London · United KingdomThe London groups for 2027-2028 are not open yet
There is no verified London group for the 2027-2028 academic year yet. Each cycle's groups usually open between May and July of the preceding year, once places are confirmed. We only publish a group once its invite link genuinely works, so this page will update as soon as a London group is confirmed.
In the meantime, here is what we do know about London:
Erasmus in London: what to know first
A global capital. Free museums, total diversity and some of the world's top universities.
The London groups for the 2027-2028 academic year are not run by any institution: they are opened by students arriving that same year, usually between the spring and summer before. They fill in waves — first the people with a confirmed place, then the ones locking down housing — which is why a group created too early often stalls half empty.
You do not need to join all of them. Start with the one that solves your most urgent problem in London, and add the rest once you have an arrival date.
In London the general group is usually the best way in: it is where everything else gets arranged.

A beer
- Rough monthly floor in London

Rent + transport + eight drinks a month. It is a floor, not a full budget: no food, tuition or travel included.

Before you join a London group
Erasmus groups are also hunting ground for rental scams, especially in London when demand spikes. Three rules head off almost every problem:
- 01Never pay a deposit or a holding fee for a room you have not seen, contract or no contract: it is the most common scam and the most expensive.
- 02Be wary of anyone who pulls you out of the group into a private chat to close the deal fast and under pressure.
- 03A price far below the city reference is almost never a bargain; it is the bait.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there London groups for 2027-2028 yet?
None for London in 2027-2028 has a working link yet. We would rather list nothing than dead links.
When do the London groups for 2027-2028 open?
Between May and July of the preceding year. They are opened by the students arriving in London, not the university, so there is no official date.
How much does renting in London cost?
A one-bedroom flat outside the centre costs around 2032 € a month in London (Numbeo, July 2026); a room in a shared flat is usually cheaper. An offer far below the market deserves suspicion.
Is it safe to join a London WhatsApp group?
MyErasmus does not manage or moderate these groups. The real risk is rental scams in London: never pay a deposit for a room you have not seen.
Are there university-specific groups in London?
Yes. In London we have Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, Adam Smith Institute, American University in London on record. Ask in the general group for your faculty's.
Can I join before my place is confirmed?
Yes, it is the norm in London. Check anything important with your international office.
Can I submit a London group that already exists?
Yes, via the submit button. We review it by hand and only publish it if the link works.
MyErasmus does not manage or moderate external WhatsApp groups. Links are verified periodically but may become inactive. Always exercise caution when joining external groups.
