Accommodation for academics – visiting lecturers, sabbatical homes

As with so much else, London is a world leader when it comes to further education. It has two universities, UCL and Imperial College London, ranked in the world’s top 5 in the 2013 QS World University Rankings.

Factor in the many other leading universities and colleges in the capital, and it’s not surprising that every year thousands of academics make their way here to lecture, for temporary placements or courses, research exchange or longer-term relocation, or for a sabbatical.

At Outlet, we’ve been helping students who study in London to find low-cost but high-grade accommodation ever since we started in 1995, and with this new service, we’re doing the same for lecturers and other academic professionals.

Better for properties, service and advice

We have access to a wide range of comfortable, reasonably-priced accommodation, and we also make sure that it’s convenient for the institution concerned. Our West End offices are within walking distance of many leading colleges, and we handle properties all over Central London.

As with all our rentals, we also offer advice on all aspects of the renting process and can also give guidance on individual areas – for more details, see our renting section

You can see some typical rental properties by using our property finder service opposite, but do please also contact us – many of our specialist or short-term rentals aren’t listed, and we also have new properties coming in all the time.

We have a big database of suitable landlords, and are always looking to add to it anyone who would like visiting academics as tenants. So if you’re a landlord, we’d love to hear from you

Oh, and if you’re an academic who lives in London and are planning a trip abroad and would like to temporarily let your home to another academic, then please get in touch
