Bright, spacious double room overlooking a quiet courtyard next to the British Museum. It’s a top-floor flat, so there’s no noise from above.
It’s not a party flat either; if you like peace and quiet, this is the place.
The double bedroom, the kitchen and the bathroom are away from street noise.

Council Tax and broadband are included.
Gas and electricity are shared according to usage.

The room includes:

* Desk
* Fridge and kettle
* Blackout curtains

Just 5 minutes from Holborn and Tottenham Court Road stations, and ideally located for UCL, LSE, KCL, SOAS, Birkbeck, Great Ormond Street Hospital and UCLH.

The flat is two doors down from where the philosopher Bertrand Russell once lived.

I’m a friendly author — well-travelled (55 countries), very quiet and clean — looking for someone who values a peaceful home, interesting conversation and considerate shared living.

I have a love-hate relationship with technology. I used to work at Bloomberg and I’m currently learning Runway to make short-form videos to promote my new book. But I’ve also used a Nokia basic phone since 2019, and I prefer technology to be a tool rather than something that occupies my every waking moment.

As AI is set to reshape our lives in ways we can’t yet imagine, I’m increasingly interested in self-sufficiency and the possibility of living more off-grid — growing food, survival skills and foraging.

I’m vegetarian 🌱, but you don’t have to be.

Short stays of 2–3 months are welcome.

I’m also flexible about the move-in date.

A longer-term stay may be negotiable at a slightly preferential rate for the right person.

I’d really appreciate a short introduction about yourself — your hobbies and interests, intended length of stay and move-in date.

If the advert is live, the room is still available.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks,
Tony
