You're better off searching the websites of the estate agents in the area/s you want to live in. There's a lag between them getting it and it getting to the aggregation sites.
Better than that is visiting estate agents and have a chat and giving them your details, that way you can get a heads up before it hits the website.
Alot of places get snapped up before they hit Zoopla/rightmove. Rightmove is the number one at the moment.

Thanks, have registered with quite a few estate agents, will probably do more of that. As you said rightmove and the like are not always up to date with their listings which can be very annoying.

Hey,
Starting new employment beside Southwark tube station in January.
Basically don't have much of a scooby of non-knifey areas to live in.
I guess it is vastly dependant on £, but does anyone have any experience of working/commuting to the Southwark tube general area that would have any advice?
Thanks

it's fine round southwark tube.IPC is headquartered there so lots of media kids. loads of decent boozers. Try the Lord Nelson pub which is a little off the beaten track & looks grotty but will surprise you

Vague question:
Me and a mate are looking for a place, ideally walking distance to Hackney marshes (we'll both have studios there). We're not actually in London now (I'm in Wales) so looking is a bit of a pain. What areas round there are decent for around £500pm (each), if any? Ideally looking for a two bed place.
From looking about it looks like £500 isn't enough, but I don't know enough about East to know where to narrow the search down.
Cheers!

What areas are decent around Wimbledon and hom much should I be expecting to pay per month or house share and/or studio?

all of wimbledons pretty decent.
a decent two bed flat above the shops on leopold for instance is about 750 quid.
which is decent money for living there imho.
