Lool Yeah. Most Central Londoners and Canary Wharfians prefer accommodation between West Hampstead and Stanmore, hence why the Jubilee Line is always crowded.
Have you any Idea how much houses cost in them two places you just listed? grin grin,west Hampstead where most of the EPL players and actors live??

Lol "Between West Hampstead and Stanmore" can be compared to "Between Ikoyi and Ajah". At least there is VI, Lekki, Chevron, Sangotedo. grin

I notice that some people are so unrealistic when giving advice to a newbie coming into UK. If they are politicians children maybe then yes..

Hello people,

Please I will be coming in to London this January on a student visa with my child and spouse. Though my husband isn’t staying permanently at the moment.
My main concern now is accommodation, I’m lost as to which area to look at. I learnt that my area determines the kind of school my child goes to and all. Also, I’m pregnant which means it has to be close to a hospital too. I’m looking for a modest 1-bedroom flat, I’ve been checking Zoopla, SpareRoom, Rightmove etc. my school is in Central London.

I need pointers please
I hope you have things in place or someone to assist you when your husband is not there.

.. schooled there, lived not so far away from there. At least i should have some idea about the area yeah?

Not sure I told anyone to get a flat at West Hampstead though and don't know how your interpretation came about.

I think people give advice largely based on their own perspective and/or experience...

Thanks
What if I want to send pounds. Is world remit or western Union an option?
contra:
On Flutterwave you can select enaira option. It goes to your enaira account. You transfer to your bank account. I sent at N759 to £1 and they charge £1 sending fee.

Hi,
Was reading through your posts but didn't find answers to these questions.
Did you choose a school in Scotland
How much where you required to have as pof for the family of 6 and please what documents did you submit.
I'd be glad if you can assist me with more information.



The total POF including school fees was about 53k+pounds. The application was splited to two, main applicant 1st - 23K+ and later 5 dependents -30K+. Separate POF was used. Some of the documents used are account statements, school documents, marriage certificate, etc.

I will advise you check 1st page of UK students forum for full details.

You can't.
Get a phone for cash then get a SIM contract.
Three is currently offering a 9 pounds a month contract for students for 6 months, unlimited calls, SMS and data; its a very good deal.
After about a year, you can try for a cheap phone contract. Remember to register to vote at your address.

By the way, thank you for this advice.
Been with three for two months now paying £10 for unlimited data, text and calls
Also now registered in the electoral roll
