Many friends might ask how could you find a room at the same day you arrived at London? I couldn't. The truth is one week earlier before I came to London, I post a 'free' (this is the most important point) ad on Gumtree site (Gumtree is a community site to help connect private individuals. People said it is No. 1 in classifieds - jobs, property, cars and more).
Gumtree is quick and easy to use, post your ad today and you will receive replies later/tomorrow. I contacted 4-5 possible landlords, and then stayed in touch with them, replied and confirmed their emails every day before I came to London.
Allow me to share two UK website with you, if you are looking for a room/flat/house in London.

In addition, some areas are better for living.
1. East North of London:
Leyton, WansteadEast, Bethnal GreenNorth, and Black line (Archway, kentish town,
hampstead, golder's green, finchley cenral, swiss cottage, chalk farm, willesden green)
2. West of London:
Chiswick, ealing, shepherd bush, wimbledon, richmond, putneysouth- clapham (south, north,
central), colliers wood
3. Central of London:
Earls court, south kensington, chelsea, Mayfair, Liverpool street, Holborn, Russell Square,
Regent's Park, Holland park, Hyde Park, Bayswater
What I recommend is East and/or North of London. These areas are not that expensive, and the traffic and transportation is ok too.
