Housing options
Waiting times for social housing in Central London are extremely long and it is likely to be a number of years before people in housing need are rehoused.
Unfortunately Social Housing is not available to everyone. This is mainly due to the low supply and very high demand of social housing in all London Boroughs. There is no short cut to social housing, which means you need to make informed choices about your current accommodation.

Mutual exchange
If you are a tenant in social housing – either Council or Housing Association - and wish to move to another flat you may be able to swap your home with another tenant. Swaps can be arranged to anywhere in the UK and can involve more than two households.
