Thanks Watchdog for the idea!

It's a clever one because on the face of it you're keeping all the money... but after a bit of thought (i.e. one second later) I would question why they need proof of that in advance of me just seeing the place.

flat share/1 bed in/around london bridge for sure.

I live in Canada Water (fairly cheap for fairly central) and walk to work in London bridge at the moment. takes 30minutes.

All depends on your budget though!

Going to be working near to London bridge if terms of contract are agreed.

Look on Gumtree.

Dont bother saving a few quid a week to put up with a long commute. Its not worth it, flat shares are cheap enough anyway. If it were me, id find a flat share where I could walk to work. Well, actually, Id find a nice 1 bed flat where i could walk to work, but you see my point.

"hello yes I have flat in London, show me the monneee first, the noise? no it's not livestock, it is the noise of traffic on the Kings road"
