Ok, I'll not bother looking in Stockwell.
Yeah, I have. My halls were in the grounds of Charing Cross Hospital, so I know Hammersmith quite well and we all loved it there. Unfortunately, it's out of our price range. They work out about £130 per week per person excluding bills, we need somewhere £100 per week per person excl. bills.
From what I've found it's tricky:
Go further west to get cheaper properties, but journey time goes up and you're quite far from central for going out.
I'd be happy to go east, because the rate at which rents decrease is greater going east than going west. Hence the benefit of being nearer good places to go out, but a bit of a trek to South Ken for my mates on public transport.
I haven't bothered looking north, as it's getting well away from uni. South of the river might be the place. Battersea perhaps?
