Is it correct to say 'I lived in London for a period'?

I think it is ok to say for some time or for a period of time. 'For a peroid' sounds weird to me.

Thank you.

" A period is, amongst other things, a unit of time. In New Zealand a school day is divided into several periods . " I hope that helps.
