Double room with a view in Bow flat.

We are a gay couple (aged 42 and 54) offering a room for a lodger in Bow.

We both work from home, and at times one of us handles sensitive information. For this reason, we are specifically looking for someone whose job is based in a workplace rather than someone who works from home.

We’re friendly, but tend to keep to ourselves and won’t expect a lot of social interaction. It’s definitely not what you’d call a party pad - just the occasional Saturday night every couple of months with our close friends, cocktails, and movies.

The room is bright, with a double bed, wardrobe, Chromecast TV, and a table and seat. The shared spaces are the kitchen and bathroom, and the flat has wifi, a dishwasher, smart electric heating, and great views towards the City and Canary Wharf.

We’re quite independent and private, so our ideal lodger would be a mature, self-reliant, non-smoking professional - perhaps someone working in Canary Wharf (30 minutes to your desk) or the City (via District/Central). We’re about half an hour away from London City Airport, and 45 minutes from the Eurostar at St. Pancras.

5 minutes to Bow Church (DLR); 10 minutes to Bow Road (District/H&C); bus routes 8 and 25 stop within a few minutes' walk. Convenient for Tesco at Roman Road or at Bromley-by-Bow (488 bus), and Westfield Stratford (276 or 339 bus).

Bills included. One month's rent (£845) plus five weeks' deposit (£1,040) in advance. Notice period of two months.
