Looking for rooms/buddy up in N or W London
Hello! I’m Louis, a 23-year old queer Museum professional working in the City of London. I’m currently looking for available rooms / buddy-ups around Islington, Essex Road, Angel, Hoxton, or Bethnal Green.** I can be flexible on move out dates, but would prefer to arrange meets and viewings ASAP. I’m also looking to join or buddy-up with an LGBT household. Other admin-y bits at the end of ad.
🧜♂️ About me
I’ve been in London for a year and a bit living in various places, including North and West. I’m relocating to be closer to work, friends, and to be somewhere with a bit more flare.
My typical week looks like: filling my calendar with the weird and wonderful things London has to offer - pub quizzes, thrifting, Museums, cute cafes and just wandering about. I’m a very sociable guy and like to keep busy in my free time.
🏡 Specific perks of having me as a flatmate:
- Free entry to most Museums and exhibitions in the city!!
- Tasty vegetarian cooking
- Someone to induct you into the world of queer line dancing 👢
🙏 What I’m looking for in a flat/flatmate
I’m hoping to find flatmates who'd be interested in creating a welcoming space and being more than just people who live in the same property! Having a good network around me is very important especially as a queer person, which is why I’m keen to find a setup that has a good people fit.
Because of the nature of my job, I usually work in-person 5 days a week, 9-5, with the occasional WFH day. I would prefer to join flatmates who are also in full time 9-5 work.
1-2 other flatmates is the rough aim.
Budget is £800 up to £1,000 inc. bills, but I would pay more for the right place, especially if it’s in walking distance of work.
At this time I am looking for a permanent setup, no sublets please.
I’m very considerate of shared spaces. I really value cleanliness - I tend to think there's no point paying for a space if you're not gonna take care of it!
I’m also a vegetarian, so fellow veggies are preferred, but this isn’t a dealbreaker.
Ok onto the admin-y bits. The notice on my current place is one month, and I’m looking to arrange meets/viewings ASAP. I can be flexible with move-in dates, but ideally I’d be going sooner rather than later. I can of course provide proof of income, references from previous/current properties.
If you think we’d be a good fit, either drop me a message. And of course, if you need any more info from me at this stage just give me a shout :)
**I could be persuaded on other areas in N and W for the right flat. Decent transport connections to Bank are essential, as is an area that feels safe.
