Big bright room overlooking park nr Canada Water

King bed in big bright room

Friendly guy wanted for big furnished room in house facing big park, near City & Canary Wharf, with great transport & house mates.

I am looking for a gay-friendly non-smoker and generally someone aged 25-45 age. This house would most suit a busy professional.

I'm a Aussie professional gay guy (30s), sociable (not party animal but certainly go out & do enjoy a glass of wine at home). I'm an ex-lawyer and strategy consultant and now work for a start up. Other housemates (Aussie too) also work in professional services. I've bought the house eight years ago and live here with my partner.

House is spacious and renovated, directly facing beautiful 7ha Deptford Park; huge modern bathroom (with London's biggest shower! and separate bath), modern kitchen, living & dining rooms, guest room for visitors, central heating throughout, underfloor heating in the bathroom & kitchen. Living room has views of park & Canary Wharf. Big cellar, so lots of storage. Backyard for BBQs in summer, which we enjoy. Cleaner included who comes once per week. Unlimited BT Infinity WiFi.

5 mins to Canada Water tube (Overground / Jubilee), or less (7 minutes by foot) to Surrey Quays. 225 bus right behind the house to Canada Water and Jubilee line, gives great transport to:
-Canary Wharf (1 stop / 20 mins door-to-desk)
-City (2 stops to London Bridge, 3 to Bank)
-West End (12 mins Green Park, 15 to Bond St)

Many bus routes (188, 47, 199, 1, 225, 381, P12) to Russell Square, Bloomsbury, City, Shoreditch, Victoria, Pimlico, Elephant & Castle, North Greenwich, O2 arena, New Cross, Brockley, including 2 x 24 hour routes from end of street to City & West End. ~30 mins to Notting Hill, Highbury & Islington, Finsbury Park, Fulham, Vauxhall, Clapham, Battersea, Putney, Shepherds Bush, Hammersmith etc. Also walking distance (20 mins) to Goldsmiths College / New Cross / Greenwich, and just 3 stops to groovy Peckham Rye and on to Clapham Junction.

Area here is very central being so close to Jubilee line and London Bridge and Canary Wharf - but also relaxed due to facing Deptford Park across a very quiet street, and being in a lovely Victorian residential pocket, just between Surrey Quays and Deptford town.

Nearby are really funky cafes, great coffee, and big Surrey Quays shopping centre with enormous 24-hour Tesco Extra, banks (HSBC, Barclays, Santander), Boots, cinema, 2 x fitness centres, swimming pools, sailing etc. Lidl & Aldi nearby. Deptford town itself is very historic with Tudor-era Royal Docks & diarists John Evelyn and Samuel Pepys, ancient churches & Watling Street pilgrimage route, Christopher Marlowe and Peter the Great of Russia. Deptford High Street has galleries, more great coffee and a vibrant market. We think it's as interesting as Greenwich, Brixton, or Shoreditch, and it's unique for having almost no chains on it. Greenwich is nearby with UNESCO world heritage listed old naval college, observatory & royal park and good pubs. There are great restaurants nearby including great cafe, and a cool pub doing hipster pizzas and two of TripAdvisor's best rated London restaurants are very easily accessible (and quite cheap too). Stunning Southwark Park is very near and you can walk to the terrific riverside pubs on the Thames at Rotherhithe & Bermondsey (The Angel, The Mayflower) as well as great restaurants with views of Tower Bridge along the south bank near Butler's Wharf. You can walk to Tower Bridge via the river in under 30 minutes

The room is very big (~5x3m) and bright as it faces both west over the garden and rooftops of London, catching afternoon sun, and east over the park. It has a king sized bed, shelves & hanging.

Price includes all bills (heating, council tax, cleaning, wifi etc.). Rent in advance, one month deposit.

I look forward to hearing from you!
