Moving to London for ~6months - would folks recommend finding a long-term Airbnb or a proper rental? Anyone have an idea what the £ delta would be given I’ll likely be looking at mostly furnished places?

You can usually find a 6 month rental. I assume you’ll have a work permit? Don’t think you can get a tenancy if it’s just a visitor visa.

Can probably easily find a cheap sublet with all the people who have left London due to (1) Covid but also (2) brexit but still had a long term contract and this couldn’t get out of it

What’s are the best resources to search for sublets?
