Description

Dear Londoners,

I'm a writer/editor/language teacher looking for a room with space for my desk and some bookshelves. My move in dates are flexible; what's most important to me is to find the right place, preferably in a household where people read books and have some appreciation of creative endeavour.

What I'm doing now:
-Longform journalism for print and online
-Writing a proposal for my second book
-Building up a books and authors podcast I've already started (aiming to record about once a week)
-Online language teaching for private clients
-Occasional copy/development edits

What I’m looking for:
-A quiet room with a bed and space for my desk (140 cm, lightweight flatpack) and my swivel chair, and some bookshelves
-A clean, quiet flat where I can read and write comfortably when needed
-Zones 1-3, with a preference for Peckham or nearby, or north London on Piccadilly/Victoria
-A place where I'll feel comfortable to settle for a while

What I’m like to live with:
-Quiet
-Considerate
-Work from home part of the week, but prefer to be out and about in cafes, libraries (especially British Library, for my book proposal) and attending meetings and events
-Consistently busy with multiple projects

What I’m into:
-Modern history and international relations
-Books
-Drawing
-Photography
-Cinema, (esp. 70s, 80s, 90s)

What I prefer to avoid:
-Shouty messages in ALL CAPS from buy-to-let landlords who regard me as a walking £ sign
-Places where there's lots of noise/activity after midnight (though I'm sometimes up late reading)
-Places where mobile phones are sounding off all the time
