No but it is recommended to have a room on arrival to start with so that you can view other accommodation without any pressure.

You can start with us on the Jumpstart London program anytime between February to November.

Here is a breakdown of the year:

January - blocked out; we do not have any partners offering job guarantees to arrivals for January. However, if you do want to arrive in January, you can move into the accommodation and enjoy your time in London; work commences in early February.

February & March - February and March are a great time to arrive if you want to settle into London life before the weather starts heating up, work starts getting busy and Summer mode goes into full swing. Work is not quiet but it has not hit peak season yet. If you want to do festival work, please know it doesn’t begin until June.

April & May - The days are longer and work through our guaranteed jobs is buzzing (think celebrity events, the biggest sporting games & concerts). HOT TIP - April & May are a great time to go travelling if you want to avoid the peak summer crowds and prices.

June, July, August - These are TWHCs favourite months to be in London and travelling Europe. Jampacked with exciting work opportunities such as concerts (Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Nickelback, Doja Cat) and festivals (Kaleidoscope, All Points East, British Summer Time and more!). This is in addition to weekly shifts at some of London’s most iconic sites: Harrods, Selfridges, Natural History Museum, V&A and the National Gallery.

September, October & November - if you’re planning on spending the Summer travelling before moving to London, these months are perfect to settle into London life after your Euro Summer. There is plenty of work available. HOT TIP - These shoulder seasons are another great time to go travelling if you want to avoid the peak summer crowds and prices.

December - All work available on the Jumpstart London, indoor and outdoor events, and labour work will slow down towards the second last week of December. Very few of our partners would be looking to hire new starters in December; most will pre-hire a few months in advance for staff that is needed over the Christmas break, You are better off arriving at the end of January/Early February.

We recommend something other than December or January for arrival months if you need to start work immediately.

Accommodation availability, on the other hand, heaps of rooms become available over the Christmas break as a lot of people travel or head home for Xmas.

The festival work is included in our Hospitality Events work (one of your guaranteed job options). This work is app-based where you pick and choose your shifts based on your own availability.
