looking for a place to live in London

Fri, Jan 11, 2013

I’ve been posting about this on Facebook and Twitter, to no avail. Time to spread the word here.
I need to find a new place to live in London by the end of January. I’m not kidding when I say I’m on a starving-writer’s budget. A flatshare or lodger situation is what I’m seeking. Housesitting and/or petsitting would work, too. I need to be able to get into the West End area of Central London without too much hassle or too long a commute. I need unlimited broadband so I can work, which is pretty much all I do when I’m home. I don’t smoke, and I’m not a party person. I like pets and they usually like me. I’ve never ever not paid a bill on time in my entire life.

I’m getting pretty desperate. Anyone who knows anyone looking for a clean, quiet lodger or roommate, please let me know.

(What could, alternatively, help: everyone reading this either becoming a subscriber of FlickFilosopher.com or of my new project, Movie Cheat Sheet. Then I wouldn’t be a starving writer anymore.)

Thank you.

UPDATE: Need digs acquired. Alas, it’s not sharing a Baker Street flat with Sherlock Holmes, but it’ll do for now.

share and enjoy

I can’t help you out, since I don’t live in the UK, but good luck to you. And I already subscribe to your site, so I hope others will do so too. Take care.

My only suggestion is spareroom.co.uk, which is set up for flat shares and people looking for lodgers. I could probably help you temporarily if you end up in dire need, but I’m the wrong side of London for you (out past Croydon to the South).
