{ Advert: Young London � The Right Way to Rent and Let }

Young London is the first port of call for thousands of
Londoners looking for a better way to rent or let.

At Young London we take an unusual approach.  
We reward our team based on your feedback, not commission,
so there's no hard sell, just plenty of sound advice.
Our lettings team will find the home that's right for you.

Some call it a new way of renting; we just know it's the
right way to behave.  And we're not the only ones to think 
so...

Young London has been crowned the UK's Best Lettings Agency,
for the second time.

Call 020 7531 7700 or visit http://www.younglondon.co.uk
to experience renting as it should be.

working very hard tending their crops and learning exactly
how food goes from seed, to marketplace, to plate. All the
proceeds from the pupils' veg sales will be donated to
FareShare, an award winning charity which seeks to relieve
food poverty by rescuing good food that would otherwise go
to waste.
