This London flat makes Harry Potter’s room under the stairs look huge
Rooms in London, like in any metropolis around the world, are famously on the smaller side of living arrangements.
But what Alex Lomax from Nottingham claims she encountered while hunting for a flat in the capital drives home just how sparse affordable living is – and how creative landlords can get.
In a shared house in Clapham, in the South West, Lomax encountered a room that could have come straight out of a novel – namely, Harry Potter – but left her shocked.
Far from magical, it’s made up of a single mattress wedged between two walls, into a room that looks like an airing cupboard, with a little room towards the back for a few boxes and some pegs on the wall as storage space.
It’s like Harry Potter – only that Harry’s cupboard was probably bigger than this.
‘I wish I’d been more angry because it’s clearly ridiculous,’ she told Sky News.
Lomax posted a photo of the room, which was offered for a monthly rent of £500 (€677.21, $756.25) on twitter, attracting hundreds of retweets since it went live.
I have literally just been shown a bed under the stairs for £500 a month. F you London! #nothanks #privetdrive!? pic.twitter.com/Rj73NUwz9S

Using the hashtag #privetdrive, she referenced Harry Potter’s famous cupboard under the stairs – although his room was probably a bit more spacious and had at least a little shelf.
The advert, appearing on London2Let, describes the cupboard as a single room.
The supposed advert on London2Let describes the room as a ‘single furnished room’, the potential flatmate would also have to pay an extra £60 (€81.26, $90.75) to cover the bills each month.
‘We’re a good bunch and like to chill out a lot together,’ the advert reads.
‘Not really looking for somebody that just wants to stay in their room.’
