Here are some comments from our past and prospective Springboard tenants:
Unique and enriching experience. The house had a welcoming and social atmosphere, bringing together people from all over the world. I loved the spontaneous chats and shared moments that made everyday the life more enjoyable.
It felt like a great balance between having personal space and being part of a friendly, international community. Definitely suggest staying here if new to London.
Amy, 2025
I have lived at Thornfield Road for over 3 years and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is considering it as a potential future home. The property is well kept, the tenants are extremely friendly and Tim and Saskia have always been extremely approachable and easy to get in touch with!
Sherief, 2024
Just for confirmation, myself and Aimee moved out of Bamborough on Saturday. Thanks again for all your effort in making the house a lovely place to live.
Meg and Aimee, 2024
Thanks for being such a fab landlord and for all of your help over the past 6 months!
Jess, 2024
I’d like to thank you for the time I have spent here, this was the perfect place for when I just moved to London but now sadly time to move on.
Megan, 2024
I lived at the Thornfield property for one year, during this time there were no issues at all with the Landlord.
They were responsive to requests and what I think worked well is there is someone in the house that helps manage requests/issues so there is not much direct contact with them which makes it more relaxed. They allow you to do a rolling contract after 6 months which is a nice touch as this is quite rare when renting in London.
I’d definitely recommend!
Lydia, 2024
One of the easiest ways I have rented in London! Your not worrying about bills and housemate politics so you can get on and make the most of what the City has to offer!
The house is always clean and tidy, housemates are a lovely bunch of people and makes it a nice place to come home to after work. Location is unbeatable with Westfields being 8 minutes away! Thank you!
Leigh, 2024
Bamborough Gardens Springboard is a great place to live if you’re looking for a social experience with other young professionals, where many of the difficulties of renting aren’t taken away.
With perks such as bills being included, a cleaner 3 x a week and lots of communal equipment already in the house, Springboard makes life simple!
It’s also in a great location with several tube stations within a 5-minute walk and lots to do in the surrounding areas.
I’d specifically recommend Springboard to young professionals new to London, looking to meet people and transition into a new city with ease.
Adam, 2024
Moved to London almost four years ago now and spent 3 of that in springboard, Fulham. Here I made friends for life. Moving to London not knowing anyone, this place had everything – someone to talk too and hang out with and also the rooms made it feel like you also had your own apartment. Couldn’t recommend it enough – probably 3 of the best years of my life.
Katie, 2024
I moved here when I first came to London and I’m so glad I did. Everything is so easy, it’s the perfect introduction to London. No worries about bills (all inclusive) or cleaning (cleaner comes 3 times a week), and best of all I made some great friends. The landlord, Tim, is fair, reasonable and responsive. I stayed for 2 years and would have stayed longer if I wasn’t moving in with my girlfriend.
Rory, 2024
Great location! Honestly had tons of good memories here.
Lester, 2024
I moved in to Thornfield Road at the beginning of 2018, and 5 years later I am still here! I’ve made so many friends with many tenants past and present, but to be honest, the house is perfect and I have no desire to move anywhere else at the moment. Why? The location is ideal with so many transport links, if one tube line is down, even 2 tube lines: not a problem! The proximity to food shops of all budgets, as well as Westfield on your doorstop adds to the convenience. The frequency of the cleaner means any messier tenants aren’t a major issue. And having all bills included is advantageous. The state of the house is fairly good, despite it being an older building, AND (although this may seem silly) the lack of mould in the house is such a relief and seems to be an anomaly in the London rental market at this budget level. Finally, the landlord actually treats us like people, as opposed to simply a source of income – they are friendly, fair and fairly quick to respond. All in all, I feel like I lucked out with finding this property to live in – Thanks Tim & Springboard!
Hannah, 2024
When I moved to London it was important for me to live in a friendly and sociable house. Thank goodness I found Springboard! All the other rooms around London I looked at within my budget weren’t even a patch on what Springboard offered. I’ve now lived in the Thornfield house for 3 years, and it’s been brilliant. I now call it home and have made friends for life. In addition, having all bills included and a cleaner 3 times a week is a magic formula for minimising any ‘disagreements’ within the house environment. Not to mention the location is ideal as we’re walking distance from 3 tube lines, numerous bus stops AND we have Westfield on our doorstep. All in all, I’m very happy here. Thanks Springboard for making the scary move to London very easy and providing the ideal environment to flourish!
Hannah – Thornfield Road, 2021
We moved to London from pretty far away but Springboard made the process very easy. Staying here allowed us to make friends quickly, despite us not knowing anyone before we arrived. The room was spacious and the building in a great location. Even with Covid-19, any maintenance required was done promptly and in good cooperation with us. The management was friendly and always listened to any wishes we might have.
Tenant – Thornfield Road, 2021
“Probably the best thing about Springboard is having all the bills included in the rent with cleaning multiple times in the week. Just makes things that much easier! Also it’s the perfect place if you’re social as you meet so many like minded people!”
Ata – Thornfield Road, 2021
Great place, perfect location!
I’ve met really good friends here 🙂
Maria, 2020
Would highly recommend living here if you’re moving to London! Central enough and you’ll meet lots of people in a similar situation.
Ollie, 2020
A great way to meet people and get a start in London life. I’ll miss my time here and highly recommend it!
Alice – Barons Court, 2019

It has been a wonderful year and a half at Springboard Barons Court with many great memories and lasting friendships – thank you for all the work you do in making it a perfect place for me and I’m sure many others to start their time in London!
Sam, 2020

Dan, 2018
A great way to meet people and get a start in London life. I’ll miss my time here and highly recommend it!
Alice, 2018
I loved it straight away. It’s particularly perfect for these uncertain times when a friendly community at home and big common areas are invaluable. It made lockdown so much easier.
Tom, 2019
It was so helpful to have Springboard while settling into working life.
Alex – Barons Court, 2018
The large number of people meant if was easy to socialise when you wanted, but you were also free to have a quiet night in when needed, without anyone disturbing you or trying to lure you to be pub. Regular cleaners were great. The proximity to the tube was also a major bonus.
Oliver – Barons Court, 2017
Rob has always been great!
Jack (KPMG) – West Hampstead, 2016
Great for socialising, clean, good location, good shared areas.
Jordan – Fulham, 2016
Springboard was an excellent first step in moving m London. I have lived with many great housemates, had a lot of fun, and had a good base for work and exploring the rest of the city. It’s a really easy format with a single monthly payment and has made the whole process stress free. The house has always been in good condition and well looked after. Thanks Rob!
Matthew – Thornfield Road, 2016
A fab set up – once the rent had been paid, I didn’t have to worry about any other bills, along with fab facilities and Rob is a great manager, for example when I have locked myself out of my room on a Sunday, he was more than happy to give me his keys etc.
Becky – Civil Service, West Hampstead, 2016
Great way to meet people. Rob was friendly and helpful.
Abi – MOD, Fulham, 2016

Lydia – L’Oreal Paris, Thornfield Road, 2016
Perfect for someone who works anti-social hours. Not too noisy at all. Good social opportunities though eg flat crawl.
Emily – West Hampstead, 2016
The location is fantastic, perhaps one of the best in London. My room was nicely done with lots of storage and a sink, handy hanging hooks too. Nice big windows and mirrors make the room feel bigger than it is. Was great to initially come into a friendly social environment when it could have been very lonley and scary moving from a tiny village to the big city on my own.
Helen – Barons Court, 2016
When problems did occur they where sorted out very quickly by Rob and the handy man.
The building was maintained to a good standard. Cleaners where also very good and reliable.
Luke – Propel London, West Hampstead, 2016
Really good atmosphere – fun, lively and social.

Everyone I met was pleasant and welcoming, utilities worked consistently, and there were no hidden costs. The location really is hard to beat.
Colin – Marks & Spencer, Fulham 2016
I absolutely loved living here for the past 3.5 years. Its the most hassle free and friendly accommodation I can imagine. Very sorry to leave.
Alexandra – West Hampstead, 2016
A friendly atmosphere meeting like minded people. I moved to London not knowing anyone and have met some great people. Rob is good at getting back to you and the standard of work by maintenance is usually high. It is also easy as all bills included. As a whole I have been extremely impressed with Springboard and Rob, and would recommend it to anyone looking to move to London.
Ben – Wandsworth Council Planning, Fulham, 2016
Rob has been fantastic in welcoming me to SpringBoard, and making sure my stay was enjoyable as possible. He is an asset to SpringBoard.
Gozde – The BMJ, West Hampstead 2016
1) Simplicity of paying just one bill. This was a huge benefit that saved me a lot of time (especially given the long hours I work)
2)The fast responses to any queries I had, whether they be about maintenance/cleaning or other topics entirely. On this topic, all maintenance issues I raised were fixed in a timely manner.
3) Location. The proximity to the tube station and easy access to central London was a huge plus.
Lauren – Goldman Sachs, Barons Court, 2016
Great location, Rob was always easy to get hold of and helpful.Very welcoming and friendly. Rob has always been great!
Alex – KPMG, West Hampstead, 2016
For the location and the inclusions, the price was actually quite reasonable. It was a great way to meet people when arriving in London for the first time. Maintenance issues were fixed fairly promptly, and household improvements were carried out regularly.
Becky – KUONI, Thornfield Road, 2016
My experience at Springboard was great. I moved from another country to the UK to live in London and I am really thankful of how easy the renting process and my life here were. The rent inclusive of bills removes all the hassle related to renting a typical property. Further to this, any issue is sorted out efficiently and quickly by Rob. I’d recommend Springboard to any friend – it makes life easier!
Lorena – Scottish Power, West Hampstead, 2016
Rob has been very responsive and everything is in good state.
Simon – GA Associates London, Fulham, 2016
Amy always got back to me really quickly and sorted things out when required – brilliant service. It was easy to stay at Springboard paying just one monthly payment and having nothing to worry about. Also really nice to meet people, there are people who have left that I still keep in touch with. Barons Court is a brilliant location and so great being so close to the tube and not having to walk far.
Amy – Barons Court, 2016
The building itself is lovely and the rooms are a good size. Nice windows etc. Would have loved to stay if I wasn’t being seconded abroad for work. I would love to come back upon my return. Nice people living at Springboard and Amy was always very helpful.
Tabitha – Clifford Chance, Barons Court, 2016
Lovely people and live in landlord which was very prompt to fix issues such as when my bathroom tap was leaking and when bookshelves were broken.

Just wanted to say thank you, it’s been really great to live at Springboard, I’m not exaggerating when I say that it has changed my life in a very positive way.
Sarah – Bloomberg, West Hampstead, 2016
Moving in was very simple and no hassle at all, which is exactly what I wanted a few days before I started my first graduate job. Not having to worry about sorting bills, purchasing kitchen equipment or giving the house a good clean made my move to London and my time here stress-free.
Hannah – Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Fulham, 2016
I have really enjoyed the social spaces, its great for when you have friends to stay and it has been really good having the option of two lounges, so we have a comfy room and a party room! When I moved in I was very shy and Amy made a real effort to make sure that I made friends and fit in. The springboard parties have been allot of fun, particularly the one at Elk. Its good having dishwashers and washing machines that are included in the price. I really like the location of Barons Court, its a great distance to London and the local area is lovely. Its nice living with so many like minded young people, we had great fun watching the Football/rugby world cup together. Springboard nights can vary from a quiet night watching a film, playing games with my housemates, pool, to exploring all parts of London.
Jenny – Coca Cola, Barons Court, 2016
The facilities are fairly good. Washing machine, dryers, kitchen, lounge etc. Rob is always quick to respond to messages and is easy to have ‘difficult conversations’ with.
Paul – ELEXON, Fulham, 2016
Simple, easy, clean and warm accommodation. Rob is really friendly and helpful with problems. Great location, close to tubes and shops/bars etc.

The building was clean and had good facilities. Cinema room and Gym were particularly useful.
Will – Third Millennium Publishing, West Hampstead, 2015

Rachel – Barons Court, 2015
Very easy and well looked after.
Marinus – CBI, Bamborough Gardens, 2015
Fantastic location, super close to both the central line and the hammersmith and city lines. So close to zone one it took me 30 minutes to get to work. The house is really big and spacious, with a great common living area and kitchen. Enough bathrooms so you never have to wait to shower and the room is nice and bright. Spacious and really comfortable! A great place to live!
Barbara – Skills Alliance, Bamborough Gardens, 2015
Very convenient and no hassle. Plenty of notice, when things needed to be done to rooms or the wider flat. The facilities in general are good, the kitchen and cleaning generally very good.

Great place – thanks Springboard – truly been a pleasure! Feel free to include my testimonial on your website!
Amna – DLA Piper, West Hampstead, 2015
Springboard made the transition to London living very easy. The rooms are to a high standard and are designed in such a way as to maximise storage.
Sam – Trainee Barrister, Fulham, 2015
Very easy, good facilities, nice people. Rob was great.
Stephen – Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, West Hampstead, 2015
1. Maintenance effectiveness: Whenever a tenant reports an issue in relation to the maintenance (i.e appliance default, problem with electricity etc…) it is dealt with swiftly and effectively. I believe this is one of the best strength of Springboard. We (busy young professionals) do not need an extra layer of stress. I believe the big electricity issue SB had few months back was handled well. The constant updates you provided throughout the event were very good.
2. Social: There seems to be a very good social life and vibe in springboard. I really enjoyed the flatcrawl, very good way to break the ice between tenants.
3. Cleaners: They do a great job in maintaining the common areas clean, particularly taking the bins out etc…which if passed to tenants would cause unnecessary conflicts.
4. Safety: I believe the building is made safe for the tenants, CCTV in sensitive points, reactive lights at the entry and so forth… in addition to the big fence at the back protecting the back rooms.
Mehdi – Goldman Sachs, West Hampstead, 2015
My time at Springboard Barons Court was one of the most enjoyable and memorable times of my life.Immediately after moving in I had a supportive and diverse friendship group. From all parts of the UK and the world. The rooms are nice, and the building well maintained. The inclusion of all bills makes the payment process incredibly simple and stress-free. Not to mention the fantastic links to public transport. Amy Tayler makes the Springboard experience superb. She is professional, caring, and friendly. No request is too challenging for Amy; she is a true asset.
Curtis – Product Manager, Barons Court, 2015
Great place to live when you first move to london, not just because it’s an easy place to live as the bills are included, but it also gives you a chance to meet new people and expand your social calendar.
Simon – Egress, West Hampstead, 2015
Springboard is a great place to move and in such a fantastic location. Really enjoyed meeting new people and experiencing the London life style.
Demi – Barons Court, 2015
Very easy, good facilities, nice people. Rob was great.
Stephen – Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, West Hampstead, 2015
The downstairs area, i.e. the cinema room, kitchen and gym. The gym is always quiet as is the cinema room and its a great place to take guests. Also, many a time when my parents visited they were able to park their car on the drive (only after asking Rob, of course!) with no issues and if there were the facebook group soon got word around!
Emily – Metropolitan Police, West Hampstead, 2015
Sociable
Good management

Emergency jobs were handled quickly. Staying with likeminded people who are at a similar career point to me was good, having just moved to London.
Ruth – Trainee Solicitor, Bamborough Gardens, 2015
– It lives up to the ‘hassle free’ brand – the only ‘adminstration’ I’ve had to do was when I moved in and when I requested a light bulb to be changed and furniture to be removed (both of which were done within day).
– The communal spaces are very good: the gym has everything that I needed, and the conservatory is very pleasant.
Adam – Solicitor, West Hampstead, 2015
Enjoyed the social aspect of that house. There’s nothing better than moving in with 28 ready made friends when moving to London.
Dominic – Recruiter , Fulham, 2015
Rooms were of good size and hot water always running.
Bhanu – Consultant, PWC, West Hampstead, 2015
Springboard is fantastic for meeting like-minded people when you first move to London. I’m so glad I found it.

Finally, Rob is really helpful when any issues arise – things are dealt with and fixed/replaced promptly with minimal hassle.
Cathal – Atrium Underwriters, Fulham, 2015
The moving in process was so easy. Communication by Rob was fantastic and was so effortless on my part (particularly compared to the agent involved in my last move out). Rob is always happy to help and has done a very good job of managing the house. The house is very up to date and modern, with anything that is broken being replaced immediately. The TV. Alan the handyman does a really good job
Matthew – Hardy Underwriting, Thornfield Road, 2015
Ease of all bills included, cleaning service is excellant

I think the whole concept of Springboard is a really good idea. Made moving to London a lot easier than it might possibly have been.

Georgina – Lloyds Banking Group, Fulham (& West Hampstead previously) 2015
Location and area-easily accessible by the tube and buses, lots of shops around and a big bonus is Waitrose nearby. In terms of rooms- very warm and showers are qood. Rob is very nice and helpful.

Springboard is a safe and clean environment to live in and I have thoroughly enjoy my stay. Amy has been fantastic as a landlord and is always very quick to help.

Anna – Barons Court, 2015
Very convenient, good location, Rob is great (very accommodating, likable and easy to deal with). I really don’t think there’s anything to improve on – I had a really good experience.
David – Fidelity, West Hampstead, 2015
Whether going out or playing football, there are always plans if you want to join, good cleaning service, FANTASTIC location
Rodolfo – Barons Court, 2015
Living in Springboard has certainly made my first 6 months of living and working in London a great experience. I believe this is to do with the group of people currently living in Fulham, although the convenience of paying a single amount without the worry of sorting bills etc and a regular cleaner has been good.
Alastair – UCL, Fulham, 2015
Very spacious room for many options (a ledge for TV stand, etc), decent storage space. -Fast feedback from Rob to sort out any issues on the property. Cleaners every other day (such an important thing given the size of the house)
Harry – Santander (Thornfield Road – 2015 (previously a West Hampstead tenant as well))
Overall, a fab room! I really enjoy the atmosphere in the building, I always felt safe and at home here. The standard of the cleaning is great and my flatmates were also lovely people to live with, considerate and also great fun! Problems/ issues were always dealt with swiftly
Felicity – West Hampstead, 2015
Simply super! I am sad to leave. Great communal atmosphere and our cleaner is so dedicated and thorough. Rob ALWAYS attended to requests swiftly and maintenance issues were always attended to like yesterday ;-). Polite communication and heads-up too when access to room was required
Barbara – Fulham, 2015
Great place to live with nice housemates. Very good facilities in the house. Good cleaning and handiwork when things go wrong.
Overall extremely happy with my time in Bamborough gardens.
Jack – Junior Doctor, Bamborough Gardens, 2015
I like the freedom and flexibility to either get involved in the social aspect, or escape to your room, which has been helpful during exams. Having cleaners for communal areas is also very convenient. Amy has been great with getting things fixed whenever anything has gone wrong.
Talisa – Deloitte, Barons Court, 2015
Cleaners were good. Really enjoyed the socials and Amy was always helpful.
James – Barons Court, 2015
It’s been a fantastic starting point moving down to London at a different time from any of my friends. Everyone is really friendly, and it’s a hassle free way of living. It was exactly what I was looking for when I moved down to my grad scheme in London.
Jonty – Barons Court, 2014
The location of the property was really good. Regular cleaning of communal areas including the kitchen was also definitely welcome. Amy has been really good at sorting out any issues.

I loved almost everything about my time at Springboard. It was a great way to meet people after moving back to London and it was a very sociable house. I had a great time living here. The facilities were good and everything was maintained to a very high standard. Nothing was too much work for Amy and emails/problems were responded to very quickly. Thank you!
Eloise – Barons Court, 2014
The best thing about staying in Fulham were the lovely, friendly people who make it a home! The efficiency to which things were repaired and dealt with by the landlord and I thought my room was great-it’s a really good use of space and it’s cosy and comfortable.

Facilities were good and the people were friendly.
David – Barons Court, 2014
I have lived in springboard fulham for around 5 years now and it has been a great place to live – the people are nice, the communal area’s create great opportunity to meet new people and you can still have quiet time in your bedroom when you like. All the tv’s have sky which is great too!
Richard – Vinci Construction, Fulham, 2014
Good sociable atmosphere, very good for me as i just moved down and didn’t know any one, like the FB group and drinks, good way to get to know people.
Raj – Arrowgrass, West Hampstead, 2014
Nice rooms. Good opportunity for people to make new friends if they’re new to London. Majority of problems get sorted easily. Hassle free accommodation in a great location. Good cleaning service.

Good level of support to fix issues. Great location. Well kept shared areas.
Roberto – Mezzo, Thornfield Road, 2014
Rob was always there to answer any of my queries (and there were many!). I would like to thank him the most for always being a great diplomat between tenants and owners and answering our fire alarm calls at 2 am in the morning. Without him it would never work so well! I just moved into London and I was feeling rather lonely, Springboard was an amazing place to start out being surrounded with like minded people. I wish i could stay longer.
Karolina – Decision Resources, Fulham, 2014
Response to issues was always timely. Good social aspect.

-Overall it is a good stepping stone for moving into London
James – Barons Court, March 2014
It was really easy to move in. Before moving to the UK I had some things needing shippment and Rob was very nice to accept them in my place and put them in my room. He made moving to London very easy. Moreover, whenever they were problems (toilet blockage or faulty machines in the kitchen) they were resolved very fast.
Christina – ESCP, West Hampstead, 2014
Good sense of community, great having communal areas and how bills were included in rent so didn’t have an extra worry. Thank you.

Springboard has been an extremely enjoyable and comfortable ‘home away from home’ for the past 14 months.

Lavanya – Ernst & Young, West Hampstead, 2014

Great price and the people I share my room with are extremely nice and considerate which has made my time here enjoyable.

Graeme – Birkbeck College, West Hampstead, 2013
Ease of living and responsiveness to problems which arose with the flat were a real plus.

A great stay, thanks so much for all your help Rob!

Springboard was the perfect place for me to move into having come all the way down from Scotland and not really knowing anyone in London. It was extremely easy to meet new people and get involved in activities within and out with the building.
Scott – Elipse Insurance, West Hampstead, 2013
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Springboard West Hampstead. As a newcomer to London, it provided me with a safe and friendly home in a fantastic location. Particular thanks go to Rob because he has always been so helpful with any issues I faced during my year here. He is an incredibly valuable asset to the building. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Springboard to colleagues and friends in the future.
Kathleen – Deloitte, West Hampstead, 2013
Location. Really close to useful amenities and transport facilities. Safe and secure. Because it is on a busy main road it is safe coming home late at night. Good sound insulation in relation to other tenants. Rob was easy to contact and was quick to respond to things and was on top of everything. I would definitely recommend Springboard to a young person moving to London for the first time.
Rachel – Fulham, 2013
I had a great time. Perfect place to move in when moving to London. Would have stayed longer if I didn’t have to move back to The Netherlands.
Marcia – Deloitte, West Hampstead, 2013
Overall, I had a great stay at Springboard. I just loved the overall convenience of not having to deal with different types of bills and maintenance issues. The location was very well connected to my office, so it was just a 25 mins door to door commute. Last but not the least, Rob is a superb individual. He was really responsive, and helpful all the way though.
Manish – LBS, West Hampstead, 2013
– Fantastic rooms and facilities
– Great sense of community
– A good social calendar – important when you’re new to the city!
– Excellent location – safe and well connected

James – KPMG, Fulham, 2013
I have thoroughly enjoyed my three and a half year stay at Springboard Fulham. Moving and setting up life in a new country can be difficult, and Springboard made it easier for me to do. I don’t think that I would have lasted as long as I have in London, if it hadn’t had been to Springboard! Being able to move straight into a flat, with bills included, in a great location, has been great and stress-free – not to mention the benefit of making lots of long-life friends! I will always have fond memories of my time at Springboard, from the summertime BBQs in the garden, the awesome nights out with 28 housemates, and themed parties. Rob has been a great landlord, always quick and responsive to my queries
Amanda – IPSOS, Fulham, 2013
Great house and great location.
Ravi, Bamborough Gardens, 2013

I moved to springboard as a new graduate. It was a perfect social set up to start my new life in London. The location of the house is great, close to lots of bars and shops.
Lesley – Fulham, 2013
I enjoyed knowing that I only needed to worry about having to make one payment per month, and didn’t have to setup bills etc. The number of facilities such as the gym, table tennis table and cinema room were also a benefit.
Andrew – Department for Transport, West Hampstead, 2013
Moving to London on your own can be a bit daunting, yet springboard allowed me to have a ready made network of friends and always a friendly person to talk to. Springboard is great because you can choose for alone time In your room or go downstairs where there is always film on in the lounge or people to chat to in the kitchen. Most people are very like minded and sociable and there are always activities planned. I love the cleaner coming every day. It means no arguments over washing up!
Charlotte – Foxtons, Fulham, 2013
Springboard was a brilliant place to start life in London. The ease of securing the room and not having to worry about working out bills, cleaning etc. was exactly what I needed. However it is the social side that really makes Springboard what it is, I’ve had some fantastic times here and made great friends, 3 of which I am now moving out with to start phase 2 of life in London.
Rachel – Johnson Contols, Fulham, 2013
Very friendly staff and a great living environment!
Emma – Deloitte, West Hampstead, 2013
The cleaning service is very good. I felt very safe in the building. All house mates lovely.
Maddison – Fulham, 2013
The convenience was the best thing; if anything went wrong or maintenance needed to be done, it was very easy to get it sorted out.
Joy – Apple, West Hampstead, 2013
Great place to meet new people – this was most of the reason for me moving in and the communal areas are a really great place to socialise and meet others. Very convenient – one bill, en-suite, decent kitchen, gym in the building and a great transport location.
Adam – TNS Market Research, West Hampstead, 2013
Springboard made it very easy to move to London for the first time – lovely room, bills included and a cleaner as a bonus!

– Bills all included makes life easier
– Cleaner makes life easier
– Safe and secure building
– Met some good people
– Super responsive on issues (leaks, lost keys etc)

Will – Adobe, West Hampstead, 2013
Springboard was the perfect set-up for me when I moved to London, as I had to find somewhere to live quickly. Everyone was extremely welcoming, there’s always someone to talk to in the kitchen or the living room, but its easy to have space in your rooms if necessary. Having a cleaner relieved a lot of the pressure to clean after a long day at work.
Sian – Immediate Media, Fulham, 2013
I think Springboard is just a great idea and a great proposition to young professionals. Two thumbs up!
Guido – Oxera, Bamborough Gardens, 2013
Springboard is such a great place to live, that even after moving on to a new place, I moved back in after a while! With one payment a month covering all bills, and a ready made social life, you can’t ask for more as a busy young professional in London
Becky – BBC World, Thornfield Road & West Hampstead, 2013
Convenience with the bills. Well managed property. Great social life. Very efficient and helpful property manager. No complaints. It was perfect.
Aleem – Fitch Ratings, West Hampstead, June 2013
Size of room. Simplicity of payment – just paying one lump sum a month and not having to worry about bills. Having a cleaner for the kitchen and bathrooms – the issue of these areas being dirty and whose responsibility it was to clean them has been a source of conflict in previous house-shares, so it was nice not to have that at Springboard. Lovely kitchen and living room area downstairs. Rob being very helpful and quick to respond to any queries
Lindsay – Bamborough Gardens, 2013
Fantastic social aspect. I’ve made some wonderful friends.
Katherine – Deloitte, West Hampstead, 2013
I have throughly enjoyed my nearly three years at Springboard; I think the friendly social atmosphere of the building is one of it’s greatest strengths. In addition, I have always found both Rob and the maintenance team to be extremely helpful and repairs I have requested have always been completed very quickly.
Daniel – MOD, West Hampstead, 2013
I have really enjoyed staying at Thornfield, it has been a great experience. Everyone is really lovely and made me feel welcome. I recommend it to anyone moving to London. Rob, you do a great job!
Kira – Foxtons, Thornfield Road, 2013
Springboard is a fantastic place for people starting up in London. It has a great atmosphere and the people here are lovely. The maintenance and upkeep of the house is also brilliant. If there are any problems, they are solved very quickly. Having all the bills covered is very useful.
Matt – Abercrombie & Fitch, Fulham, 2013
I’ve really enjoyed my time at Springboard, everyone’s been really friendly. It’s reassuring to live somewhere where everythings organised and you feel safe. Rob is great, always friendly and happy to help. Look forward to coming back one day.
Alex – Deloitte, West Hampstead, 2013
Fantastic time at Springboard Rob, wouldn’t have had it any other way!
Charlie – Surveyor, West Hampstead, 2013
Social atmosphere. You always supported the house to ensure that Springboard was as fun as advertised on the website. From supporting parties to purchasing a table tennis table, to a large screen tv – it has all added to the experience – Quick response to house issues. Whenever I contacted Rob re any problems with the house or my room he made sure they were dealt with quickly.
Ben – PWC, Fulham – April 2013
A very nice and friendly place to stay. Rob was very helpful and always on top of things. Locations was amazing and for the monthly rent, well worth it. Highly recommended to anyone for short or long stay!!!
HSBC Graduate – West Hampstead, 2013
Decent sized room, en-suite was good. Kitchen facilities were as expected and cleaning service saved a lot of time and hassle of washing up. Good extras (pool table, table tennis etc.) which added to the social side of the house – handy as I didn’t know anyone when I moved down here!
Colin – Aberdean Asset Managment, West Hampstead, 2013
Great concept – as moved down to London for the first time and enabled me to make alot of friends quickly.
Matt – CBRE, Fulham, 2013
Great place to live when starting out in London. Has a real community feel to it and building management is great and very helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Akshay, Amazon (West Hampstead – February 2013)
The furniture and appliances were all fantastic, very modern, clean etc. The concept is ideal for moving to London for the first time as it removes much of the stress of moving, finding a room, dividing up bills etc. The cleaners!
Hayley – KPMG Graduate, West Hampstead, 2013
Nice house, good housemates, Rob was good at taking care of things that went wrong in the house
Pierre – Consultant, Bamborough Gardens, 2013
Everything was great – no complaints at all!
Liliane – Ernst & Young, West Hampstead, 2013
Springboard was like having a big family – great for making friends when I was new to london
Laura – HSBC, West Hampstead, 2013
Quality room. Sky Plus. All in one bill. Cleaner does excellent job
Crossrail – Thornfield Road, 2013
Quick response from Manager Rob when there is a issue and to get it sorted. Yes, I did enjoy my stay. Sociable atmosphere, nice and friendly neighbours.
Fashion Graduate, West Hampstead, 2013
I have loved my time at Springboard Fulham, I moved down to London not knowing anyone and instantly met a group of people who have become great friends. It’s a fantastic atmosphere with so much going on, I have never once felt lonely or bored and would recommend it to anybody!
Arcadia – Fulham, 2013
The social aspect. Sky tv and lots of kitchen space is great. Garden is a massive plus in the Summer! All problems are generally resolved very quickly.
Deloitte – Fulham, 2013
I enjoyed meeting friends, not having to worry about splitting bills and feeling save and secure in my home.
Crossrail, Thornfield Road, 2013
I’ve had a really fantastic few months at Springboard, and am only moving out because I had a prior agreement with a friend and if I don’t move now I probably never will. It was a great place to spend my first few months in London, finding my feet and getting to know people. I think the communal spaces are brilliant (really no idea why more people don’t use them but I’m not complaining) and the pick up in the social stuff over the latter half of the year has been great – pub trip, LoveFilm subscription etc. I’m only moving 10 minutes or so down the road, so I’m sure I’ll be back.
Research Executive – West Hampstead, 2013
Well equipped, excellent cleaning service, good security.
Inteligent Office UK – Bamborough Gardens, 2012
My whole experience was great. Had very cool flatmates and enjoyed the occasional parties. The management was very efficient as they dealt with issues asap.
Zenith Insurance PLC – West Hampstead, 2012
Well managed, attentive to issues, good mix of friendly tenants.
Boston Consulting – Thornfield Road, 2012
The cleaner three times a week was the main reason this arrangement worked so well. It eliminated most of the tension that could arise between people in the house. – The all-inclusive billing makes life easier (but think about including the cleaner in the weekly cost when renting the rooms). – So reasonable and helpful when it came to repairs in the house. Rob is always understanding and pleasant to deal with.
BBC – Bamborough Gardens, 2012
Hassle free, very friendly and understanding manager, i.e. Rob, very helpful as well Cleaning service Communal space
Tower Watson – West Hampstead, 2012
Great support from management regarding any issues or problem to do with building maintenance – mostly, other tenants in the flat were nice and friendly – good to know there were organised events within the springboard community.
Tower Watson, West Hampstead, 2012
I liked the fact that everything is laid on so one knows exactly what ones outgoings are. Close proximity to transport links is also a great plus.
Virgin Media – Thornfield Road
1) Love the concept of rent includes all the bills- no hassle to make bill payment by ourselves. 2) Building management is very professional and attentive to all repair request etc and very helpful to resolve any issues regarding maintenance promptly. Its easy to deal with Rob and Authur who also help sign our mails for us when we are not it. 3) The building safety and security is good- from the 3 tier security system to the people living here. I feel very secured all the time. 4) Our kitchen are clean most of the time.
VRBS – West Hampstead
I thought that Springboard was convenient. The location is really good and the ease of not having to deal with more than one bill. I felt that there were plenty opportunities to meet new people, if i felt that I wanted to but did not feel that I was obliged to do so. I thought that the fact Rob was on hand at all times was good as he dealt with problems in a reasonable timescale. I felt that Rob would deal with all issues that arose with no complaints.
BPP Graduate – West Hampstead
Transition of handing over the keys and the welcome from Rob. The house is lovely. Rob was contactable at all hours of the day; even left a voicemail at 23.30 with a call back within the hour when we fused the house. Problem was sorted over the phone…very rare does that happen
Network Rail – Thornfield Road
The fact I have stayed at Springboard West Hampstead for 6 years speaks for itself! Living in the building has provided everything I wanted it to when moving to London – a safe place to live, no hassle in relation to bills and a great place to meet new friends. It made moving to London far less daunting than it could have been. A big thank you to Rob and all the team for a great time, with many fantastic memories!
Hogan – West Hampstead
Springboard is incredibly convenient, both in the ease of paying all bills in one payment and in having Rob on site to deal immediately with any problems that arise. This is a godsend when compared to issues I have had with landlords in the past.
Ernst & Young – West Hampstead
Very easy move in and Rob very helpful and willing to be flexible with move in’s etc to suit my move to London. Good crowd of sociable people in the building and the cinema room and kitchen are absolutely ideal for socialising – you can choose to be sociable when you want to, but have privacy when you don’t. Parties fun and a good way to meet new residents.
HSBC – West Hampstead
I honestly have nothing bad to say about Springboard. They have been great. The accommodation is the best I have seen in London by far, and the cleaner makes sure that things never get to dirty.
ITV – Thornfield Road
Springboard makes living so easy. All bills are included and the cleaner makes life much easier. Most issues are solved in a timely manner which is good. Most residents are like- minded young professionals which makes living arrangements pleasant.
JP Morgan – West Hampstead
The facilities are excellent – the rooms are well-appointed, modern and everything is kept clean. I enjoyed meeting other people in the building. Repairs and other issues were taken care of quickly. There was never an issue with utilities. Fast internet and a reliable connection. I will consider moving back into Springboard when I return from my overseas secondment.
Mayer Brown International LLP – West Hampstead
A great location, friendly atmosphere, good quality furniture and an all-inclusive price.
Slaughter and May Graduate – West Hampstead
Springboard is a fantastic offering with one simple monthly payment – it really does take all of the stress and hassle out of the move to a new city! Great house and I wish you had properties in Edinburgh and other cities!
RBS Graduate – Fulham
Springboard was the first place I lived in in London when I started working. And I only moved out only when I got married and we needed a bigger place. It’s easy to see why one wouldn’t want to leave – one bill and one contract (rent, water, heating, electricity, internet, cleaner, etc) meant that life was hassle-free. If that was not enough, you throw in the conveniences of a cinema room (with great sofas and bean bags), gym onsite, table-tennis table, conservatory/games room, BBQ area and you can see why I struggled to leave. Saving the best for last: the ability to meet so many young professionals in an informal setting was a great opportunity to make new and in some cases, long-lasting friendships. Did I mention SB removes the nasty bits of having flatmates by giving you your own bathroom, a daily cleaner for communal areas and tip-top kitchen equipment (large fridge/freezer, washing machine, dryer, multiple hobs) and no bill-sharing? Five stars.
White & Case Lawyer – West Hampstead
It was an incredibly good find, the room is a great size and I really felt at home. The cleaner was amazing and the handyman was a really nice guy too, Rob always did his best to get issues sorted quickly and given that it’s a 9 person house, it’s been hassle free.
William – Saatchi & Saatchi, Bamborough Gardens
Springboard gives the perfect balance of allowing you time to find your feet in a new job, whilst engaging in an active and very fun homelife! I moved to London knowing nobody and will leave having made so many great friends – living in Fulham for the past year has been an amazing experience I will never forget!
Nestle Placement Year – Fulham
Location – Very good in terms of transport links and local amenities. Broadband – Very fast internet. Had no problems with it at all. Storage – My room is not very big but has ample storage. The cleaners have always been very efficient. It is a nice house when it is clean and tidy and I have been very pleased with the high standards of the cleaning staff.
Marketing Graduate – Fulham
I liked the company of the people at Fulham. they were a nice and fun bunch. The good thing is that Rob is always efficient at repairs. I have heard that London landlords can be really slow, but Rob has proven otherwise.
NHS Phd – Fulham
All good, had a lovely time staying in Springboard, both in West Hampstead and Fulham!
Social Media Consultant – Fulham & West Hampstead
It was a great first flat in London – knowing I was coming home to somewhere safe each night put my mind at ease when I was getting used to living in the city. The location is fantastic and transport links are excellent. Maintenance issues were dealt with quickly.
Arcadia Graduate – West Hampstead
Totally enjoyed the social element of Springboard, met loads of nice people and good friends. Loved my room, no problems with that either. Definitely a memorable experience and convenient place to live in a great area.
Retail Graduate – Fulham
I think that Springboard was great way to get use to living in London! I had everything that I needed in order to live comfortably. I would recommend this housing scheme to anyone that is looking for a place to live being new to London.
London Business School Student – West Hampstead
I had a brilliant time at the house. It was a fantastic way to meet new people. I appreciated the genorosity of donations towards occasional parties.
New Media Graduate – Fulham
Great place to meet people, especially when moving down to London. Nice social area and gym facilities, and loved the springboard parties. Good security measures. The right environment- can be a very social space or a quiet environment, when needed to rest.
KPMG Graduate – West Hampstead
Springboard is an amazing concept, and has really helped me settle in to London, I would advise anyone who is/was in the same situation as me to consider this accommodation. The fact that there is a strong culture of socialising in Fulham is what makes it so good, and something which I hope will continue. Small things like a cleaner, laundry room and sky TVs are bonuses. The furnishings in the kitchen and lounge are impressive, I am assuming the garden is great in the summer also.
Recruitment Consultant – Fulham
Nice secure environment and good location. I enjoyed use of the common facilities eg. gym and table tennis Very friendly and accomodating manager…thanks Rob!
Doctor – West Hampstead
Everything it says in the add, takes the daunting prospect of flat hunting in London and offers a safe & frienly environment for people to find their feet in the city. Never wanted for anything, any request or maintenance was always done quickly and without question. Would reccommend it to friends.
BPP Post Graduate Student – West Hampstead
The maintenance staff are really helpful and deal with any issues in a prompt and swift manner. My flat mates throughout the year have been really lovely, as have the other tenants I have met in Springboard. It was great having a gym on site and other facilities.
Douglas & Gordon Graduate – West Hampstead
Springboard makes living in London so easy and comfortable. With one bill and everything arranged for you, it’s great for those moving to London for the first time. It’s a great place to make new friends and create a great social life for yourself!
Sainsburys Graduate – West Hampstead
The management team was very responsive and always on hand when problems (internet, gas, water etc) occured. It very much helps having the building manager live in the building. – having everything taken care of makes this a great place to move into on your first move into London.
Deloitte Graduate – West Hampstead
Great place to meet people when you first move to London. Very friendly environment = instant companionship. Enjoyed the inter-house events and social evenings. Loved the location in Fulham – really convenient for work and lots of places to go to out nearby.
Harrods Graduate – Fulham
Thanks for making me feel welcome here. The socials etc. were great. I liked having an ensuite, and Rob is very responsive and helpful. I will miss being here!
Linklaters Graduate – West Hampstead
I really enjoyed my time in Springboard. The social aspect was the best bit about it for me. Also the kitchen and laundry facilities are really good, as well as the level of cleanliness that is maintained by the cleaner.
Accenture Graduate – Fulham
Its amazing how well Rob and Nick do their job. The only reason I am moving from this place is the location, otherwise, I’d love to be back at Springboard. In terms of fixing the maintenance issues or other issues, Rob and Nick have been at top of things almost everytime. Its very social and the number of activities have increased, which is a big positive.
Accountant – West Hampstead
I really think that the concept in itself is what this place gets the most right, offering a very different experience to people coming from outside London and creating a space to make new friends and meet people who do the same or similar things and inevitably creating a social safety net and great home environment so that people aren’t as overwhelmed by coming to the big city and not knowing anyone. The interiors are of a high standard and the cleaner always does such a great job with making the place look presentable, the facilities are also excellent.
Female – Fulham
Having moved out of Springboard for a short while I ended up moving back, which speaks volumes! It’s a great set-up for graduates, particularly those coming to London for the first time; a ready-made social life if you want it, luxuries such as the gym, cinema and high-spec kitchens that you certainly don’t get in a normal private let, and perhaps most importantly it’s completely hassle-free – perfect for the time in your life when you really want to be concentrating on your career and social life.
Accountant – West Hampstead
Rob has frequently been a lifesaver – whenever anything does go wrong you know that it will be sorted out quickly and with minimal fuss, and the security of the building and its great location meant that I always felt very safe – invaluable i itself. In short, I cannot recommend Springboard highly enough and am very glad I made the decision to live there (twice!)
Accountant – West Hampstead
Absolutely fantastic. I loved every minute that I have been a Springboard and have had a great experience. I couldn’t have imagined an easier transition to London life and found a great group of housemates who quickly became close friends. I will miss it a lot. Thank you for everything that you have done for me and making my time in London so enjoyable. I would not be moving out if the circumstances were different 🙂
Accenture Graduate – Fulham
Very easy setup with bills etc. Location of the Shepherd’s Bush property is impressive and ideal for transport and nightlife. Cleaning service is first rate.
Accountant – West Hampstead
Springboard is so easy and convenient, I loved my time there and will miss it greatly. Having to just worry about one bill is brilliant. The cleaner deserves a medal as she does an outstanding job every day. The social side cannot be beaten as you meet some very friendly, like minded people and makes settling in London much easier. Building manager (Rob) is always on hand and very approachable about any issues you might have. Sky TV and other modern ammenties are also great. Overall I would throughly recommend SpringBoard for anyone looking to settle in London.
RBS Graduate – Fulham
Springboard is a lovely place to live. I made a lot of friends and really enjoyed my time here. Its one of the best things you can do if you are first moving to London.
Norton Rose Graduate – Fulham
I liked having a downstairs area and I think introducing a pool table was a good idea. The parties I went to were really good fun and a great atmosphere. I especially liked the Halloween party when the downstairs was decorated. I think the maintanance staff were were very efficient. They always fixed a problem immediately.
Lane Clark and Peacock Graduate – West Hampstead
The location is fantastic – near tube, overground, night buses stop right outside, near two towns (West Hampstead and Kilburn) for shopping, bars etc. The accommodation is very clean and any problems are sorted immeditealy by Rob who is available anytime. The downstairs has games, cinema etc – I did not really take full advantage of these due to other commitments but its great they are there if you like.
Police Graduate – West Hampstead
Excellent services i.e. cleaning, maintenance (Nick was great!). Also, it’s great for a newcomer in London. I didn’t have to set up a kitchen as everything I needed was already provided. Friendly atmosphere.
Clifford Chance Graduate – West Hampstead
I have had an amazing year staying at Bamborough Gardens during my time in London. Although on the more expensive side of the rented housing scale compared to other private accomodation it is a piece of mind to know that there is only one payment each month which includes everything – very low hassle! Maintenance issues are usually dealt with rather swiftly. Rob has been very good at sorting out hiccups and problems that arise unlike a lot of agents/managers that I have dealt with in my time! Social side of things has been amazing and I have made many great friends living here. Excellent to live with like minded people in a similar situation to yourself who you can hang out with in the house whilst maintaining a private life outside of the house. House is very safe and secure. Overall I have had a fantastic year in London and enjoyed my stay with Springboard. It will be very sad to leave!
Msc Student – Bamborough Gardens
The concept – Having the house maintained – Lovely rooms and large living space – All inclusive price I wish I could stay at Bamborough 🙁

After a fantastic 3.5 years at Springboard, I have now decided to move out of the building. I also wanted to thank you for all your help and assistance during my stay here. My compliments to the maintenance staff at SU (Nick and the team) who have contributed to a virtually painfree experience for me. I will continue to recommend tenants as I have in the past.
PWC Graduate – West Hampstead

I know one person who lives in Fulham at Springboard, and like me she came to London with no friends, but now has plenty!

Playing devil’s advocate (and without this being an endorsement of any particular company’s services), it could be that this type of service fills an exact gap in the market, judging by posts made on this subject by young workers who feel they have good budgets for accommodation but can only find scruffy flatshares with Rigby type landlords. Young professionals may not want to take on the expense and responsibility associated with a long contract for a self-contained property themselves and want high quality accommodation with a responsive management service. Not all tenants are going to be bargain hunters fixated on finding sub market rents. So if they know the benefits of not paying peanuts.

I really liked the rooms I viewed, especially the one with the mezzanine layout! I was especially attracted to the community spirit and the social aspect as I feel that I would meet lots of people in similar situations as myself.

I can’t believe you guys exist! I’ve been doing work placements in London for the past 2 years as part of my uni co-op program and have had troubles finding places to live.

Hi Rob, I kind of have settled down by now and must say I really enjoy staying at Springboard. It is value for money accommodation and the location is perfect. I will definitely turn up at one of the upcoming events to get to know some of the Springboard people.

Accountant – West Hampstead
The idea of moving to another city is daunting as I know only 2 friends in the city (and a handful of co-workers in our London office) and the fact that Springboard community is made up of people in similar situations is fantastic.

Enough space to be social if you want, or have your own space when you need it.
SH – Solicitor, West Hampstead
I decided to rent with you because of the design, layout, rent and age of other tenants. I really appreciated coming back to a house full of friendly faces. I thoroughly enjoyed the Springboard Experience!

Best thing is meeting and living with friendly people of similar age range, and building a good social network.

… the property looks fantastic. This place would be ideal.

…even if I have to live somewhere else until the West Hampstead site is completed. I want to be a tenant there as soon as possible because it is in a very good location close to my future place of work and also the facilities sound excellent.
Graduate – Male
I am just so jealous that this fantastic scheme wasn’t up and running when I moved to London!
