That reminds me of a bedsit I went to view about 25 years ago in London. Equally shitty and equally expensive! Plus ca change & all that.

I'm not surprised in London. I've seen worse! At least the kitchen isn't a microwave on a table.

Is it legal? If it is, it shouldn’t be

Wow! My living room is twice the size of that and I pay half the cost for my flat. I'm guessing you are paying for a premium?

It's not even in the nice bit of Stokey. I do want to live alone but not that badly

I would
Gladly live in a space like that if the other option was having a roommate.

That is about the size of my kitchen. I'm missing a trick here. Shove in bed in there and I can get some poor sucker to pay me rent.

I cant imagine anyone wanting sexy times next to the quiet humming of the fridge and the dripping of a leaky tap.

Wow. Tiny and awful. No seating area?!

that's a bed-shit

This place is my all time favourite shithole

Presumably when you put your clothes horse up you have to leave the house until they're dry

Greedy, tight L/L that's bloody awful. Squeeze em in and bleed em dry!

If my alternative would be a house share, i would take it happily!

That's worse than a traditional tenement single end where you at least got a box bed and slightly more room.

I Lived somewhere similar for six months, as a transition from rooms in flatshares to renting a proper flat on my own. It was shit, but I knew it was only for six months. I had boxes of stuff piled up everywhere, no storage space. It was very very damp and freezing cold. I wouldn’t let anyone visit me there!

The plus points were it was cheap and very close to work! But I was delighted to leave it to move to a proper flat “I have walls! And rooms! I can walk from room to room!”

I wish they'd given the room dimensions. I thought the bed must be one where you store everything in the base, but it doesn't look like it, does it?

£89 per month council tax to live there!

That's bigger than many of the ones I've seen in NE London. One was literally the bed touching the cupboard under the sink. Landlords who accept DSS in London are of the opinion you should be grateful for a cupboard. Luckily I got a decent sized studio in the end as it stipulated over 30 & single female so not many takers. (which prob isn't legal either).

I sometimes dream of having a city studio/bedsit, but in my mind it's always like one of the IKEA 25m sq ones : www.ikea.com/gb/en/ideas/inspiring-ideas-for-a-tiny-studio-1364387173277/

Not a bed-shit like this!

Wow I would hate to have to live there.

Oh I love that Ikea studio! If only...

By the looks of the drawer tower you keep everything next to the shower.

There doesn’t appear to be a sink in the bathroom

Do you have to kneel on the toilet to brush your teeth in the basin on top of it?!

£650 a month to live in a bedroom!

I don't get why anyone would want to live in London that badly! That's triple what we pay on our mortgage for a house!
