London 90-night calculator

In Greater London, a whole home can be let for stays of under 90 nights for no more than 90 nights a calendar year without planning permission. Add up your nights across every platform to see how many you have left in 2026.

Across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and direct bookings, from 1 January.
Confirmed future bookings in this calendar year.

How the rule works

  • The limit is 90 nights per property in each calendar year (1 January to 31 December), across every platform.
  • It applies to whole homes let for stays of under 90 consecutive nights, and the person providing the accommodation must pay council tax on the property.
  • Going over needs planning permission from your borough. Boroughs can also remove the allowance for particular properties or areas.
  • Airbnb's own 90-night cap only counts Airbnb bookings.
