South of the river is a brilliantly varied collection of neighbourhoods and communities with something for everyone, no matter what you’re looking for in your rented home. South London doesn’t have a set boundary as such but broadly refers to everywhere south of the River Thames. However, there are some places below it that are considered West London (such as Richmond), and some technically further south than others but still north of the river (such as the Isle of Dogs). South London has long had a somewhat unfair reputation of being the North’s poorer cousin but this couldn’t be further from the truth – there’s a fantastic array of impressive attractions and remarkable residences to choose from.

Flats & Apartments to Rent in South London

Whether you’re looking for a dramatic penthouse duplex or a serene, cosy studio, South London will have the rented flat for you.

Rented flat prices in South London are a little cheaper than you’ll find in the north of the city, and get lower the further out from the centre you head.
