Accommodation
House-sitting
Free rent in exchange for watering plants.
House-sitting is the closest thing to free accommodation that exists at scale. You water plants and look after a dog or cat; the owner gets free care; you get rent-free time in someone else's home. UK sits are particularly easy to find in summer.
Below are the platforms British house-sitters use most. TrustedHousesitters is the leader; cheaper alternatives like MindMyHouse work too if you're prepared to vet listings.
