Got any more details? I'm hopefully looking for a place while on my next contract, but a furnished decent looking place was pricey.

Looks like i'll give those contracts a miss

Presumably you're not going to base your decision on the responses to your post.

Check out job serve, or talk to an agent.

You never know the going rate might be £1000 / day.

The south circular could do with some widening.

That cant be right.....

Whats the typical price for staying in digs over there......?

Yes - £300/day in London sounded tempting until I looked up the cost of a travelodge and considered the travel expenses. I'd have about £180/day left! Travelodge is about £90/night down there.

Not a clue. I'd say £300 a day as that is what a lot of engineery type jobs I have seen are going at.
