Tiny Flat In London Where Bed Almost Touches The Sink Listed For £390-A-Month

A tiny London apartment in one of England's poshest areas is so small that the bed isn't that far off touching the kitchen sink.
The small flat with a one-person bedsit is located in West Kensington, west London and is on the market for £390-a-month.
Reported by The Mirror, the listing via Zoopla boasts a 'fully furnished' design with trendy 'wooden floors'.
I guess you just have to trust them on that one.
The limited amount of room is showcased by the sink, microwave and cooking hob placed within touching distance of one another.
Somehow, they've managed to fit a wardrobe, chest of drawers, table and one chair in there as well - fair play.
The listing explains that tenants will have to stay for at least six months.
One user commented: "Randomly browsing apartments on Zoopla for no reason and I came across this. London housing is such a joke."
Another added: "You'd barely be able to walk in there."
The Space Let listing reads: "A single bedsit situated within a large Victorian house in-between West Kensington and Baron's Court stations with lots of amenities in the area.
"Fully furnished, wooden floors fitted throughout, own kitchen.
"Compact studio room furnished with a single bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, small table and chairs.
"Own kitchen with a counter-top cooker and oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, fitted stainless steel sink unit and a range of wall and base units.
"Shared bathroom with a shower, WC and wash-hand basin."
Well, if you're studying at uni and don't want to shed out crazy money on accommodation, there might be a way around it.
A student has revealed how she saves more than £4,300 a year by staying in a hotel rather than opting for university accommodation, making the most of not needing to attend daily in-person lectures.
Tigerlily Taylor (@tigerlilytaylorx), 20, recently posted a TikTok video to explain her set-up to other students, saying: “When you only go uni two days a week, so instead of paying for student accommodation, I stay in a Travelodge.”
She lives in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, but studies at the University of Northampton - a city that’s just under an hour away by train.
Rather than splashing out on official accommodation through her uni, Tigerlily pays for a hotel just one night a week.
Taylor told MoneySuperMarket: “On average, the university accommodation is £620, per month (that's for a large ensuite room).
"My hotel room usually costs around £35 for the night and I only need to stay once a week so every month I spend £140, on average, for a double room at the Travelodge.”
