King Size Room in Bow Available Jan 2027

Hi, I’m moving out of my gorgeous flat in Bow to go travelling, so I’m looking for someone to take over my room!

Rent: £1,250 a month
Bills: Around £140 a month for everything, with a cleaner available at an additional cost if wanted
Available from: 8th January 2027

I will be away for at least a year, with no return date currently planned, so likely longer!

The flat is a cosy, clean and comfortable two-bedroom flat on the top floor (5th floor) with a lift. It was completely redecorated a couple of years ago and has been a very lovely home. I’m hoping to find someone who’ll enjoy living here as much as I have.

Your room

The bedroom is a good size, with a king-size bed with storage underneath, a massive wardrobe, a desk and plenty of shelving for all your bits and pieces. If, like me, you somehow accumulate more things than you realise, you’ll appreciate the storage!

The flat

The kitchen has everything you need: a large fridge-freezer, built-in dishwasher, brand-new washing machine, a large oven, microwave, kettle, toaster and pod coffee machine. There’s plenty of space for cooking.

It opens onto the living room, with a large wall-mounted TV, a really comfy sofa that pulls out into a double bed (handy for guests!), a big bookcase and a reclaimed-wood dining table that extends to seat 10. Very good for hosting dinner parties.
Large patio doors open onto the balcony, with views of the O2, Canary Wharf and even the Shard! It feels surprisingly peaceful and private up here - sometimes you forget you’re in London.

There’s even more storage in the hallway, including built-in shoe storage and extra drawers. The shared bathroom has both a bath (an essential, in my opinion) and a shower, plus plenty of space for everyone’s toiletries.

The area

I’ve lived all over London in the last 10 years, and Bow is my favourite area by far. We’re five minutes’ walk from Roman Road and less than 10 minutes from Victoria Park, with Hackney Wick also within walking distance. There are loads of independent places to eat and drink, and no shortage of things going on. A massive bonus - there’s literally an off-licence at the bottom of the building, so you never have to go far for the essentials!

Transport connections are great: Bow Road is around a 10-minute walk away for the District and Hammersmith & City lines, and Mile End is around 15 minutes away for the Central line. Bow Church is also nearby for the DLR.

Who you’ll be living with

You’ll be sharing with the wonderful Alex. We’ve lived together for nearly a year and have become fast friends.

Here’s a bit about her:

“Hi, I’m Alex! I’m a communications professional who loves the girly pop renaissance, going to the gym, museums, writing, reading (lately, mostly ACOTAR, oops), live music, travel, matcha/coffee (I’m just a girl), history nerdiness, making jewellery and yoga.

I’m an American/Maltese dual citizen originally from NY, and I’ve been clinging onto the UK since 2012. I don’t party much these days, but I enjoy the occasional night out and more than the occasional night in with tea and juicy TV shows with my housemates.

I’d love to live with like-minded women, nonbinary buddies, or queer/queer-friendly dudes. I’m quiet (I literally used to be a librarian!) and respectful of privacy, but always up for a movie night, a shared meal or a pub quiz. I’m tidy and clean, and I’ve lived in house shares for most of my adult life, so I understand the balance that makes a happy household.”

If this sounds like your kind of home, send me a message with a bit about yourself, what you’re looking for and when you’d like to move in. We’d love to hear from you! (I have lots more photos if you would like to see what details of the flat)
