SOCIAL media users have been left appalled by the size of a tiny room for rent for over £1,000 in London.
The tiny accommodation in Clapham, South West London, comes with barely enough room for a bed and nothing else aside but allegedly boasts a price tag of £1,060.
The room was spotted by one-house hunter who shared it to social media claiming to have “spat [her] drink” out after seeing the cost.
Brits have since slammed the state of the housing market in Britain’s capital, joking that it would be cheaper to “just go to prison”.
An image of the tiny room – which was allegedly listed for rent – shared to social media shows a bed jammed into the small space between the two walls of the room, leaving no space on either side.
Apart from the bed which barely fits, the only other feature is a desk which takes up the rest of the available space.
The tiny room leaves no space at all for storage or movement with the unlucky tenant stuck paying £1,000 for a room that some have compared to a prison cell.
The narrow room features a window directly above the bed allowing the tenant some fresh air in the claustrophobic space.
The image of the room for rent was shared to social media with the caption: “£1,060 in Clapham. I spat out my drink.”
The post has since received over 20,000 likes and more than 600 comments from stunned social media users.
One user said: “Basically a prison cell, just go to prison it’s cheaper.”
Another added: “Just ridiculous. Totally unjustified. People just need to stop paying it.”
A third replied: “My daughter’s friend pays £1,200 for just her room in a 2nd floor ex-local authority flat on a council estate in Islington – with all bills on top.
“For so many, London is now unaffordable.”
Another joked: “On the plus side you can boil the kettle, make breakfast, send an email and put the cat out, all without leaving the bed.”
