What it really means

Short for "per week". Some adverts, especially in London and for student rooms, show rent per week. Careful: £200 PW is about £867 a month (multiply by 52, divide by 12), not £800.

Chinese explanation

"per week"（每周）的缩写。有些广告（尤其是伦敦和学生房）按周标租金。注意：£200 PW 约等于每月867英镑（乘52再除以12），而不是800英镑。

Example conversation

A: This room is £150 PW. B: So that’s about £650 a month, right?

A：这个房间每周150英镑。 B：那大概是每月650英镑，对吧？
