Slightly better than a prison cell

can be used as a bunker at war

What's going on with that metal wall coating?
- Looks like a converted hospital room with those outlets in the metal wall.
- Electromagnetic shield?
  
  Realtor: privacy implements against electronic snooping!
- The built the tin foil hat into the room, so you don't have to sleep in one.
It seems you haven’t seen Scandinavian prison cells…
Let's see the rest of it then!
- Did a reverse image search and it's not quite as bad as I thought:

  What the hell is that room with the weird recesses in the wall with 3 random dressers jammed in there like they belong? And the chairs awkwardly sitting there like that's some kind of socialization space??
  
  There’s another pic that looks very similar to OP but it’s not the same. If those are both the bedrooms then wtf is that metal shit and where do those windows look into?
  
  This place is like some converted bunker.
  
  Edit: ok I think those are the kitchen cabinets those windows look down into, lol from over the sink. Better not be fucking when someone else is making dinner.
  
  Thanks - wonder what the second bedroom looked like. Spacious I expect /s
  
  Surprised to see a bath though. Would have thought a shower would be the order of the day. Not like you're going to have a nice relaxing soak with candles and bubbles .
This is in central London, in a nice area. It's much more spacious of other flats I've seen in London (and worse areas). Yes, it's a basement. If you could afford £1766/month of rent it's still not a terrible deal. You COULD find a better place, but sometimes you don't have the time to keep looking, you have to take the less bad option. For a computer gremlin like me having no natural light would be a bonus tbh.
The windows are a plus
- Extra safety because somebody will watch you sleep.
  
  Realtor: non glaring natural lighting at all times of the year!
i don't tlsee anything wrong with this except the weird metal coating
- The floor window is a nice touch
What's with the metal? Was it a kitchen before?
- Realtor: convenient to clean wall coating!
How much?
- 1700, 2br kings cross, London. Someone linked it further up
- Realtor: discerning buyers only!
This was literally the size of my student housing apart unit. I could stretch my arms and touch the opposite walls.
In jail you have a whole pinochle game and coffee waiting when you wake up…this seems worse
