Why London Bridge earns more
London Bridge is the rare address where a guest can walk to work in the City, eat at Borough Market and end the evening on the river without using transport. That combination pulls four separate audiences at once: finance and legal professionals on weekday assignments, hospital visitors, tourists heading for The Shard and Tower Bridge, and relocating staff waiting on permanent housing.

What makes London Bridge different
The City without a commute
Thousands of banking, insurance and consulting staff work a ten-minute walk over the bridge but prefer to stay this side of it. Corporate demand here is weekday-heavy and books in blocks of one to three weeks, which is why weekday occupancy runs ahead of weekends.
Hospital and relocation stays
Guy's Hospital and the surrounding clinics bring patients, visiting consultants and families who need weeks rather than nights. Combined with relocation bookings from nearby employers, these stays cut turnover and hold the calendar together outside the tourist peaks.

What London Bridge landlords need to know
Regulations in London Bridge fall under the London Borough of Southwark and the standard Greater London short-let framework. We handle the detail. Here's what matters.
Greater London
90
nights per
calendar year
The 90-night rule
Under the Deregulation Act 2015 you can let your entire home short-term for up to 90 nights per calendar year without planning permission. Beyond that, you'd apply to your council for a change of use.
Staymo tracks your nights and keeps you informed.
Leasehold & freeholder rules
Many properties here are leasehold. Check your lease before proceeding — some restrict short-term letting or require freeholder consent. We'll help you understand exactly what to look for during your first call.
Safety requirements
A Gas Safety Certificate (annual), an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), and working smoke & carbon monoxide alarms. We confirm what's in place during your property assessment.
Tax & income reporting
Income from short-letting must be declared to HMRC via Self Assessment. You may be eligible for the property income allowance or Rent a Room relief — worth discussing with your accountant.
