Double room in Whitechapel. NOT A CULT.

Kliving Room

Our housemate Annabelle did a bad thing and needs to get away, so we've got a delightful large double room available from the 2nd of March. You need to be able to move on or around (but not before) this date, sorry! In my experience of SpareRoom, people ignore this part but FOR REAL. If you need a room this week, it's not for you. If you're moving to London in April, it's not for you. LIKE REALLY. SORRY.

The room is pretty big by London standards. I have one the same size, and I find there is ample space for pacing during phone conversations. It comes with a bed (for sleeping in), a desk (for putting things on), some cupboards (for putting things in), and a sofa (for sitting on).

If like many people you've been shocked and saddened by the recent floods in Somerset, then this house is for you! Being in Whitechapel, East London, it's been largely unaffected. The area is rapidly gentrifying, but currently there is only one combined creperie/art gallery, so it provides the perfect opportunity for an aspiring gentrifier to get in near the ground floor and claim you were here when it was mainly locals.

There are loads of nice pubs around; the George Tavern has a *Wikipedia article* and is around the corner, and there's a brew pub ~10 mins walk away. There's also a big Sainsbury's, and a combined creperie/art gallery.

We're 8 minutes (I've timed it) walk from both Whitechapel and Shadwell stations which between them provide more modes of transport than you could ever require. There are nightbuses from everywhere you'd reasonably want to go at night.

The house itself is comfortably nestled between a picturesque Georgian terrace square, and some stunning loft conversions. The house is neither of these, it's a 70s ex-council-semi, but we all need something to aim for. We don't have a proper living room, but with some inspiration from our neighbours and some purloined furniture we've done a pretty good job of turning our kitchen into one. It's got a TV with an Xbox (mainly used for Netflix) and a Playstation 1 (which has been unplugged for ages and every time I get the urge to play Parappa The Rapper I can't be bothered to plug it in). It's got a garden! We have barbecues and house parties and stuff; ish is cash.

The letting agency are fantastic - only recently we all got new bedroom doors! Granted the old ones were technically illegal, and they chose 9am on Saturday to fit them, but who doesn't like a new door! All bills are included in the rent.

There are 6 of us. There will be a brief period (BRIEF! Again, April is no good) between Annabelle moving out and you moving in when there will be 5 of us, but then we'll be back to 6.

I'm Richard, I'm 24 and my interests are mainly self-loathing, music, staying up late, clubs, and irrational anger. I work as a web developer.

Francesca doesn't like me to mention her age, but if your powers of deduction are any good you could work it out. She enjoys reneging on plans, Kanye West, and Limmy. I also love Kanye West and Limmy, but I am very reliable and almost always on time. She spends her days writing words to sell you things you don't need, working as a copywriter.

Rachel is 21 and is training to be a midwife, so she smells faintly of babies. I believe she is overseeing the horrifying miracle of life as I write this. She also works in a restaurant and likes the same comedy as your mum.

Millie is 23 I think? Probably. She moved in just after Christmas, and lives directly under me. She enjoys the sound of me pacing during phone conversations, gin, and getting inappropriately drunk by 9pm and having to go home.

Colm only just moved in, so the details are scant on this one. He's Irish, wears glasses, and is a recruiter. I filmed his NekNomination video for him and only realised afterwards that he wasn't being ironic. Amiable gentleman though.

NUMBER SIX IS YOU! You should be a fun person, but you shouldn't be a person who describes themselves as a fun person because those people are never fun. You should enjoy doing things on weekends. You should be pretentious about at least one thing, even if it's Danny Brown mixtapes or the taxonomy of metal genres

Get in touch/ask any questions/come and see it. SpareRoom messages only please; don't be that guy who tracked me down and added me on Facebook last time.
