Room for rent in spacious shared house central London

Greater London, England, United Kingdom
Rates from GBP £950 | Monthly

House | Private Space
Available Dates:
From August 1, 2026

Description

We are two academics (Chemistry and International Relations) looking for a considerate housemate to sublet a spare room in our home, just a 7-minute walk from Kennington Tube. The house is spacious, warm, and comfortable, with both a front and a back garden (fully gated), offering rare outdoor space in London. The available room overlooks the back garden, making it particularly quiet, and comes furnished with all essentials (flexible if you’d like to make it your own). One of us occupies the two rooms upstairs and smokes, but only in his study. He also has a dog—calm, quiet, friendly, and usually kept upstairs when indoors—so this home would suit someone comfortable around dogs. We keep the house very tidy, enjoy cooking, and appreciate cultural activities. While we’re friendly and respectful, we also value personal space and quiet; this is a home that prioritises calm rather than constant socialising. We’re looking for someone independent, considerate, and comfortable with a peaceful, low-key living environment. London can be intense, and we see our home as a place to unwind, reflect, and recharge. If you value privacy, quiet routines, and a respectful shared space, this could be a great fit.
