Hi there 😊 please read before messaging
Quick note to start: I’m using my brother’s SpareRoom account, but I’m Joshua, and I’m the one hosting this room and living in the flat.
So welcome! 😊
We’ve got a cozy single room in Zone 1–2 opening up in our home and we’re looking for someone lovely to come and join us.
Quick note first: I’m using my brother’s SpareRoom account, but I’m Joshua, and I’m the one hosting the room and living here.
Unfortunately, our flatmate Shuyi will be leaving, so we’re hoping to find a great new addition to the house.
The room is simple, comfy, and practical – a good bed, built in wardrobe and storage, a desk for work or Netflix binging, plus your own private balcony which is perfect for a morning coffee or some fresh air. The room will also be deep cleaned before you move in, so it’ll be nice and fresh.
We share a spacious kitchen and living area, where we cook, chat, and generally enjoy having a relaxed home vibe. We’re lucky to have two toilets (one upstairs with the bathroom and one downstairs), so no awkward morning queues.
Location wise, it’s a dream. We’re about 3 minutes from Victoria Park and the canal, great for walks, runs, or just getting some air. Roman Road Market, cafés, Tesco Express, and a 24 hour PureGym are all close by too.
Transport is super easy – Mile End Station is around a 10–15 minute walk, Bow Road and Bow Church DLR are nearby, and the iconic Bus 8 runs 24 hours straight into Central London (Shoreditch, Liverpool Street, Holborn, Oxford Circus). Canary Wharf is about 20 minutes by bus.
You’d be living with three friendly housemates:
- Laura, who works in hospitality
- Tee, also in hospitality and very bubbly
- Me, Joshua, working in marketing
We’re a close, easygoing bunch. We like, having chats, and going for walks in Victoria Park. Cleanliness is important to us, but nothing intense – we just do a simple monthly clean and everyone pulls their weight. It’s definitely not a party house, more of a calm, cosy, friendly home.
When messaging, we’d really appreciate a short intro (2–3 lines is perfect): who you are, what you do, and why you’d like to live here.
Please also make sure your profile has 3–5 photos, so we can put a face to the name.
