[QUOTE="xMontmorency, post: 233116, member: 32743"] Depending on where you are, 13k just about covers your rent (maybe even with utilities). Find a flat outside of central but with tube connections. Ideally rent with 1-3 other people - the more roommates the more you spread the cost. In terms of areas to search, I'd recommend: - Either end of the northern line (tooting, morden, high barnet, woodside park, colindale) - Elephant & Castle / Bermondsey - Angel / Islington - The west end of the central and elizabeth lines (ealing, ruislip, hounslow) - Stratford Obviously depends on budget and vibe tho ofc. I might try to avoid North East London and places like Lewisham, Peckam and Whitechapel. Defo apply for whatever finance you can get. Might be worth asking your firm if they offer interest-free loans for SQE students (some do). If you have a job rn try saving up as much as you can. Get a part time job while studying. Waitressing, bartending, paralegaling, retail, anything. If you have experience, try walking in and handing your CV to one of the bars and restaurants around soho, covent garden, camden, brixton or the City - they are often hiring and pay quite well.
