Loan for rental desposit?

Where in London you are planning to rent?? I live in London and there are cheaper places with good commuting links. So my suggestions
1. If you can save for 6 months that is by far the best option, you earn more in London but it is very expensive to live in, commute etc
2. There are places which are cheaper to live in, like Norwood in the south east , you can get 1 bed for £600 a month, so 6 week deposit plus one month it should work out about £1500, and you say your partner has work lined up so would that cover the rent and expenses until you start working?
3. Maybe getting bedsits, if you lucky you might find some for £400, check findaproperty and type different locations, even house shares for couples, so you can live your dream sooner.
London is too expensive, but you have to try it first to decide is it worth it or not.
Best of luck!0
