Double Room in Bow w/ gym, pool, good transport

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
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 better setups I’ve seen in London:

- Full gym with squat rack, bench, cables, etc
- Studio with free yoga / pilates / spin classes
- 20m swimming pool
- Hot tub, steam room & sauna
- A real community feel within the gated complex with a shared terrace
- Potential Parking Available for Rent indoor or outdoor

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

About Me:
I’m Canadian and have been living in London for just over a year. I’m active (having the gym a short walk away is huge and Vicky Park), 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 took a two-year career sabbatical as a mechanical engineer to backpack and bartend before heading back into corporate life as a management consultant. I generally WFH Monday and Friday. I’m pretty easy-going and don’t have loads of stuff. 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/run together.

Given my backpacking roots, I do enjoy occasionally hosting friends passing through as the shared space is quite large. I would like someone open to hosting folks every now and then while of course being communicative and mindful of shared boundaries.

I’d like to get to know the right person before committing, so I’m flexible on move-in and happy to chat further.
