Welcome to our F.A.Q.

Our Frequently Asked Questions are famous because we have managed to crunch all the information you need into one place – all thanks to YOU, the members of our community. You are the ones who pass on information to us so that we can share it with others! If you have anything to share, you can drop us a DM at Kiwis in London!

We have made the FAQs easier to navigate as they are really long! That is why we have broken it up into different pages and sections for easy reading.

Do not forget we have designated areas for jobs and flats to make life easier for the hundreds of people who scroll our pages every day. If you’re not sure, click here for Job info and here for flatting info.
