Yannis's room

Newham, England E7 9BJ

Unfortunately, my current flatmate is moving out, so I am looking for someone friendly, respectful, and easy to live with. Our house is cosy and well-balanced in size, with a garden that we try to keep tidy and green. Downstairs, we have an open-plan living and dining area, along with a bathroom. Upstairs are the bedrooms and a small WC with a shower.

The available bedroom is a good size and comes furnished with a double bed, large wardrobe, chest of drawers, and desk.

We are Forest Gate Zone 3 near Stratford The area is well connected and convenient—around 5–10 minutes from Forest Gate (Elizabeth Line station) and about a 10-minute bus ride to Stratford. There are plenty of local amenities, including Lidl, Tesco, Co-op, cafés, and it is generally a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood.

Bills:

• No water bill
• Council tax: £87.50 per person
• Wi-Fi (we will be changing provider when you move in)
• Gas and electricity vary— we have paid between £35-70

I’m a social worker, open-minded, queer, and originally from Greece, though I’ve lived in the UK for over 20 years. I enjoy vinyl, concerts, contemporary dance, and theatre. I live a fairly calm lifestyle and am not a party person, although could go the occasional club —I’d like to share the space with someone similar.

I have a good relationship with my current flatmate and would like to find someone who values communication, mutual respect, and a positive living environment. Ideally, this would feel like more than just a place to sleep.

I’ll be going on holiday at the end of June, so I’m hoping to find someone before then. Please send me a bit about yourself, and I will arrange viewings over the weekend.

I understand how difficult it can be to find housing in London, so I apologise in advance if I’m not able to respond to everyone.

Move-in date: between 1st to 14th July. I will check with my flatmate and confirm soon.

*Please make an effort and write a bit about yourself so I can understand your vibe.
