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

The tiny London apartment is based in the affluent Kensington area

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."

"Fully furnished, wooden floors fitted throughout, own kitchen.

"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.

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.”
