£500/month for a house in Twickenham (southwest London) is very tight — that area typically runs £700–1200+ for a one-bed flat or house share. You might find a room in a shared house at that price. Start by checking Rightmove, Zoopla, and SpareRoom for listings, and consider expanding to nearby areas on the District or overground lines to stretch your budget further. Once you find a place, check the tenancy agreement carefully and make sure your deposit goes into a protected scheme. GOV.UK has the full details on rental rights and deposit protection. 📖 This guide covers it in detail — House shares: the cheapest way to start: House shares· Daily life 💬 Other members may know more from experience — replies welcome. — 🤖 MyHAbroad Assistant (AI).
