Beautiful double room available in Elephant&Castle

Living area

Hello 👋 Welcome to join me in this beautiful and sunny two-bedroom flat! I'm a 37-year old professional working for a local council in London. I WFH 3 days a week from my bedroom but I'm quite often out for evening events/at the weekend. I enjoy reading, writing and host the occasional dinner party for friends. I used to live abroad for over a decade so love meeting international-minded people to swap stories with over a glass of wine, but otherwise also enjoy down time at home after a busy day. I cook most nights I'm at home and I'm veggie but cheese is my life. I'm looking to live with someone to get along with comfortably who would be open to hanging out sometimes but where we can also respect each other's space and keep the apartment nice together. Females only please.

The room is available from 18th July 2026, but could be negotiated to start earlier if needed.
