Room in Bow - Gym, Good Transport, Chill Flat

Double room available in a 2 bed 1 bath flat in Bow, East London. The room is furnished and you’ll be sharing the living space with me.

Rent: £1,300/month (excluding bills)
Bills: approx. £180–300 total (Wi-Fi, water, council tax, heating – seasonal dependent)

The building has 24/7 security and concierge, a Morrisons on site, and genuinely one of the best amenity setups I’ve seen in London:

- Full gym
- Studio with free yoga / pilates / spin classes
- 20m swimming pool
1 Hot tub, steam room & sauna
- A real community feel within the gated complex

Transport: Very well connected with District, Hammersmith & City, Central Line, and DLR all within 5–10 minutes. Hackney Wick / Stratford around 20 minutes walk.

About Me:
I’m Canadian and have been living in London for just over a year. I’m quite active (having the gym on premise is big time), tidy, and social but I also value home being a calm, relaxed place. Always up for a drink, cooking together, or a good conversation, but equally happy doing our own thing. I don’t spend a lot of time at home but looking to focus more on my hobbies rather than just fitness related stuff.

I am a mechanical engineer and took a two year career sabbatical. I backpacked around the world and tried my hand at bartending in London before heading back into corporate as a management consultant. I’m pretty easy going and don’t have many belongings. I’d love the flat to feel more homey rather than just functional.

Looking for:
Someone respectful, clean, and friendly. Ideally also keen to explore London, have good chats, share a drink or cook together, and help keep the flat feeling chill and comfortable. I know plenty of people in the area and I’m always happy to introduce or work out together.

Given my backpacking roots, I do enjoy occasionally hosting friends passing through as the shared space is quite large but I’m very communicative and mindful of shared boundaries. It’s something that’s important to me as a way of paying it forward after being taken care of myself by generous folks! Hopefully that’s cool.

I’m currently away for the holidays and will take nicer photos shortly. Happy to chat in the meantime or send more details.
