Gumtree was started in London in March 2000, initially as a community site designed to connect people who were either planning to move, or had just arrived in the city and needed help getting started with accommodation, employment and social opportunities.

 

Gumtree is now the largest online community in London with sites all over the UK and is also used by thousands more before they arrive in the UK.

 

It is now London’s largest flat share and jobsite with visitor numbers doubling every 6 months.
