...combed through the classified ads (or "adverts," as the British call them), searched the student listings at the University of London, and surfed through every accommodations Web site I could find. As a last resort, I even tried sending out a request through the inter-office email classifieds ("URGENT: summer intern seeks housing"). To my surprise and delight, a fellow employee responded to my email, offering a lovely room just within my price range. I made an appointment to see the room the next day.
