“I’ve seen jail cells bigger than this [for real].”
(Picture: Space Let / Zoopla)If something sounds too good to be true, it often means it is.
A Victorian property in one of London’s exclusive postcodes, West Kensington, has hit the market at the suspiciously low cost of £390 per month.
The issue? It’s minuscule.
The fully furnished bedsit is so tiny that the bed is in touching distance of the kitchen. In fact, it blocks the entire kitchen and prevents the fridge from fully opening.
While it boasts “wooden floors”, there’s not really much to see. Instead, a wardrobe, chest of drawers and a table with one chair covers the space – leaving next-to-no room to stretch your legs.
The flat doesn’t even have space for its own toilet. The tenant will share the bathroom with the other residents in the block.

She said: “Randomly browsing apartments on Zoopla for no reason and I came across this.
