In a normal London rental, the advertised rent is only the start. On top of it you pay council tax, gas, electricity, water, broadband, a gym membership and any classes you want to take. All-inclusive living rolls all of that into a single monthly figure, so you know exactly what leaves your account and when. Here is what that actually means at AndSoul, and how it compares to renting the traditional way.
What all-inclusive includes at AndSoul
Every AndSoul room is a private ensuite, and every monthly price includes the same core things. You get your room, all utility bills (gas, electricity, water and council tax), superfast broadband, weekly cleaning of shared spaces, fresh linen, and daily breakfast. You also get full access to our wellness offer: the gym, the spa, and more than 40 classes a week, from yoga and breathwork to strength and sound baths. Community is built in too, with weekly communal dinners around long tables.
Included every month: private ensuite room, all bills, council tax, superfast broadband, weekly cleaning, fresh linen, daily breakfast, weekly communal dinners, gym, spa and 40+ wellness classes. One payment, from £1,050 in Southall and £1,800 in Shoreditch.
The real cost comparison
The all-inclusive price can look higher than a room advert until you add up what a standard rental leaves out. A typical London houseshare room might be advertised at £900 a month, but once you add roughly £180 for bills and council tax, £45 for broadband, £50 for a gym and £60 for a couple of fitness classes a week, you are closer to £1,235 before you have eaten a single breakfast or met a neighbour. At AndSoul Southall, £1,050 covers all of it. The saving is real, and so is the time you get back from never managing another bill.
For context on how much London households now spend on rent and energy, the Office for National Statistics cost of living data is a useful independent reference.
What is not included (the honest bit)
All-inclusive does not mean everything is free forever. You will pay a refundable deposit and your first month up front, and stays run from 30 days with a rolling agreement after that. Your personal phone bill, any food beyond breakfast and the communal dinners, and big personal purchases are on you. There are no agency fees and no hidden admin charges, and we will always show you the full monthly figure before you commit.
Southall or Shoreditch, and who each suits
AndSoul has two London homes. Southall, in West London, starts from £1,050 a month and suits people who want space, calm and excellent value with fast links into Paddington and Heathrow. Shoreditch, in East London, starts from £1,800 a month and suits people who want to be in the middle of the action, two minutes from Brick Lane, with full membership to The Sanctuary wellness house included. Both give you the same all-inclusive promise: one price, everything in.
How all-inclusive living supports wellbeing
Taking bills, admin and gym logistics off your plate frees up money and headspace. Instead of juggling five direct debits and a separate gym app, you wake up to breakfast, a class if you want one, and neighbours who become friends over the weekly dinner. All-inclusive living is not only about convenience, it is about building a healthier, more connected week without having to organise it yourself.
All-inclusive living FAQs
Is all-inclusive co-living worth it?
For most people who would otherwise pay rent plus bills plus a gym, yes. Once you add up utilities, council tax, broadband, cleaning and fitness, the all-inclusive price is usually similar or lower, and it saves hours of admin every month.
What bills are included?
Gas, electricity, water, council tax and superfast broadband are all included in your monthly price at AndSoul, with nothing extra to set up or split with housemates.
Is there a minimum stay?
Stays start from 30 days and then continue on a rolling basis, so you can stay for a season or settle in for the long term.
Is council tax included?
Yes. Council tax is part of your single monthly price, so there is no separate bill to budget for.
Is breakfast included?
Yes. Daily breakfast is included, along with weekly communal dinners that bring the whole house together.
Can I bring guests?
Yes, residents can host guests in line with our house guidelines, so friends and family are always welcome.
