Accommodation for a Ph.D student studying at London School of Economics
I'm looking for help in deciding where in London my character, a young woman in her mid twenties, would live while she's studying at the LSE. I've looked at their website but that only has details about their own accommodation and I'd prefer her to be in private rented accommodation. My own uni years were spent in a beautiful Welsh seaside town so I just don't know where to go with a city as large as London.
I know that London rents are extortionate and it's likely that she'd have flat mates to share the cost, I just don't know where their flat would be. I don't want to put her in an area that isn't 'studenty' - she has a part time job outside of her research hours, but not one that could put her in a delightful pied a terre In Knightsbridge, for example. Having her travel within London on the Tube wouldn't be a problem and would help the story.
Any advice would be very gratefully received. Thank you.
