professional, remote worker or someone relocating to London, this video will give you a clear, realistic look at what it’s like to rent on a tight budget. I’ll also share some insights into how to read between the lines in listings, what to check before you view a property, and how to spot the difference between a true self-contained studio flat and a rebranded house-share. You’ll see examples of both the good and the bad — from decent studios with full kitchens and private bathrooms to questionable listings that stretch the definition of “studio living”.

The London rental market moves fast, and prices vary widely between neighbourhoods and transport zones. In this episode, you’ll get a closer look at how location impacts rent, what type of studio you can expect for £1,000 in areas such as Crouch Hill, Finsbury Park, Cricklewood, Kensington, Ealing and Hackney, and which of them might offer the best value. We’ll discuss things like council tax inclusions, access to the Underground and Overground, room layouts, and the importance of natural light and privacy — small details that can make a huge difference when living alone in London.
