Man moves into a skip to save on high rents

A man has found a novel way to beat the high cost of living - by moving into a skip. With London having the most unaffordable housing in the UK, Harrison Marshall has found an ingenious way to keep his rent prices down.

Posting under Instagram SKIP House, Harrison is featured with an old skip he has turned into a home, which he will be spending the next year living in. The home is surprisingly well renovated with a small door with a ladder that leads into it.

BristolLive reports that as you go in, you head straight into the living and kitchen area, which as you would expect is quite small. Harrison has a mini fridge and hob but admitted that he has some very friendly neighbours who sometimes bring him hot meals. Upstairs is his bedroom which just consists of a bed with a window.
