    Contractor accommodation in London

    BP worker living at The Ritz for 3 years

    An IT consultant for BP who has been living in a £815-a-night suite at The Ritz for almost three years today claimed her five-star accommodation was cheaper than a renting “a nice flat”.

    Niloo Madani, 31, has been living in the luxurious junior suite since 2008 when she started working for the oil giant, and is employed under three-month contracts.

    “No landlord would rent to me,” she said.

    Not much of a report is it?

        Must be on a hefty rate to make it worthwhile, or will BP be footing the bill?

            She won't be paying £800

            I've stayed at places longterm and had the cost of a £200 room per night cut to £70.

              Still I would imagine it would be around £250 minimum, big chunk of the rate, and surely you can rent a flat for less than 7.5k a month.

                We're not all on £80.00 per day.

                If she's on £1.5k+ per day, like me*, it's proportionate.

                Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
