    I had a small flat when I first moved to London many years ago. Now have a house, but still have a fond attachment to my first flat. It's just lovely to have a place that you can call your own.

    to answer your question yes the room is a converted bedroom landlords do it to get as much money as they can out of a property, you have done really well to maximise the space and make it a home well done.

    Thank you for showing us around your wonderful studio apartment. Are used to live in a studio apartment in Nottinghamshires. It was an old police station that had been turned into flats and it had 2 one bedroom flats and 2 studio flats. I lived in one of the studio flats or as they call it bedsits and because it was a grade 2 listed building the landlord wouldn’t do anything about the damp it was horrendous and winter time as a heating wasn’t very good. My landlord said that I was getting damp because of the way I had my furniture. My bedroom/lounge would have probably been the same size as yours. I didn’t have a hallway but my kitchen which was my favourite part of the flat because it was spacious and a separate room and the cupboards were nicer than where I’m living now. The bathroom was okay bit more room than yours. It had a shower whereas I like a bath and the bathroom did suffer from damp quite a bit. I could touch the walls and they were wet as anything so I had to move due to my ongoing health issues. Now I’m in a lovely one bedroom flat that is brand-new and very spacious apart from the lounge and I would say my hallway is my favourite part of the flat because it’s so spacious.

    Never seen you that excited! I love the energy!❤
    I definitely agree, I currently live in a slightly larger apartment than yours in Turkey, just to have a safer place from the war in my country. The place is with a kitchen right next to the bed and study area, everything is small and tiny but all functional.
    And we managed to place the furniture so we have most space and that worked so well!
    I definitely feel like this experience humbled me and showed me that I can literally make any place, no matter how small, be functional and homie.❤
    Always grateful 🙏🏻

    I do feel landlords are taking the mick by converting their houses into smaller flats but trying to squeeze as many flats into a large house, so they can charge overinflated rents. When you consider if you move out into zone 6 and have access to trains like the Elizabeth line you can get larger space for cheaper rents. And in some cases, for the price of rent you pay closer to the city centre, like zone 2-4 you can sometimes purchase a freehold and own the property out right. That being said, you and you’re husband have made your small studio look nice and liveable. I particularly like the portable kitchen island that can be brought out for use when cooking and neatly put away afterwards after cooking.

    If this is on the top floor and it looks that way, then that is where the servants used to live. Originally it would have been one big house. From the 60s onwards houses were converted into lots of tiny flats in London. In the 80s lots of slumlords were able to get properties cheaply off the councils under Thatcher’s ill-advised right to buy scheme. - A pre-war building tends to have much more character indeed - I have lived in all sorts of places since coming to London and yes, the first one was a flatshare with four others. Having one’s own place is the best.

    I live in a one-bedroom apartment in East London, where I pay £1,350 plus bills. It has a separate bedroom and a spacious bathroom with a bathtub. It only takes me 20-30 minutes to get to Central London.
    Honestly, unless an apartment like this costs around £900-£1,100, I don’t think it’s worth it. I don’t understand why people choose to live in such small spaces when they could commute the same distance and have a larger home for less money.
