What we’re looking for:
This is a household with a preference for no pork in the fridge. We take routined, initiative-led cleaning seriously in this flat, this ensures the space is enjoyable and comfortable. We would love to have someone who will treat the space as a home and contribute to its cleaning and upkeep. If you love to make a place your space with art, plants, books, trinkets etc this would be suited for you! We do burn incense so if you have asthma or respiratory problems please let us know.

About us:
We enjoy a relaxing, lighthearted and playful atmosphere in this flat. The living room is really the heart of the home! We enjoy playing music and watching films on our soundsystem speakers, occasionally have friends over and host dinner parties and gatherings. We like to throw a party 2/3 times a year, usually to celebrate birthdays or NYE. We all have family homes outside of London, so we’re sometimes away for a couple days at a time.

We all have our varying schedules, some of us work from home and in the office. If you are seeking a super quiet house where people keep to themselves then this might not be for you! We spend time together in the living room and out the house as we are friends first and flatmates second, but we really want our new flatmate to feel no obligation to hanging out should they want to have some alone time, or if they’re naturally more reserved!

You'd be living with three professionals in their mid to late twenties with differing schedules (some freelancers). Ideally looking for another working professional (UC accepted) or PG student in their mid to late twenties/30s.

Please send us a little bit about yourself and when you are looking to move and if you need a guarantor, as the referencing process can be long. s with
