Bright double room in Borough - amazing view

Kitchen

Unique opportunity for Zone 1 living.

Sharing with a professional 39 yo male you will be right in the heart of the SE1 / Borough area.

*Please note - the current lodger is not the landlord - I just can't update the ad to change the settings*

*Please also note, I am putting the flat on the market, so this would suit someone looking for a short term let of 2-3 months, by when I am hoping the flat will be sold*

There are so many amenities and cultural happenings close by - too many to mention - and you'll only be 15/20min walk from the city, or 30min walk from the West End..

It's a good sized double room with a lovely, comfy double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers included.

You’ll be on the 4th floor of a relatively new development with a stunning view of the Shard and all the city landmarks from your bedroom. From the rooftop garden you can also see the London Eye and BT Tower.

Despite being so central it’s peaceful as there’s not a lot of traffic and the windows are double glazed. You do get the trains going by but you soon get used to that and I find it adds to the feeling of inner city living.

In the rest of the flat, there’s a good sized living room, separate kitchen, and a bathroom with a good quality shower and bath. There’s also a long balcony that stretches along the length of the flat which is great for having a coffee and breakfast outside in the summer mornings.

Other features;

Video entry system.
Washer/dryer.
Broadband/wifi.
Central heating - though hardly used, it's a very warm flat.

About the current flatmate:

He's open minded, relaxed and tidy, sociable and up for activities, even if that is only going for the odd drink.

Work's on own business a few hours a week, but spends a lot of time soaking up London culture.

He doesn't tend to have guests around during the week - though you're welcome to have people around, as long as its not every night! The odd meal together with a flatmate is always nice too.

About you.

Ideally 30+, male or female. Non smoker. Someone with a similar outlook/interests would be good if possible. Would prefer not to have a party animal who's out late every night.
Someone who is tidy, down to earth, sociable and normal would be great.

Other info:

Available from 29th October. The rent is £1000 pcm + share of bills.

Local area...

The transport links are excellent, if you need to use them. I rarely use the tube as it’s only half an hour walk into the West End and there’s also a Boris Bike station right outside the front of the flat. But if you do need to tube it, Borough is 6 mins walk, Southwark is 7 mins, Waterloo is 8 mins and London Bridge is 15 mins. Travelcard free living is possible though, and, a cab back from the West End is only about a tenner.

You’re spoilt for choice culturally with a 15 min walk to Southbank with the Imax, National Theatre and Tate Modern among the highlights. The Old Vic and the restaurants of the Cut are also less than 10 mins walk away.

Shopping-wise, there’s the nearby Lower Marsh with the amazing Greensmiths Deli. Borough Market is a handy 15 mins walk too. For real convenience there’s a well stocked Co Op two mins from the front door, as well as a parade of local shops including a greengrocers, butchers, cafes, fish and chip shop, hairdressers and a florist.

There’s some great pubs too, including the best pub in London, The Lord Clyde.

And if you’re that way inclined there’s a couple of gyms close by.
