Unusual accommodation in London

If you’re currently deciding where to live in London, then you’re probably looking at lists of Victorian conversion flats, terraced houses or maybe even a river-view new-build.
But have you thought about the wider selection of accommodation that is available in London? Here are some of the options out there, many are a lot more feasible than they initially sound.

Warehouse accommodation in London
Warehouse accommodation isn’t usually particularly cheap, but it’s interesting, spacious and each warehouse building usually has an amazing history behind it. You can normally find warehouse accommodation near the river, on both sides of the water. Places like Rotherhithe or Limehouse have tons of warehouse conversions. If you’re interested in living in warehouse accommodation, then you can either look on sites such as gumtree.com which seems to have fairly frequent ads for this type of property. Or you could contact a specialist company such as uniquepropertycompany.co.uk or spaced.co.uk which specialises in live/work units.

Houseboats
Quite a difficult type of accommodation rental to get into, as the demand for houseboats in London is extremely high. If you do your research and are lucky then you might be able to secure a moored rental for around GBP 125.00 per week. Most people who live in boats in London are boat owners who have paid some serious cash to secure a boat plus mooring rights for a particular area. If you’re interested in living on a houseboat, then check out our full article on this subject.

Empty Buildings
What we’re referring to here is the idea of being a ‘property guardian’ where empty buildings which were formerly offices, banks, fire stations, schools etc etc (the list is endless and fascinating) are occupied by property guardians who pay minimal rent to live there and keep an eye on the building. The fact that the building is kept occupied, which is a deterrent to squatters, is reason enough for the building owner to let a guardian live there for an extremely low cost. To find out more about becoming a property guardian, including the website details for 3 companies who deal in this type of arrangement, please view our full article on Property Guardian Schemes in London.

Where to live in Transport Zone 6

Transport Zone 6 includes 78 stations, some of which are on the tube lines, but most are on the National Rail network. Some of the stations actually lie outside of Greater London, but are still included within the London Transport system – stations such as Loughton (Essex), Whyteleafe (Surrey) and Moor Park (Hertfordshire) fall into this category. Generally speaking, if you decide to live in Zone 6, then you are more likely to live in a green leafy area, than if you were to live nearer to Central London, although often this comes at a price. Transport costs will be higher than if you were living in Zone 2 or 3 for instance. Also you might find that properties are quite pricey in some of the home counties, for instance Surrey, although much less so in somewhere like Enfield. Every transport zone has it’s pros and cons so you have to weigh up what is appropriate for your situation. Take a look at the stations below for some inspiration.

Where to live in London in Transport Zone 5

Transport Zone 5 in London comprises of 68 different stations including a couple that are actually considered to be outside of Greater London, but are still part of the zone (for instance Stoneleigh and Buckhurst Hill). If you choose to live in transport zone 5, then you really are beginning to live in the outskirts of London – which is no bad thing, there are some very nice areas to choose from (for instance Twickenham or Chislehurst). Zone 5 arguably has some of the best areas of London to live in, but you need to be aware that travel costs can be expensive to get into central London. Speaking very generally you can often find more spacious accommodation in your budget the further out of London you go, so if space is important to you and you don’t mind a little commute then Zone 5 could be for you.

Where to live in London in Transport Zone 4

If you’re trying to find the best areas of London to live in and are wondering about living in Zone 4, then here is a list of 120 stations that serve the transport zone which stretches both north and south of the river Thames. Zone 4 areas are situated a fair distance from Central London although you would be able to get into the centre of town from most of them within an hour. Zone 4 areas are unlikely to offer the same in terms of buzz and nightlife as you would get if you were living in Zones 1 or 2. Some of them will feel villagey and many of them will feel like independent towns which are separate to London (for instance Chigwell which is located outside of Greater London but is included in the zone). Living in Zone 4 will often give you a bit more accommodation for your money, but you will have to factor in an increase in travel costs if you have a job that you regularly commute to in the centre of town.

Where to live in London in Transport Zone 3

If you’re wondering where to live in London, then Zone 3 offers the best of both worlds. On the one hand, residential areas in Zone 3 are still reasonably near to Central London and in most cases you’d be able to get to your final destination (usually work – boo!) within an hour. On the other hand, Zone 3 can feel a little bit more suburban and occasionally village-like, so if you don’t feel like you want to experience Central London other than for work, then you don’t have to. Choose from one of these 146 stations that serve the Zone 3 area.
