moving to london in late summer '08. where can i find cheap apartment in nice neighborhood for me & cat or dog

Question

I'm want to get a pet when i move. Most likely a cat. I want a decent apartment in or near london.

I wouldn't mind living outside of london and commuting. But commute shouldn't end up costing more.

Is that as common in the UK as it is in California?

Answer 1

you can't...good luck with that! 'cheap' and 'nice' don't go together in London

Answer 2

Depends if you want to buy or to rent. Not many rentals will allow pets. There is no such thing as a cheap flat in London. You can get studio apartments (bedsits) which have the bed in the same room as the living room with a small area containing a small 2 ring hob and microwave. There are some of these outside the main city (about an hour's commute to the centre). You can get one of these for about £250 a month.

Answer 3

Kensington or Belgravia are nice neighbourhoods, probably just what you want from the wording of your question. The cheapest apartment here would be around £2,000 a week. That cheap enough for you and the cat?

Answer 4

Basically you can't. London is very expensive. If you want cheap it'll have to be in a not so nice neighborhood.

Answer 5

My canines is elementary with my sons call. I ask her to locate Oskar and she or he runs to him. that is probable because of the fact he's barely a baby and that i'm consistently asserting his call, and have been at domicile an excellent variety of the day so she's listening to me call his call a lot :)

Answer 6

no such thing as nice or cheap in London - why not commute from Norfolk where it is nice, cheaper, and your cat & dog could run free and avoid the smog and pollution.

Answer 7

Also, few landlords allow pets.
