Long-term double room wanted near Haggerston
Hi — I'm Matthew, 28, relocating from the north-west to start a new role in Haggerston (E2).
I'm after somewhere within about a mile of the office so I can walk or cycle in, which is why I'm focused on the following postcodes:
• E2
• E8
• N1
• E1
• EC1
• EC2
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▸ BACKGROUND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Several years in digital marketing, with a background in Google Ads — stepping up into the operations side with this move
• Originally from the north-west, moving down for the new role
• Non-smoker, no pets of my own (though I'm happy living with them)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▸ ROUTINES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Monday to Friday, 9–6 in the office
• Train MMA a couple of times a week in the evenings
• Most evenings I'll catch up with friends or dig into a side project
• Happy with a pub dinner or drinks with flatmates
• Not a partier - tend to have early-ish nights
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▸ INTERESTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Sports - Football (Chelsea fan 😥) & UFC
• Wellbeing - Practice Qi Gong
• Nerdy side projects - enjoy going down rabbit holes on new tools & building automations, etc
• Introverted by nature — I don't play loud music, and respect others' space.
• Into languages — planning to join the local language exchange once I'm settled
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▸ WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IN A HOUSE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Friendly but independent — the kind of place where you chat in the kitchen, share the occasional meal, but everyone also has their own life
• Clean shared spaces (dishes done daily, hoover regularly) — I'd want flatmates who are similar
• A lively house is absolutely fine by me, as long as sleep is respected
• A quiet room with space for a desk, as I'll occasionally work from home
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▸ DEAL-BREAKERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Any mould or serious damp issues — instant no, please don't reach out if that's a current or recurring issue
• Decent broadband is a must
• No to "Monday to Friday only" arrangements — this is my full-time home
• Not looking to buddy up with strangers to find a place together
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▸ PRACTICAL STUFF
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Budget: up to £1,100/month all-in (bills included)
• Move-in: by 7th May 2026, looking for a long-term place
• References, proof of income and ID all available — SpareRoom profile already verified

If this sounds like a fit, drop me a message.
I'd love to arrange a viewing!
