Originating in March 2000, the London classified ads website has connected people who are looking for various services. Whether just arriving in the city and looking for events to seek out, moving or looking for a job, Gumtree is Europe’s closest version of Craigslist. Because of word of mouth, the site continues to expand. With a growing community, nearly 60 cities of 6 different countries (New Zealand, South Africa, Poland, Ireland, UK & Australia) use the local community classified ad website.

Nearly 25,000 rooms are advertised on gumtree each month, with nearly 10,000 rents. One million visitors each month view the site’s content. Ultimately, gumtree.com hopes to provide an easy, simple tool that allows people to find what they are looking for fast.
