This Is What £500 In Rent Gets You In London
While it is painfully obvious that London property prices (and now rents) are in an atmospheric bubble, it appears the policy-makers choose to ignore the reality for the average Brit in favor of 'wealth' creation for the few.
As @Alex_Lomax tweets... "I have literally just been shown a bed under the stairs for £500 a month... F You London!"
The ad was posted on site London2let and reads:
One single furnished room available.
We are looking for a friendly, open-minded and outgoing person to join our houseshare in a great period house in Clapham.
We're a good bunch and like to chill out a lot together - not really looking for somebody that just wants to stay in their room. Room comes with a bed.
Bills to be shared - approx £60 per month each. Easy access to local tube stations.
As Alex explains, the room lacked any utilities, but did come with a carton of Daz on the floor and coats hanging from hooks.
I didn't even stay long enough to check if there was a mattress, and the landlord seemed absolutely serious.
I asked him if he was joking and he seemed shocked I'd even asked.
I took the pics secretly when he was making himself a cup of coffee, the cupboard was right next to the kitchen.
I expected a normal single room, definitely not this. I left as quickly as I could.

And your colorful neighbors? In those neighborhoods you're sure to be culturally enriched!
Winning!
So where do the jobless musloids of London live?
In government subsidised ghetto's.
If people are stupid and slavish enough to put up with this, then so be it: "Charge whatever the Market will bear" still works, it seems.
Also, note that people from a superior/dominant culture will not tolerate this, but people from an inferior/submissive culture will.
You thus have the dual effect of Nature + Nurture, to determine who will and who will not tolerate this as an acceptable solution.
Boris Johnson of Oxford Bullyboys and Bullington bowler hatted bombastics fame says that good ole London Town cannot spare 17000 £ to buy the great Tour de France start in London for the coming event (something which was a big success in 2007 & 2013)... 'cos London can't afford it!
Boris of course is a great proponent for making the City the new hi-tech Silicon valley and London the rival to Dubai as land of Nondom Oligarchy land.
Caymans taxfree paradise, lets remember, is a Crown domain...
500 £/month to live like a Syrian refugee and all the money that the banksters can buy!
Some mad dumbbell economy is London town. Two extremes and no middle !
I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from clapham

Lovely song but it is filled with melancholy.
The ad was a trap. The landlord is just trying to attract rape victims.
Catholic in London?
(only half in jest)
An enterprising chap should rent/buy a very large house. Then sublease these compartments to females.
Make sure a couple of “Drunk Nights” or “Netflix Nights” are built into the lease….
Was that a mouse hole next to the pillow?? Or for ventilation??
That's a glory hole.
Perform or expect a substantial rent increase
hmmmm..... evidently london is not the same anymore....
i guess that's what happens when radicals invade one's cpuntry...
oh well... european 'diversity' (lol) brought this.... enjoy it you morons...
£500pm for that is madness. Although Clapham is a desirable and fashionable place in parts, it certainly is not the most expensive or desirable part of London, being south of the river where property prices and rents are lower, largely due to lack of good tube access.
You would have to live here to understand the insurmountable problems this tiny island in the north sea faces, and fucking london is the main one.
If any of you have followed any of my comments I am from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, and have visited the shit hole of a capital twice in my nigh forty years on this cuntish round ball we call home. I am therefore, from the northeast of the isle, now when you come from where I do, and you end up having to visit the capital through work, which is the very south east, it opens your eyes.
The child molesting, dead pig fucking monsters that ruin this shithouse of the same isle I cant get off of must love the depraved fucking inbred sinkhole that is London.
Words dont do that place justice, you would have to visit it, and be as appalled as I was the first time I had to go there through work. I cant even give you a definite description, bar I got showered twice on the way owt of that filthy hovel of a den of inequity.
No wonder the cunts get away with fucking kids, its inbred, hence 500 fucking quid for sleeping under a staircase?? Stick a wine cork up your arse son, thats the ticket.
London is the very epitome of all that is wrong in this world. And the fucker will burn for it.

Perhaps two years ago I read of a survey taken in England that revealed that 70% or so of the population wanted to migrate to either Australia or New Zealand. My wife wants our next holiday to be UK/London..... I'm not so sure these days!
Pihilofoz,
Dont. And I mean that, hold any ideal clear and free in your head, rather than reality.
London is a cess pit of shit mate, best off having fond memories of books youve read than see it for yourself.
You will break her heart bringing her here.

I left the UK in '11, even then it was a sheite hole.
I was wondering if you were going to chime in on this one. I haven't seen you post in a while. I hope you're doing well.
There's no place like London.

Harry Potter lived under such stairs in London. Those muggels are cheap.
And pity the guy with the bed on top of the stairs.
Or in the bath tub.
Well it's better than a sharp stick in the eye.
It's the "I got mine" crowd that want the new people to pay their way, and chat with them.
Hell, "bring home a six pack bro" while you're at it.
What's wrong with the West?
Greedy and Lazy.
sorry that's the truth and why the doors are wide open everywhere.
Is that even legal to do in the U.K. That's not even enough room for a Leprechaun to stash his gold.
Ahhh, country life, where a small house warrants the same mortgage payment as the rent on a city closet rathole.
Can I bring my big gilfriend from Texas?
'Clap'Hum ? Say no more!
I don't see what the chap was complaining about. The householder also furnishes a proper maid's uniform and pinny plus a half day off on Sundays.
Obama is taking notes for the shrinking middle class for their housing future.
It includes free Daz washing powder. Washing powder is just like real money.
As long as I can pay the rent in Daz, I'm in.
Any muslim in his 20's with a laptop can HFT a billion from a place like that... you won't be laughing then.
Nuke England then all London will be FREE
I honestly would rather live out of a van.
500 EURO, you could most probably find a 450Euro shit-box van that would be more comfortable to live in and its MOBILE!
I should move there buy a vacant lot just outside town, pitch a bunch of tents and rent them out for 120 Euros a month.
Fat British bitches won't fit in that hole asshole.
Maybe African men do.
You want a cure for Western inequality?
Small pox in the hotel air ducts that spread to airplanes.
American author is going to hit Las Vegas with a weaponized small pox strain that spreads around the world.
Then Bada fucking bing!
Fear becomes the new normal when quantitative easing fails to vork, the central banks take it all down and blame the chaos, not themselves for the chaos.
You will become the next statistic in the new world order, or you will not.
Place your bets. Its coming.
The Source.
Outrage and helplessness is the Archon way.
Sucks.
If obscene property prices caused an exodus of firefghters out of the city then who would be there to prevent The Second Great Fire of London?
Just sayin' like . . . . .
