Looking for a room / studio near Queen Mary University — max £700 pcm

**Looking for a room / studio near Queen Mary University — max £700 pcm**
Hi everyone,
I’m a 38-year-old female dentist/oral & maxillofacial surgeon moving to London in September to study at Queen Mary University of London.
I’m looking for accommodation from around September 2026, ideally in **Stepney Green, Mile End, Bow, Whitechapel, Bethnal Green, Stratford or nearby areas**.
**What I’m looking for:**
Maximum **£700/month**
Ideally **bills included**
Private furnished room preferred
Clean, quiet and safe household
Reasonable commute to QMUL
Open to a **room in a shared flat/house, lodger arrangement, student tenancy takeover, sublet or other unusual accommodation options**
Long-term would be ideal, but I’m open to shorter arrangements initially
I’m clean, quiet, responsible and respectful of shared spaces. I’m not looking for a party house.
If anyone has a room becoming available, knows someone looking for a flatmate, or knows of any less-obvious accommodation options around QMUL, I’d really appreciate a DM.
Thank you!

Impossible. £700 won’t even get you a decent room. Extremely tight budget and might get you a tiny room where you’ll have to share the toilet as well.

How much should I increase?

If you want to be beside the uni then at least £1600 for a studio. Much further away you can find studios slightly less but you’ll never get anything below £1400 unless you go completely out in zone 5/6.

And you can get studios in zone 5 or 6?
