Area

This includes the development of Westfield Shopping Centre, an one stop shop for almost everything, including deep tissue massages, to designer brands for diverse pockets, We have cinemas, a bowling alley, a great range of restaurants, cocktail/ champagne bars, Waitrose, M&S and other food stores. Several leading universities and others have taken up residence. Also, attracting people from more diverse, cultural, social and economic backgrounds to buy properties and rent in the area which is significantly growing. This is also due to Stratford being only 5 miles from the West end, with excellent transport links in and out of London (see below).

There is always the opportunity to have a chat, drink, movie nights, with tasty treats, shared cook meals, and random treats that I provide, restaurant trips out to celebrate birthdays, or just socialise together, board games, and so much more. Some lodgers want to do their own thing which is equally welcome. I adapt according to the express needs of those sharing my home.
I have my own independent life, with family and friends. I provide the above for your benefit, due to recognising It is not easy living in someone else's house, by their house rules etc, and some lodgers need social connection when sharing a home, and I am unable to provide a separate living room at thist time.

Who will you live with:.
A lovely fun, professional in her mid 20s, having graduated from a prestigious university in Wales. She is humble, bubbly, warm, fun, highly intelligent with clean habits, thoughtful and considerate.
I am a middle age Black British Afro Caribbean woman. I am a trustworthy, honest, calm, and responsible, fairly well educated landlady, respectful of boundaries, personal space, and lodger's privacy. I am committed to maintaining a hygienic and clean home without being oppressive. : ) I have a few creative projects going on. I will soon to return to work and commence my four year studies, to become an art psychotherapist at the Institute of Art and therapy in Education in Sept 2026. So, will not always be around, but available to attend to your needs as a lodger, which is one of my key priorities as a landlady.
My reference:
My current lodger and I have thank you cards from previous lodgers, having been a previous verified member since 2016 before ending my membership due to a change of personal circumstances. Please feel free to verify with SpareRoom.
What I am looking for in a Lodger:
Someone who is trustworthy, honest, clean habits and consideration of others needs, cultural and personal differences. I am a heterosexual woman, and my home is open to anyone who I consider to contribute to the harmony, trust, safety, and cleanliness of my home.
I have often had lodgers who have gone to concerts, gigs, cinema, meal, bowling, pub, rock climbing, out for a meal together and sometimes with myself, too. Genuine friendships have be sustained over years, noting I have been an on and off Landlady since 2016, and was previously verified by SpareRoom.
I think my home is best suited to someone who is independent, looking for a calm, quite, safe, clean and respectful home, with social interaction and fun stuff, as and when it may naturally unfolds.
Health & Safety, Gas and Electric compliance at viewing.
Also, can contact house insurance for any plumbing, heating, etc. breakdowns in my absence.

Terms and conditions

Kindly note, I will only feel comfortable providing my home address after we have spoken first, which also allows for us to get to know if we are likely to be a good fit before doing a viewing.
Documents: If you have not got a verified account I would need to see ID before you come into my home. I will do the same. Also useful for you to bring evidence of your right to live, work and study at the viewing, as I would not be able to offer you a contract without it, assuming we turn out to be a good fit.
