Affordable, managed accommodation sourcing for companies placing interns, graduates, and summer programme participants in London.
London internship programmes attract thousands of students and graduates each year, but finding safe, affordable, and well-located accommodation for a cohort is a significant logistical challenge for employers. Student halls are seasonal, Airbnb is inconsistent, and the private rental market is slow and expensive.
Jigsaw sources managed accommodation for companies running internship and graduate programmes in London. We find studios, shared apartments, and group blocks near your office, with security features that give both the company and the interns confidence — particularly for international participants arriving in London for the first time.

Placing 10-50 interns in London for a summer programme is not the same as booking business travel. The budget per head is lower, the cohort size is larger, and many participants are young adults — sometimes arriving in London for the first time and often from overseas. Safety, affordability, and social proximity all matter.
Jigsaw sources group-rate accommodation near your London office, with building security, communal facilities where possible, and transport links that make the daily commute straightforward. We handle consolidated invoicing so your finance team processes one payment, not fifty.
