In short: In London, homes can be let as short-term accommodation for up to 90 nights a calendar year without planning permission. On top of that, most leases in managed developments like St George Wharf restrict use to a private residence or require consent for lettings, and building rules may ban short lets entirely. Breaching your lease can lead to forfeiture claims and fines from your freeholder, so check before listing.
