Being a central (covent garden, bloomsbury, soho and fitzrovia) lettings guy (apologies), you won't find a studio around this area i'm afraid. Most agents use per week rental figures as makes it look less scary, your budget equates to roughly 160pw which means that you could get a one bed round Brixton, Camberwell (my patch) or most definately a flat share in central london, it depends on how much you like your own space. If new i would recommend living with people as will have instant mates to show you around.
London can feel daunting at the beginning but you soon learn the ropes and it becomes a much smaller city. I live near Bellenden road in Peckam Rye/Camberwell/East Dulwich and i have to say, its feckin awesome. ED has some cool bars and shops and doesnt have the attitude of Clapham etc... theres also a bike jumble just down the road at herne hill too :)
I cycle to the west end every day and it takes me 25 minutes, 20 to borough market and 25-30 to canary wharf, its ace!!!!!!! Go on... do it do it do it!
