Looking for a room to rent in London on a tight budget? 🏙️ In this video, we explore the wild world of Spare Room, the popular flatshare app that has taken over the London rental market. Whether you're a student, young professional, or simply trying to live affordably in one of the most expensive cities in the world, this video is a must-watch.

Forget studio flats — today we're diving into shared accommodation options under £1,000 per month, with most listings around £400 to £925. But beware: not all listings are as good as they seem! I go deep into the quirks, traps, and sometimes completely insane listings that make Spare Room both a blessing and a horror show for tenants in 2025.

You’ll see:

A £600/month shared bed in East London 🤯

A £400/month room shared with TWO people 😱

A "room" that looks like a broom closet

An en suite advertised for £925 that could actually be a great deal 💡

Listings with mould, no windows, and mystery flatmates

And some genuinely liveable places, too — yes, they do exist!

From confusing descriptions and missing photos, to listings that seem barely legal, this video breaks down what Spare Room listings actually mean, what you should watch out for, and how to tell a good deal from a disaster.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:

“What can I rent in London for £600?”

“Is it safe to share a room with strangers?”

“How do I avoid being ripped off on Spare Room?”

“Is Spare Room better than Rightmove or Zoopla for flatshares?”
Then this video is made for you.

💬 I’ll be giving my honest take on each listing and showing real examples from Spare Room’s current ads — the good, the bad, and the truly unbelievable.

🛑 Before you sign a lease, send a deposit, or even message a poster on Spare Room, make sure you watch this full breakdown.
