Oh, man, know what would be even more awesome about this kitchen/bedroom/living room/bathroom/dining room if I lived there? I work from home, so not only would it be a kitchen/bedroom/living room/bathroom/dining room, it would be a kitchen/bedroom/living room/bathroom/dining room/office! Oh, and my kids would come along, I suppose (legally I’d have to bring them), so it would be a kitchen/bedroom/living room/bathroom/dining room/office/playroom. And if my husband comes along, too (which he would, because I like him and plus there’s no way I’m solo parenting in an “exclusive” building) , it would be a kitchen/bedroom/living room/bathroom/dining room office/playroom/ bike shop. But now I’m getting silly.

Copy & paste this:
It is an open plan because if they put in any walls they wouldn’t be able to fit in the toilet.
I am pretty sure jail cells are larger then that apartment.
As it is, you have to flip up the bed/couch/kitchen island/ironing board/dining room table/tanning bed/bench press/ping pong table to get through the doorway into the loo (good luck if you have to go in the middle of the night).
I love how it’s listed as “furnished”. At 60 pounds per week it’s a steal!
At least it has high ceilings, right?
It’s actually pretty spacious if you can defy gravity.
True! And things could always be worse:

All it needs is a chair for when guests come over
But look on the bright side… it comes with a dishwasher; however you will need to store your clothes under the sink….
Plus it comes furnished, so you’ll save on moving costs. Just $100 a week!
I traveled in an Amtrak sleeper compartment that was larger than this! Of course, it didn’t have a dishwasher . . .
That was exactly my thought: train car! I would love to know the actual square footage of this place- 50, maybe 60 square feet? Of which almost none is actually “floor” space. Hey, that’s an advantage- vacuuming would go SO quickly!
“Cute” is the same as “Cozy” when describing “space” like that one offers.
(Code words for “small” and “cramped”.)
I’ve never seen a smaller studio apartment. Then again, it’s physically impossible to get smaller.
Now I’m feeling claustrophobic …
If you removed the bed and placed it above the sink, you could save a bit more space.

Needs a coffee table.
it looks like a trailer! do they have those things in england? yikes. dont gain any weight!
We call them caravans in the UK. A caravan would be a bit larger. This would traditionally be called a bedsit.
Geez, and I felt like a martyr for moving into a studio so small I had to sell my second bookshelf and my wig collection to have room for a queen-size bed. Seriously, what is this place? Ten square feet? Maybe?
On the bright side, you could get on your hands and knees and scrub the whole floor in about three minutes. On the negative side, chances are you won’t be able to reach the floor, as all your stuff will be stacked in piles eight feet high to take advantage of those high ceilings.
Notice it’s been “let”…
Obviously leased by someone who has no problems with being celibate and remaining celibate.
Wow this is so perfect, because I was staying in a church about a 30 minute walk away from here this summer. I’ve thought about moving there, maybe I could if they would hold the flat until I’m able to find a job there in about 5 years or so…
Not much bigger (or more inviting) than a well-appointed prison cell….
Help me! I can’t breathe!
Sadly, I lived in a space like this for a brief period. Well, “lived” is a stretch. But I did dig my refrigerator/stove/sink. (Yes, all three in a single unit.)
Good grief suddenly I’m having nightmares of the bathroom/shower/vanity combo stall in my friend Ed’s camper trailer. (S**t, shower and shave all at the same time?)
It’s really scary that the photographer had to crack out the wide-angle lens to capture the real majesty of this flat. Maybe a fisheye lens would have worked better.
You know, sometimes when the “joys” of home ownership are getting out of control, I dream of living in a space like this. Fer serious.
I have to. I am single, and my kids are grown and gone. If I didn’t have so much stuff, this would be perfect.
I’m getting claustrophobic just looking at the picture. The thing is small than my dorm room! Granted I don’t have a kitchen and bathroom, but at least I’ve got a closet and space to walk.

It does go for only 60 pounds, or $99 per month. If you’re broke and desperate and don’t want to live on the street, this is the place for you. Hell, just going out and collecting recycling off the side of the road will keep this roof over your head. Call it the cardboard box deluxe.
It’s $99 per week. London’s expensive, but $400 per month for a kitchen with a shower and a banquette crammed in it is just ridiculous.
That’s the speed of living in London – flats and apartments are rented out by the week. If you have a full-time minimum wage job at 5 pounds/hour, this would fit exactly into your budget.
Thats just a cupboard, surely?
Is this the lean, mean update of the classic English bedsitter?
A few of my clients end up living in rooms like this. They’re called “prison cells”…
Maybe it’s because it’s in London, but it reminds me of the place Maggie moved into in the Extras Christmas special. Except much worse.
That’s one third the price of the cheapest London studio apartments I’ve seen, so not such a bad deal – it has it’s own bathroom, which is more than some of the £180 per week ones I’ve seen had
