    I'm moving out and so have to fill my room by the end of this week..

    It's large, bigger than most rooms in shared houses in london... its 535 + bills (around 100 a month inc. council tax, virgin tv etc. water/gas/elec ). There is a 705 deposit, and the rent is due at the 28th of each month

    Double bed and other bits of furniture and a huge walk in wardrobe. I did consider making it into a closed off office space with a computer and shelving etc. it is that big... (space in this room is not a problem at all)

    it;s on the first floor, there's a single room on the ground floor with a really nice kitchen/living space? that leads to the garden (bbqs in summer etc) and then the lounge is on the first foor as is the main bathroom (new bath as of a week ago)

    top floor there are two more bedrooms

    the house is at the end of a cul de sac within a gated community, fobs etc. which itself is tucked away in tufnell park...

    It's very very quiet for london, yet very easy to get to islington/central/east/west (can probably do oxford circus in twenty minutes) and there are two 24 hour bus routes that go from notting hill/kings cross and tottenham court road/camden that both go to the end of the road...

    there are a number of excellent pubs etc. within a few minutes including big reds and aces and eights, both great little rock.alt pubs!

    It's a bicycle friendly house, one current cyclist (as i'm leaving) and plenty of inside space for bikes + lots of tools etc.

    That's pretty much it! If you have any questions AT ALL, let me know, i'm around all week if you want to view it!

    One last thing, the carpets are due to be cleaned on the 31st

    PM me for photos or email me at thomaspatrickbennett@gmail.com

    thanks,

    Tom

    your 'more pics' link doesnt seem to work

    Q - how much clearance is there on the back wheel, looks super tight and like it's pretty far back on the drops

    Swore at a man in a van today when he pulled up along me to apologise for almost cutting me up. Didn't realise how nice he was being until after I had given him the finger. I feel like an ass now.
