Average rent for short term lets in London

Rent prices for short-term lets in London can vary hugely depending on the area of the city, the boroughs, and even the postcode. This variation in price can change from year to year and is increasing as more areas of the city go through a period of gentrification. Often, the cost of rent will not only change depending on the area of the city but also on the size of the property and any amenities that come with the apartment. There is also a huge distinction between apartments rented in the city center and those rented outside or in Greater London. The average cost of a short-term apartment outside of the city center is between £1200 and £2,500 per month, though this can vary depending on the borough or area of the city. The same short-term apartment inside the city of London is likely to cost between £1,300 and £7,500. Again, this can rise and fall depending on which area of the city center you choose to rent.
