Hello - My boyfriend and I are looking for a short let stay between September 1st to October 19t/end of October. We live in West Dulwich originally however are having some renovation work completed on our flat and currently living in North London. Unfortunately we need to be closer to our flat whilst the work commences as the 1.5 hour commute between north and south is proving to become far too time consuming and in-efficient. We need to be closer to our home in south London as we are at the crucial stage of the build and need to be closer to make decisions and be around for anything. Therefore we are looking for a studio or 1 bed flat in West Dulwich, East Duliwch, Bromley, Herne Hill, Brixton, West Norwood, Tulse Hill and surroundings areas.

We would not need to 'move' in exactly, with many items etc... as we would genuinely just live out of our suitcases for the short stay.

I am Monika and work for a company called studio 99 as a development assistant and my partner is an architect. We both work in London, ages 29 and 35. Happy to WhatsApp if easier and if there is any interest at all to discuss further! thanks

  Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more.

  Do none of you go abroad. Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a tiny part of your holiday costs. In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night. The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.

  Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy. The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough. It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs. https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/

  Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it. The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents. 'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further. Kind Regards Dave
