Hi all,

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the updates. Kindly do let me know if it is good idea to initially put stay in hostels listed in this site. The rates vary from 60 to 120 pounds per week.

I have my couple of interview schedule in October. Will it be fine to stay in these hostels for say 14 days and later move to another place accordingly to job conditions?
Will appreciate, if people already in UK can share how they put initial stay right after landing in airport for first 1-2 weeks.

Regards
simar

Yes, that's the right thing to do. Find a hostel and wait till you know where you will be for work. Especially you've got a number of interviews, you may expect to start work very soon.

It's good value to get £60-£120 per week in London. You can search their postcode on www.multimap.com or map.google.com to see where they are. The bigger the number in the first half of postcode, the further from centre London.

I am moving to london with my husband. I would like some advice on accomodation for couples. Hostels seems good when you are moving alone, because they charge per person, not per room. So a couple would have to pay double... Any ideas?

HI Friends,

I have even heard about nice paying guest accommodations, especially in Wembley and Harrow, as these are Gujarati (Indian) poppulated areas, I know about them, there must be other areas as well providing Paying Guest accommodation. Does anybody here has any Idea where we can search for such PG accommodation? or if anyone is already staying as PG, can pelase let me/us have a rough Idea of the cost of leaving as PG and what all does it include?

I have heard that one of my relatives' son is staying as PG and paying GBP 55 per week for lodging and boarding.

PG accomodations are advertised mostly thru the local newsagents... they have the ads displayed on their windows..

also it depends on the family to family...mostly they are inclusive of bills... there are some who have so many restrictions... like control over heating etc...

Also PG's are offered to bachelors most of the time or childless couples...

it starts from £75 per week and above... most of them prefer weekly payments

hope this answers some of your questions
