Southwark
Morgan Stanley does not have stays in Southwark from last summer. These are other people who booked housing there for the summer.
Southwark is very central and full of history. It’s walkable to the river, museums, and theaters. The streets feel urban and mixed-use. Nice for people who like being close to both culture and everyday life.

The earlier someone books, the more homes they have to choose from, and the better prices go first.
In January, 60 interns started looking for a June move-in, and 100 new homes were listed. By May, 885 interns started looking in a single month, against 76 new homes, about 12 interns for every new home. When demand outpaces supply, more interns compete for each home, and the best-priced homes are the first to go. Booking before that rush gets you more choice at better prices.
Only June 2026 move-ins are counted. New homes are listings that could cover a June move-in, counted in the month they were first published. Interns searching are people looking for a June move-in on Ohana, counted once, in the month they first searched or messaged a host.
A summer internship is a fixed set of dates, not a year-long lease. The interns who settle in calmly are the ones who match housing to those dates, pick a neighborhood they can commute from, and book while there are still homes to choose from. On Ohana, Morgan Stanley interns rent furnished rooms and apartments from people who already live in London, for the months of the program rather than a hotel rate.
Internship offers often name a season first and the real start and end dates later. Morgan Stanley interns get those two dates in writing, then look for a stay that covers them with a day or two on either side. Arriving before the first morning leaves time to unpack and ride the commute once with no clock running. Leaving a day after the last day avoids a same-day move. If the program shifts the dates, change the stay then, while the listing is still yours.

Morgan Stanley in London works from London. The neighborhoods on this page are the short commutes from that office, and the ones where interns actually stayed last summer. Pick one you can reach the office from without thinking about the transfer on the first morning. Set up subway or transit payment before you travel, ride the route once on the weekend, and leave extra time on day one.

The chart further down is that pattern for London: homes that can cover a summer move-in stay roughly flat, while the number of people starting a search climbs into the spring. The advantage is simply being early. More of the better priced places are still open.
