Representatives of London boroughs told a meeting of MPs last week that councils have already block-booked bed and breakfasts outside the capital.
Other private accommodation - from Hastings, on the south coast, to Reading to the west and Luton to the north - is also being sought for those priced out of London.
According to the Observer newspaper councils in the capital are warning that 82,000 families face losing their homes.
