which is the cheapest way to rent a flat in London?

cheap flat rent

I was looking at agents like Foxtons etc, but their prices are really high.

Is there a way to find a cheaper flat for rent in London, for example newspaper ads?

What would you suggest?

Thanks in advance.

    To be honest, it’s not that Foxtons’ prices are expensive, but more that London is expensive. Foxtons’ properties tend to be slightly above average in price range but not by much.

    The best way to find a flat (almost everyone I know used it) is. It’s got a good range of properties both in terms of area and price.
