Professional looking for quiet and calm home

I’m a single professional in my 40s. I have recently started a job working in a church in London but am currently commuting in from Essex. I am now looking for a living space in London as the long commute is not sustainable but crucially I need maximum flexibility for my new job.

I’m more on the quiet and reserved side. I need a certain amount of time to myself each day but that doesn’t mean I’m not sociable. I enjoy meeting new people and would also want to spend some time with my housemates. I don’t want to live in a place where the housemates just live there, don’t connect with each other, can’t problem solve in a healthy and constructive way. I’m aware of my needs but am also very considerate of other people’s needs and respect them.

I enjoy music (trained as a musician), cooking, reading, running.
