London flat could be yours for £860 a month… but there’s a tiny catch
A LONDON studio apartment is up for rent for £860 a month – but there’s a small catch.
The cosy flat sits in the sought after area of Swiss Cottage, and comes furnished with some necessities.
But that’s probably because other household items couldn’t fit – the bed is just inches from the makeshift kitchen.
The tiny apartment is in Langtry Walk and comes with a single bed, table and chair.
The kitchen features a small sink, mini fridge, hob and microwave and sits at the foot of the bed.
But it sits so close that renters will have to squeeze past to get to the ensuite.

The wee room does have a single wardrobe, but is too small to fit a sofa – or drawers or bedside tables.
It has no oven or freezer, and instead of a curtain the window is covered by a thin piece of cloth.
But, the tenant will have access to a washing machine.
An estate agent at Berns & Co, West Hampstead, said: “It’s a standard studio flat, there’s nothing more to say.”
