Where in London Can You Rent a Flat for £1,500?
Yes, but the choice is narrow for a one-bedroom flat. Of 56,604 one-bedroom ads first seen 15 July to 12 October 2026, 16.6% asked £1,500 pcm or less. For studios it was 46.4% of 14,648 ads. For two-bedroom flats it was 0.9%.
Published 14 October 2026. Asking rents in London ads first seen 15 July to 12 October 2026.
These figures come from London rental ads that RentReboot collected. They are asking rents, not the rents people agreed, and "within £1,500" means an ask of £1,500 pcm or less. The median one-bedroom flat asked £2,050 pcm, the median studio £1,590 and the median two-bedroom flat £2,650.
Where you look changes the answer more than anything else. In 20 of our 100 London neighbourhoods, at least half of the one-bedroom ads asked £1,500 or less. In 41 neighbourhoods, fewer than 5% did.

Is a room the cheaper option in London?
If £1,500 has to cover bills too, a room in a shared home is the option most often within budget. 95.2% of 34,667 room ads asked £1,500 or less, and the median room asked £950 pcm. Our report on how much a room in London costs vs a studio compares the two by neighbourhood, including which room ads include bills.
Before you settle on a budget, add the costs that a rent figure leaves out: council tax, energy, water and broadband. Our guide to the total monthly cost of renting in London lists them.
How we measured London flat rents within £1,500
- Data: London rental ads RentReboot collected from property portals, letting agents' own websites, landlord-direct sites and classified boards, first seen from 15 July to 12 October 2026 (90 days). We do not name or count individual listing sites.
- One ad per property: for each property record we keep the latest ad in the window. London property records do not always join the same home across sites, so a home posted on two sites can count twice. When we instead count each distinct ad text, rent and area once, the share within £1,500 is 49.8% for studios (11,113 adverts), 17.7% for one-bedroom flats (46,995) and 1.0% for two-bedroom flats (62,161).
- Kinds of home: a studio is a whole home with 0 bedrooms, which can include some bedsits. A one-bedroom flat is a whole home with 1 bedroom. Rooms in shared homes are counted separately.
- Budget: "within £1,500" means an asking rent of £1,500 pcm or less. Weekly prices are converted at 52 weeks ÷ 12 months.
- Areas: each ad's ward is mapped to one of our 100 London neighbourhoods and five regions. A neighbourhood share needs at least 30 ads of that size.
- Same window as our room report: these are the same 90 days and rules as our room vs studio report. Studio counts match it. Room and one-bedroom counts differ by a few dozen ads, because some records were updated after that report was run.
