If you’re moving into a rental property in the UK, you may need to buy a television for your new home. Even furnished properties often do not come with a TV. If you will be staying in a hotel or serviced apartment, you won’t need to get your own TV. Here are our recommendations for websites to find your new TV in the UK:

  • Currys – one of the go-to high street and online retailers for electronics in the UK.
  • AO (Appliances Online) – a leading online retailer of appliances and electronics.
  • Argos – a good range of televisions with fast delivery or click-and-collect.
  • Amazon – large range of televisions, available with next day delivery.

Don’t forget that to watch live TV or use BBC iPlayer you will need to pay for a TV Licence. You can use other streaming services without a TV Licence.
