In short: Short-let flats in London are furnished homes for stays of a few weeks to several months, usually with bills included. Book through reputable providers, check cancellation terms and never pay by bank transfer to someone you can't verify. For stays of six months or more, a standard periodic tenancy is usually cheaper. Our short-lets hub has detailed guides for guests and hosts.
