------ A Bit About Me ------

I’m Simon, a friendly, down-to-earth British guy. I work from home as a freelance Graphic Designer and have lived in East London for 20 years. I'm very clean, tidy, chilled and respectful — into art, design, photography, music, galleries, cycling, meditation, flea markets, and a generally relaxed lifestyle.

------ Who I’m Looking For ------

I’d love to find someone who is:

Friendly, respectful, and considerate, Clean, tidy, and easy to live with. Happy to have a chat or share a drink now and then, but also values personal space. Someone who is looking for and appreciates a calm, relaxed home environment (no crazy party vibes here!)

Ideally a working professional or a responsible student (QMUL is only a 15-minute walk away)

No couples or pets.

------ A Few Kind Words From Previous Lodgers ------

"Simon is a really great landlord and flatmate – chilled, friendly, thoughtful, he makes you feel very welcome and comfortable at his place. He genuinely is the best landlord to be sharing a flat with."

"Really enjoyed living here the past year. Simon is genuinely lovely, friendly and respectful. It’s very comfortable, nice place and area to live, I will miss it :) "
