At Londonist, innovation is never an afterthought; it is a commitment.
We are proud to announce the launch of the Londonist App, a purpose-built platform created to enhance, streamline, and personalise the entire student experience in London.
From booking a room to managing essential services, the Londonist App represents a step forward in our mission to deliver smart, connected, and student-first housing solutions.
Designed With Purpose, Built for Real Life
The app was developed with a clear intention: to simplify the way students interact with their accommodation journey. Over the years, we have witnessed the challenges international students face when moving to a new country, from securing reliable accommodation to managing logistics such as airport transfers, cleaning, and payments. The Londonist App now solves these challenges within a single digital ecosystem.
Through a fast and user-friendly interface, students can:
- Explore over 2,000 verified rooms across 35+ London locations
- Compare prices and neighbourhoods
- Book short- or long-term stays
- Submit viewing requests
- Confirm bookings within minutes
The platform extends beyond housing. With one tap, users can:
- Arrange airport transfers
- Schedule cleaning and laundry
- Order meal packs
- Access luggage storage
- Activate eSIMs and WiFi
- Book travel services with ease
Every touchpoint of the app is designed to be intuitive, mobile-first, and multilingual, supporting the needs of today’s globally connected students.
Empowered by AI and Human-Centred Support
One of the key advancements behind the Londonist App is the integration of AI-driven support features. Students can access 24/7 multilingual assistance via live chat, WhatsApp, or voice call, all of which are embedded into the platform.
This real-time, omni-channel service framework ensures every student receives timely help in the language they’re most comfortable with, reducing friction and building trust. The app adapts to preferences, responds intelligently to queries, and keeps students informed through smart notifications and booking updates.
A Value-Driven Solution for Partners and Agents
For our partners, agents, and institutional collaborators, the Londonist App is more than just a digital tool; it is a strategic extension of the Londonist experience. The platform enhances transparency, speeds up booking cycles, and ensures your students are well-supported from the moment they inquire to the day they arrive.
Technology should enhance, not replace, human connection, and this principle remains at the heart of our approach.
Why We Built It
Londonist has always championed technology-enabled growth. As leaders in student accommodation services in London, we recognised a gap in the market for an integrated, mobile-first solution that could serve both our students and our global partner network.
The Londonist App is a result of that vision, where tech, service, and experience come together.
Experience It First-Hand
The Londonist App is now available on the App Store and Google Play.
We encourage our partners, clients, and friends to explore it for themselves and to recommend it to students preparing to live and study in London.
