A long term rental

I am moving to London to start my job in management consulting in January, so I am looking to move in December or early January. I am currently in Australia, but come back at the start of December and will attend viewings as soon as I can. I will also do anything that needs to be done remotely before I come back to the UK.

I am looking for a house of maximum 4 or 5 people, who are social, friendly and keep the place clean. I am happy in either an all female house or a mixed household as long as I am not the only female. An added bonus will be for the place to have good kitchen facilities as I do enjoy cooking.

During the week I am likely to be quite busy with work but at the weekends I would be up for exploring London together, going for runs or heading out to a good coffee spot. I am not a massive party person, but do enjoy a pub trip.
