We are in the process of buying a house in london and currently rent elsewhere. it may be that the house completes after the lease term expires in which case we will have to find somewhere to let for a short period, say a week or two, or slightly longer, but hopefully not. we are aware of short term services apartments in the city (we both work in london) but would ideally be looking for somewhere local to in south east london, close to london bridge for commute. not sure if anyone has any ideas which we could 'bank' in the event we need it.
