Double room:

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. I have mostly elderly neighbours, so I’m very conscious of keeping noise down. If you like peace and quiet, this is a great place to live. The bedroom, kitchen and bathroom are all away from street noise.

Council Tax and broadband are included.
Gas, electricity and water bills are shared.

The room includes:

* Desk
* Fridge and kettle
* Blackout curtains

Just 5 minutes’ walk from Holborn and Tottenham Court Road stations, and close to UCL, LSE, KCL, SOAS, Birkbeck, Great Ormond Street Hospital and UCLH.

I’m a friendly author and former English teacher — well travelled (57 countries), very quiet and clean — looking for a responsible person who values considerate shared living.

My interests include writing, (I’m a published author) philosophy, psychology and travel. I’m also interested in off-grid living because of how technology and AI are rapidly changing everyday life. I have a smartphone, but mostly for practical things such as Uber. I mainly use a Nokia — I went back to one in 2019 and have never regretted it. I much prefer reading books and listening to podcasts.

I also like cricket, football, museums and galleries. My degrees are in history and humanities. I’m vegetarian 🌱, but you don’t need to be.

Short-term or long-term stays are both possible, and I’m flexible about the move-in date.

As it’s my home, please say a little about yourself, how long you’re hoping to stay and your preferred move-in date.

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

Thanks,
Tony
