I went to London yesterday to view flats. I decided to look for flatshares where I could possibly save a few hundred per month compared to my previous tiny as fuck studio flat. I viewed a few places and each time it was a tiny as fuck room in a really claustrophobic flat that would have to be shared with 2 or 3 other people. Fucking hell, wide lenses are really put to good use in the adverts. I would barely be able to get my suitcases in the rooms.
The first place I went to took the piss. I turned up to the flat and the person showing me around showed me to my room and there was a friend of the flat mates, or maybe just a passing vagrant, in the room. And he had to be told to go away a few times. When I got in to the room it was tiny. And then the guy showing me the flat later says something to the effect of, "Well, the room is a bit small. We'll take £20 per month off the price." The entire flat was comically small, like a toy version made for kids. And the toilet room was right next to the advertised bedroom.
The second place was not much better. The exterior of the building looked like a worn down shitheap. It was in one of the areas in London that consist of 50 % hipsters and 50 % Muslims. The flat was again claustrophobic and made to look a lot bigger in the photos.
Both places looked like former social housing.
Why is living in a shoebox the only option? How do all these Londoners cope? Are they all rich?
The problem is you have to live with guys. Find one of these places where 1-2 girls lives and suddenly it isnt so bad. Or get one bigger place and rent out to girls. Trust me on this one.

Living with women is worse..they're generally filthy, complain a lot and they'll bring men home
Charles Brown
No big deal, you'll only be sleeping there anyway, since you'll be working two jobs to afford it and spend the rest of the time at the pub.

OP listen to guy below also listen to this guy too as he is not false
Christopher Campbell

Sebastian Bailey
Ooh get OP! He wants to live in THE premier English speaking city anywhere in the entire fucking world and he’s upset there’s not enough room for his butler!
Well you posh fucking knob, piss off back to Nottingham or Skelmersdale or wherever the fuck you come from. London is a Working City for spunky go-getters not for lah-di-dah snowflakes. We’re full!
>THE premier English speaking city anywhere in the entire fucking world yeah, that's not true anymore, or for like the last 50 years at least

Logan Hall
London is full of .. and the streets smell like piss I don't even know why billionaires live there

Londons fucking trash dude. NORF is 10x as comfy. London has shitty weather combined with a bunch of motherfuckers that barely speak English.
>50 % hipsters and 50 % Muslims wait a few years 50% of the flats should be vacant or try to infuriate slimes against hipsters to accelerate the process
I live in Manchester. Detached house with my own drive way for less than £300k.
London is a fucking joke.

London is an incredible meme. People flock there for the job/wage opportunities, but spend so much on housing and other expenses that they end up worse off than people up north who have half the salary.
Same goes for any major city really. Make x2 more, but have to spend x5 more for the same standard of living.
