Cosy double room in central Balham | Short let

I’m heading to Australia for a month, so I’m looking for someone to take my room from 6th January to 3rd February 2027! (Although can be slightly flexible with dates if a must)

📍 Location

The flat is genuinely in one of the best locations in Balham, right in the centre and less than a minute’s walk from Balham Underground (Northern Line), National Rail, Sainsbury’s, Aldi and loads of great pubs, cafés and shops. Everything you could need is pretty much on your doorstep, with excellent connections into central London.

🏠 The Flat

It’s a cosy, characterful flat with a spacious shared living room, fully equipped kitchen and one shared bathroom.

You’ll be living with three lovely male flatmates, all working professionals aged 25–31. We’re a pretty relaxed and sociable household. We enjoy hanging out in the living room, playing board games, watching series and occasionally heading to one of the many local pubs for a beer or pub quiz. Equally, everyone has their own thing going on and respects each other’s space.

Some of the guys commute into the City, while others work from home more regularly, so there’s usually a nice balance.

🛏️ The Room

The room is fully furnished and has a small double bed, desk and chair, wardrobe/storage space and plenty of character.

As I’m only away for a month, I’ll be leaving most of my belongings and decorations in place, but I’ll make sure to clear out the bedside table, an under-bed drawer, wardrobe space and shoe rack space for you to use.

Because of this, the room would be best suited to someone travelling relatively light rather than moving in with lots of belongings.

📅 Who It’s Ideal For

This would be a great option for someone looking for a comfortable, temporary base in London, whether you’re between tenancies, relocating to the city, waiting to move into somewhere permanent or just need somewhere for a few weeks.

Ideally looking for someone who can take the room for the full period (6th January – 3rd February).

Drop me a message (or WhatsApp) with a little bit about yourself if you’re interested, and I’m happy to answer any questions or arrange a viewing! :)
