Find a roommate in London

Flat-sharing is a way of life in London, where rents make solo living rare for students and young professionals alike. With UCL, KCL, Imperial, and LSE all central, plus newcomers arriving constantly, the flatmate search is really a search for someone whose budget and routine line up with yours.

High rents make flat-sharing the default — the hard part is filtering a vast pool down to people you'll actually get on with.

Why compatibility matters more than the listing in London

In a market like London, the listings are the easy part — plenty of rooms come and go around Camden and Shoreditch. The hard part is finding someone whose schedule, cleanliness standards, and budget actually line up with yours. That's the difference between a lease you renew and one you count down.

Roomit is a compatibility-first roommate app: instead of swiping on photos, you're matched on the things that predict whether two people will live well together. It runs on iOS and Android, with identity verification built in so you're meeting real people. See how the matching works.
