Single Professional with Elderly Cat

High School English Teacher relocating to London to be nearer to family and get more out of life! My brother lives in Leyton so I am trying to get within a reasonable distance of there. I am 31 so looking for somewhere comfortable and willing to pay more for more space. I would like to be able to bring some of my own furniture so it will feel like home.

I can afford a maximum of 1300 if all the bills are included.

I love art and fashion - I own a vintage clothing shop in Barry at the moment! I would love to be in a home of up to 2 other people who are up for a chat and exploring together.

I am a home owner here in Wales so I am very respectful of property. I am clean and tidy but not overly so I won't be following anyone around with a dustpan.

My cat is called Kitty and she is 20 years old. She is super cute but at this point basically a living cushion. She will likely just stay in my room unless you wish to befriend her.
