Twitter account hilariously highlights the difficulty of renting a room in London
The page shows renting a room in the capital at its worst
RENTING a room in London can be quite tricky - especially when you're paying hundreds of pound a week for something a bit crap.
Crap Rooms London has collected the worst examples of London renting in one hilarious Twitter page.
Among the funniest is a 'fish finger bed', lower rent if the tenant babysits and loads of sketchy-looking rooms that can easily be mistaken for crime scene photos.
The Twitter account, which features screengrabs of the original advert with hilarious commentary, says they tweet the crap rooms "as landlords take the p*** in a #HousingCrisis".
One lilac room available for £120 per week in Brixton features a tiny TV, Minnie Mouse teddy, and other cuddly toys. @CrapRoomsLondon says: "If you want to rent your room out for £120pw maybe try to make it look less like a s*** Korean hotel room? #London #CrapRooms".
A 'newly refurbished double room' in Seven Kings, east London, for £550 a month says: "What the f*** makes this room a double? I've seen fish fingers bigger than that bed. #London #CrapRoomsLondon".
