Bright Quiet Room Near Primrose Hill

Hello! I'm subletting the second bedroom in my 2-bed flat, available from Sept-December. This is best suited for someone in London temporarily or who has just moved here from abroad - please see my note about storage below. :)

The Location
It's on the main road exactly halfway between the Chalk Farm and Belsize Park stations (7-min walk to either). There are loads of shops and cafes on my block and three other high streets close by. Primrose Hill, Camden Market, and Regent's Canal are all within a 10-minute walk, and Hampstead Village and the Heath is 20 minutes walking. It's a quiet neighbourhood just up the hill from all the action in Camden and quite well connected to the whole city via the Northern line. It's truly one of the best locations in London IMO.

The Flat/Setup
The place is really spacious with tons of character and natural light in every room. It is fully furnished, decorated, and stocked with everything you could possibly need: washing machine, dishwasher, TV, all household appliances, dishes, kitchenware, cookware, and tableware, etc. The entrance to the flat is on the top floor (two flights of stairs) of a building with two other flats and a shop on the ground level.

The flat itself is two levels. On one level is the spare room and the bathroom. On the other level is my bedroom and the rest of the flat, so there is plenty of privacy. Although the bathroom is shared, I tend to use the kitchen sink to avoid going downstairs, so we really only share the toilet and shower. The spare room is very peaceful and quiet because it’s at the back of the building, and it gets the best sunlight in the morning. ☀️

Something to note is that there is no storage available outside of the bedroom other than kitchen cabinets and a coat rack, so this is best suited for someone in London temporarily or just arriving/ going through a transition period - i. e. someone who doesn’t come with more than a few suitcases/ no household goods. There is a good amount of storage in the bedroom, though (a wardrobe, huge drawers under the bed, bedside cabinets, storage ottoman, 4 wall cabinets, some wall hooks, and a desk with a shelf).

Me + You
I'm a 39-year-old civil rights attorney and occasional freelance social worker who moved to London from NYC in 2023. I'm very extroverted and chatty but also considerate of people's differing needs for space, quiet, etc. Ideally I'm looking for another woman around my age/ life stage who I can share my home with - someone clean, responsible, communicative, and considerate of others who is friendly and maybe wants to binge a tv show together sometime. We certainly don't need to be best friends, but I generally like getting to know the women who stay with me. A handful of them have become good friends who I am still in touch with.

I have no preference on whether you are always home or never home or what your schedule is. The layout of the flat makes it very easy to both be here and not even realize the other person is around. My job is fully remote, but my desk area is completely separated from the living room/ dining room/ kitchen. If you work remote, there is a desk in the bedroom, and you would also always be welcome to work in any of the common spaces. I would actually love to co-work because body doubling makes me way more productive (iykyk!).

Finally and *importantly* - I have a very sweet and loving little 13-year-old dog that WILL want to be your new best friend. He is quiet and well-behaved, but I’m hoping for a dog lover, not a dog tolerator. :)

Bills are around £240/ month including gas/electric, water, council tax, wifi, and a bi-weekly cleaner. Bedding, towels, clothes hangers, and drying rack for laundry are provided. I also got a fan for the room since our summers have gotten so hot! Some shared supplies like cleaning products and bin bags are also taken care of.

If you are interested, please send me a message with a little bit about yourself, what you're doing in London, and the exact dates you are looking for. I am also happy to provide references from some of the women who stayed in the past who I'm still friends with. Thanks!
