Nice area, needs work
Went flat hunting today. If ever there was a more miserable experience than discovering first hand that pictures can be deceiving it has to be this. The camera always lies.
Anyway, to Clapham. A nice area, with just one dodgy street it seems. No prizes for guessing which street the flat was on. The hardest part of the whole sorry experience is sounding convincing when you tell the landlord "Great place!" when all you want to do is get out of there before the mold spots a free lunch. Having to hang out of the window to sit at the desk is something I'm not perfectly happy with. Still, I do that to smoke so I could probably do that to work. But no. Not in this place.
Hell.
But I'll go on looking because I can't stay here. Living with your ex is no good for anyone.

SB- my dear friend, try Craigslist.

I don't know if it's as good over there as it is in California, but I found quite the gem of a place recently. Often times there are pics so you can get some sense ahead of time.
Check the housing section.
Then, if you need furniture, check that section or the "free" section where people are happy to give away things they don't need anymore. You know, having someone come pick it up is easier than borrowing a van to take something to the dump.
Hang in there.
