Question for rent vs. to let??

Hi guys,

I was in London for the first time a few weeks ago during my holiday. I noticed a lot of signs hanging in windows of apartments and office space with either the text "for rent" or "to let"..

And I started to wonder about it - what is the difference between "flat for rent" and "flat to let"..?

I am from Denmark, which might be why I do not find the answer to be obvious, which I of course apologise.
Teach me people, what is the difference?
And which term is the most correct one to use..?

Thanks in advance

In US I know to rent is for the owner to keep property rights & for the potential buyer to temporarily live in it. I haven't heard the phrase "to let". Maybe this is to buy in US? Where you buy the property rights usually taking out a loan & then pay monthly payments on that loan.

the funny thing is though, I saw these signs all over London which is not US?
