    Unfortunately it may take a while to find a room unless he knows other people.
    Helpful with a touch of the supercilious.

      Would you pay £800 for a shared room in a house excluding bills? That's what you will be paying if you live in zone 2.

      If you live in the outer zones transport costs go up so if you can cycle in you may as well.

        Me?

        No chance. London is a tulip hole full of gobtulipes.

        If forced to commute in - I would look at Hungerford.

          Indeed. The average wage in London is supposed to be £35k? Maybe all of London is full of people who own their own accommodation.

              It's right by the train station BP.

              Cycling in London is for organ donors.

                  Actually you are fine cycling in most areas.

                    Those rooms are tiny.

                    Most adults specifically male ones like double beds with room to walk around the bed.

                      Very useful when making homemade porn flicks. I'm told.
