London housing

[mirrorshard]

A friend's moving over from Ireland on Tuesday, but has unexpectedly been shat on from a great height by his expected landlady who has given the room he'd promised to take to someone else.

Anyone know of any possibilities? 'Cheap' would be good, 'not a hell hole' would also be good. East London would be useful, but not obligatory. He's a non-smoker, possibly lapsed but certainly well-behaved.

I am so close to going around to that house and doing bad things to the girl involved...

hmmmmm. we -might- be having problems with the people who were originally going to sublet our flat (as in this post: http://claudacity.livejournal.com/181416.html) so if he's still looking for accommodation after the weekend of the 24th/25th, let me know as we'll be more clear on the whole situation with them then. (I hope things work out for him, ack!)

I'll pass that on, cheers!

Who is it?

I'm thinking if he's prepared to commute - our spare room may be a possibility for him to look from. (paddington 25 mins)
