Half these places don't even have desks in the room, if I'm paying for an apartment that expensive *as a student* I would want some private places to do work.

Well its due to demand and clientele Anyone whose renting these locations are very wealthy and are only studying in London for the lifestyle. It doesn't have to be London, it could be any popular metropolitan area that is attractive to young people such as New York, Tokyo or something. The apartments are less like apartments and more like hotel rooms They are far too nice for the average student Student finance is not helping you with 8k a month or something. You're in London because of your parents and student finance isn't even a thing for you as your parents just paid off the cost of uni like it was nothing (cause it is nothing to them). Someone like Messi makes 1.2million (estimate) a week so if his children want to study in London and rent an apartment then a weeks wage covers basically all of that...
@@colonelcider8292 what i always wonder is why these people are willing to pay so much money to live in a crime ridden drug infested dirty shithole of a city with rats and homeless people and muggings ans stabbings instead of buying a house in the countryside with a couple acres of land and getting a private chauffeur to drive them to school. just the air quality is enough of a reason not to want to live in london.
London's prices are insane. I pay less rent in a year than these people charge for a month and I don't live in a tiny studio flat. Why anyone chooses to live in London is beyond me. Sure, wages are higher there but in almost every case they're not nearly high enough to justify the cost of living there.
@@bruhngl he's saying that the justification is that these apartments are for rich kids with wealthy parents To them, they do not care about the price. Its nothing to do with London wages as London wages aren't large enough for the amount they are paying. They pay for the apartments because they are attracted to the lifestyle, nothing else. Its not cost effective but they don't care about being cost effective They're the type of people who'd buy a lamborghini despite not knowing how to drive.

I couldn’t figure out what looked so off in these flats and then it hit me that the bedrooms don’t even have a desk or shelf space in them. it seems like some don’t even have a closet. imagine paying five figures a month for a “furnished” student appartement and you don’t even get a desk.

@@millygd955 Tbf it was Stoke-on-Trent and we didn't have running water for a week so we got some money knocked off our rent haha on average it was closer to £120 a week off campus and on campus the cheapest was around 70-80 a week which was what I was originally paying in my 3rd year. Got ripped off in my Master's year though paying like £165 a week for the privilege of having my washing machine freeze because the landlord put it outside and a boiler that didn't work.
Every time you make these videos I relate so hard, since I’m in NYC. $1800 USD monthly gives you a hole in the wall and you’re not even in a central area.
At my uni, there was a student I heard about whose parents had purchased them a huge penthouse, apparently the parties were nuts. Students coming from homes where everything was scheduled often went wild when they get independence...
There are two things I noticed. First, almost no desks for students. Second, they’re intentionally using fancy-looking furniture to try to mark up the price for a furnished place. It’s literally landlords trying to make the apartments look as fancy as possible to mark up the price. It also looks like places better fit for families but they know that 2-5 students will pay more than a family of 3-4.
Those Bastards! We all know Landlords get fancy-looking furniture for free, so how dare they charge more for that?! (Seriously though: that's only thing I DON'T think is outrageous about those places)
Actually makes you think more about the monthly cost because you have to calculate it instead of just seeing it. Most people need to budget based on monthly income. I don't know what kind of person thinks "oh, it's just this week I have to pay for", unless they're literally renting it like a hotel on a rolling weekly basis.
Let's be honest, what sort of student goes to live in these super fancy places in London? Wouldn't they want to be close to their universities, libraries and parks so they can work and relax without wasting time in commute? All these look like hotels not like a living place for someone who's going to work and get stuff done.
Many the Unis in London are pretty central and so in expensive areas though. But that also means it's still not difficult to commute to them from further out via the Underground.
These are all for foreign students with Oil Money or Oligarch Money. So, you know I don’t object to them being fleeced. They’d only spend that money on something else stupid.
only realising how out of touch george actually is when he says £2100 a week in rent is reasonable. thats more than the average person makes in a month
reasonable in comparison when looking at everything else with London prices. He didn't mean reasonable in any actual sense, only reasonable for the morons who pay London prices. How you didn't realise that I'll never know
Im pretty sure my rent as a student back in 1997/98 was about £55 a week, or less than a single nights sleeps worth of rent in the £1640 flat. If your a student, your never in your accomodation other than to sleep. Going off the prices, you could just stay in a hotel and have all your meals done and room service for less money.
just because your studying doesnt mean you dont need a home. studying at the uni library is shit, theres always noise and people walking around and the chairs are uncomfortable and the desks are never the right height. also you might wanna have some friends over to watch movies or drink beers instead of spending 3 per pint in a bar? living in a bedroom for years would have made me off myself.
@@TheSuperappelflap don't forget they said 1997, when computers were £4000, TVs the size of a trolley, DVD players cost as much as a PS5, and the bus was 50p (as were pints)

BRUH. I'm living in a metropolitan area with a rent of around 800€ (£700) per MONTH for a 2 room + kitchen + bathroom apartment, and these apartments are double or triple of that per WEEK. The London housing market is insane 💀
Yep, Even the surrounding areas within the m25 are insane. More and more of my friends who are starting getting married are moving either west to Cornwall or up further north theres less work but london is such a scam
Wow, I live near Toronto and complain a lot about how much it cost to rent there. Did the conversion of pounds to CAD in this video and it's much worse in London. Thanks for cheering me up George!
I live a 10 minute walk from Canary Wharf and pay a total of £1450 per month for my flat that I share with my girlfriend. It's definitely smaller than most of these places, but it doesn't feel like a hotel and big enough for most of what we need. I still wanna move out of London though as I can get a place three times bigger for this price somewhere else
Same here, £1350 for a 1 bed apartment per month - £1560 if you include bills, also on Canary Wharf's doorstep. We even have a lovely canal view. These 'student' accommodations are heavily distorted.
They bump up prices for students? What a backwards system. I was so surprised when you said that. As a dane, that makes no sense. In denmark, the government pays they landlords to lower their prices for students. By the way, we also get something called "SU", which is the government paying you to go to school. The amount varies a lot depending on your financial situation.
We have a similar situation as we get a maintenance loan for living costs that depends on your parent’s financial situation. They even make it higher for students in London, but even then it often will only just be enough to cover rent if you’re lucky. And in first year you’re normally guaranteed student accommodation with the uni which is more reasonably priced, but after that it can get much more expensive.
@@themovieunderstander720 That's still just a loan tho. The SU we get is not a loan, it's just a payment. We even pay taxes on it, as if school was a job. Our schools are free btw
The Danish Government gives money to dedicated student homes (Kollegier), but if you're renting on the private market, they ain't paying sh*t. Also: It's not backwards at all, unless you live in should-land. Students are amongst the most destructive people you can rent out to.
London is ridiculous to live in. I feel so sorry for people that struggle to live there. I pay over a grand a month for my 2 bed ( lovely & spacious ) apartment but I’ve also got a hairdressers, cafe & 4 big gardens in my building.
These exist almost exclusively for mega wealthy international students, I go to kcl and regularly interact with people whose lives are actually like this lol
lmao you could live in a hotel, have free electricity, wifi, breakfast, cleaning and water for way cheaper than what these cost and most look like big hotel rooms anyways
Bro, I'm so lucky that I struck a sick deal with my parents: if I promised to get a 99.0 ATAR or above (Australian senior school final exams that determine your university options. 99.95 is the highest possible score), they'd pay for my post-grad acomodation anywhere. I got 99.25, so they paid for an absolutely massive flat where I was studying in Canberra. Think it was like 10 grand AUD a month (5 grand GBP)
For two THOUSAND a month you could rent an entire house with change left over, glad you moved from London! How much are you paying now in rent/bills ect where you are now?
Everyone's discussing the mad prices and I'm just here getting excited about the Spyro, Crash bandicoot, hit and run and other game music in the background 👀😂
I pay 650 a month (thats including utilities) for a bedroom, large living room, kitchen, a small ass bathroom to be fair, and a basement with a washer and dryer. Plus off street parking. How the actually fuck could a student afford any of that shit man My 650 apartment is about as high as i will pay
Both my parents (one who works for the nhs and one who works in teaching) with their combined untaxed salaries couldn’t afford a singe one of these. This is why I commit credit card fraud 💯🙏.
I so want these to be satire but I know deep down that London is so beyond repair at this point that it probably isn’t. What are the people paying this money for these apartments actually going to go on and do with their lives using the degrees they get while living in these places I wonder…
What the heck is this?! I'm a student from Germany moving to Berlin for an internship in a few months and I thought the rent there was bad. How are these prices even real? How can it be that it's allowed to demand that much money for (relatively) normal living accommodations? How is any normal person with a normal job supposed to live ANYWHERE?! HOW?!

I'm a student who currently lives in South Kensington. Our house a decent size; we have a large kitchen, a dining/living room, three small bedrooms and two 'cupboards' which we also fit two beds into (legally the house can only be let for 3 occupants). However, it is very damp, mouldy and the heating doesn't work. We pay about £3500 a month for it. Based on that, I would say maybe 6k a month is reasonable for three students to share for the level of property shown in this video, I'm not sure how 10-20k can be justified.
Fully mental. You wouldn't be spending that much time indoors as a student anyway, especially not in London. I needed a bed and a desk and I was sorted.
Mannnn London sounds like Vancouver (BC, Canada) rent prices, starting at 1,200$ for a bachelors suite (one room for your bedroom and living room in one, then a small kitchen with oven and fridge at least, and a small ass bathroom) I've seen one bedroom apartments in Vancouver being rented by these students who are younger than me paying 2.5-4k who are students but somehow have the money to live with like one person they are super close with or their partner or even on their own (mommy and daddy money) wearing nasty Gucci and other high end stuff that would prob take my entire months wages to buy one of and they act like it's notbin!!!! I'm blown away, and it sucks cause it's either the students who are only here for semester's then live at home empty apartment 60-80% of the year or the opposite, the ones who rent apartments YEAR ROUND and are only there the BARE minimum to keep up and pay bills then rent it out the rest of the time for stupid high prices but shit places. The housing crisis is so bad in Vancouver BC that if you are below the poverty line or are disabled you get thrown into what they call "*SRO* units" (*Single Room Occupancy* Units) which in Vancouver equals a literal trap or crack house. Sure they are affordable but they never have rooms available and if they do you never have peace there is drug use all around you constant cops and fighting....it's bs....fuck the housing crisis
im in uni outside of london in the south west of the country and pay £125 a week for my and my flatmate's 5 bedroom house with bills included. my actual home is in london so i know if i want any chance of living near home when i move out of my parents i'll need to sell a couple organs to afford it
I remember one of my relatives had to move to London for work, 1 bedroom apartment in Kensington ( I think, it was really close to the National History Museum) & it was something like 3k per month. They could afford it but it was just SO MUCH!!
There's like no storage in most of the bedrooms and living areas. Where are you supposed to keeo all your designer clothes and your trainer collection???? What about your timepiece collection??? Your Hermes bags??? Let alone have a space to study and keep books etc
Half these places don't even have desks in the room, if I'm paying for an apartment that expensive *as a student* I would want some private places to do work.

My family pay £750 a month for a 3 bedroom for not even the good area of the city
Bro, I'm so lucky that I struck a sick deal with my parents: if I promised to get a 99.0 ATAR or above (Australian senior school final exams that determine your university options. 99.95 is the highest possible score), they'd pay for my post-grad acomodation anywhere. I got 99.25, so they paid for an absolutely massive flat where I was studying in Canberra. Think it was like 10 grand AUD a month (5 grand GBP)
Halls at my uni is literally £5000 A YEAR and is on par with half of these places
But that 20k Knightsbridge one has stairs that when you walk down them you change into a totally different person. Bargain.
For two THOUSAND a month you could rent an entire house with change left over, glad you moved from London! How much are you paying now in rent/bills ect where you are now?
My £95 a week student accommodation had a bigger bedroom than these 😭 (I didn’t live in London, that’s why)
It's very possible that some of these are apart-hotels. They show up on property websites sometimes pretending to be normal flats.
Everyone's discussing the mad prices and I'm just here getting excited about the Spyro, Crash bandicoot, hit and run and other game music in the background 👀😂
I live in a studio in Stamford Hill.. 1 room with a window that looks out to a wall and a tiny shower room no window... £1400 pm...
The average lomdon experience is overpriced things
I pay 650 a month (thats including utilities) for a bedroom, large living room, kitchen, a small ass bathroom to be fair, and a basement with a washer and dryer. Plus off street parking. How the actually fuck could a student afford any of that shit man
My 650 apartment is about as high as i will pay
“sIxTeEn ThOuSanD PoUnDs??”
That amount is pretty typical for an American university.
Both my parents (one who works for the nhs and one who works in teaching) with their combined untaxed salaries couldn’t afford a singe one of these. This is why I commit credit card fraud 💯🙏.
I so want these to be satire but I know deep down that London is so beyond repair at this point that it probably isn’t. What are the people paying this money for these apartments actually going to go on and do with their lives using the degrees they get while living in these places I wonder…
What they charge for a month's rent was my tuition for the full year at my university
What the heck is this?! I'm a student from Germany moving to Berlin for an internship in a few months and I thought the rent there was bad. How are these prices even real? How can it be that it's allowed to demand that much money for (relatively) normal living accommodations? How is any normal person with a normal job supposed to live ANYWHERE?! HOW?!
I pay £173 weekly for a literal box room with no ensuite and a shared kitchen between 12
Is it this bad in London? In Yorkshire it’s under 500 a month for 4 bedroom house
council house maybe
1 week's rent on some of those is way more than a whole year's worth of rent elsewhere.
I’m a student and I spend £1million a month on my 1m cubed apartment. It’s the best value in London!
To rent a shed in London is like six grand a week, fucking hate living here.
George Memeulous is secretly an estate agent 😳
Or worse, a landlord
11:15 They even have folded towels on the bed. All of these places just sceam hotel.
"What's your job?"
"I put on smart casual attire and fling my arms in the direction of different rooms in unoccupied flats in london for tik tok videos."
Who's the genius who put SHAR music in the background. ILY
Sea shanty 2 really got me laughing during the tour instead of watching the video I've ended up just trying to guess where the background music you put in is from such as the crash kart racing and a few others
two single beds is actually very useful as a couple could practice separation therapy and won't fight over the blankets.
I'm a student who currently lives in South Kensington. Our house a decent size; we have a large kitchen, a dining/living room, three small bedrooms and two 'cupboards' which we also fit two beds into (legally the house can only be let for 3 occupants). However, it is very damp, mouldy and the heating doesn't work. We pay about £3500 a month for it. Based on that, I would say maybe 6k a month is reasonable for three students to share for the level of property shown in this video, I'm not sure how 10-20k can be justified.
Fully mental. You wouldn't be spending that much time indoors as a student anyway, especially not in London. I needed a bed and a desk and I was sorted.
and here i was thinking my £350 a month was bad
Some of these per week prices were what I pay per year for my student accommodation in a big city somewhere else
is x£ per *week* a normal measurement? i had the feeling they put it in weeks bc they knew how f-ing expensive that shit looks if its per month?
yeah usually places are shown per week and per month
@@tobyc8022 ah i see ty
Mannnn London sounds like Vancouver (BC, Canada) rent prices, starting at 1,200$ for a bachelors suite (one room for your bedroom and living room in one, then a small kitchen with oven and fridge at least, and a small ass bathroom) I've seen one bedroom apartments in Vancouver being rented by these students who are younger than me paying 2.5-4k who are students but somehow have the money to live with like one person they are super close with or their partner or even on their own (mommy and daddy money) wearing nasty Gucci and other high end stuff that would prob take my entire months wages to buy one of and they act like it's notbin!!!! I'm blown away, and it sucks cause it's either the students who are only here for semester's then live at home empty apartment 60-80% of the year or the opposite, the ones who rent apartments YEAR ROUND and are only there the BARE minimum to keep up and pay bills then rent it out the rest of the time for stupid high prices but shit places. The housing crisis is so bad in Vancouver BC that if you are below the poverty line or are disabled you get thrown into what they call "*SRO* units" (*Single Room Occupancy* Units) which in Vancouver equals a literal trap or crack house. Sure they are affordable but they never have rooms available and if they do you never have peace there is drug use all around you constant cops and fighting....it's bs....fuck the housing crisis
Why do half of them cost more for a week than what I make at work in a month then, up the north!!
This illustrates why landlords must be reconstituted into fertiliser, and their assets redistributed amongst the needy.
Daddy's probably threatening to cut them off if they don't go to uni, that's why they're studying
Studio flats are basically fancy prison cells... prove me wrong 😂
watching this while eating my party pizza
Never been happier to live in liverpool in a nice 1 bed (non studio) flat for 600 a month 😂
me, observing this video from my 460€/month 2-room appartment:
im in uni outside of london in the south west of the country and pay £125 a week for my and my flatmate's 5 bedroom house with bills included. my actual home is in london so i know if i want any chance of living near home when i move out of my parents i'll need to sell a couple organs to afford it
I remember one of my relatives had to move to London for work, 1 bedroom apartment in Kensington ( I think, it was really close to the National History Museum) & it was something like 3k per month. They could afford it but it was just SO MUCH!!
Well why the fuck did they live in Kensington?!
Love the RS music in the backround
There's like no storage in most of the bedrooms and living areas. Where are you supposed to keeo all your designer clothes and your trainer collection???? What about your timepiece collection??? Your Hermes bags??? Let alone have a space to study and keep books etc
Those rents are so bad that even the rich people probably have to sell off all their personal belongings at the end of the week to make rent😊
