er...... SE1 is a huge post code and varies massively.
I would suggest he be very careful about living by Old Kent Road (you will see it is by far the cheapes part of SE1/SE16 area.... and for a reason)
I lived in Borough(SE1) and Bermondsey (SE16 Jamaica Road) both great locations but again like most parts of London a few hundred metres in any direction can make a difference.
The closer to London Bridge /Tower Bridge the better but also more expensive.
Tower bridge road is ok and one end hits the old Kent Road roundabout. So really it depends where on Old Kent Road.
It really is a jackpot around there and you have to go see lots of places.
Long Lane is really up and coming. All the little roads off there are nice and there are still some good rent deals around.
Also Im guessing if you cycle everywhere and dont need to walk late at night its not so bad.
Get him to sign up to http://www.spareroom.co.uk. Place a wanted ad and check out the ads on there. you can look for rooms to let, or you can buddie up with others on the site and find a whole flat to rent between you.
happy house/flat hunting!
