Bright, spacious double room next to the British Museum overlooking a quiet courtyard — exceptionally peaceful for central London.
The bedroom, kitchen and bathroom are all away from the street.
Council Tax and broadband are included.
Gas and electricity are shared according to usage.
The room includes:
* Desk
* Fridge and kettle
* Blackout curtains
Top-floor flat in a quiet building. No noise from above — it’s not a party flat. If you like peace and quiet, this is the place.
Just a 5-minute walk from Holborn and Tottenham Court Road stations, with two parks within 3–5 minutes.
Ideally located for UCL, LSE, KCL, SOAS, Birkbeck, Great Ormond Street Hospital and UCLH.
The flat is two doors from where the philosopher Bertrand Russell once lived.
I’m a friendly author — quiet and clean — looking for someone who values a peaceful home, interesting conversation from time to time, and understands shared living by keeping spaces clean and contributing to household essentials.
I’d prefer to share my home with someone who enjoys learning, reading, travel, culture and good conversation. I love technology — I used to work at Bloomberg — and I’m currently learning Runway to make short-form videos to promote my new novel.
I’ve been to 55 countries, so books, ideas, places, different cultures and an interest in the wider world are much more my thing.
I’m vegetarian 🌱, but you don’t need to be. That said, it would be lovely to live with someone who is similarly thoughtful about the environment.
Short stays of 2–3 months are welcome.
I’m also flexible about the move-in date where possible. A longer-term stay may be negotiable at a slightly preferential rate for the right person.
I’d appreciate a short introduction about yourself — your hobbies and interests, intended length of stay and preferred move-in date.
If the advert is live, the room is still available.
Thanks,
Tony
