room wanted around 20th sept

Hard drinking bibliophile seeking a double room... preferably looking for a place with a garden or close to brockwell park. I'm 22, female, interests in the usual: live music, films, pubs, eclectic tastes in most things so we probably share at least some common ground... Would prefer a household that wasn't too intensely proactive to be honest. I'm used to living with actors and writers, so hockey playing 9 to 5ers might intimidate me. Oh, I'm also clean and a pretty good cook.

Available to move around the 20th of September, pm me. Ta x

A room in Brixton, from 7th Sept, £550 inc. bills: www.gumtree.com/london/95/27204995.html

Big disadvantage is sharing the flat with me.

 

[i-am-your-idea]

would it be a crazy scheme if i got a flat in brixton and travelled into kingston every day for uni?

Doesn't look too far on the map, and i like the sound of brixton, home of urban.

I want a change of scenery, but also somewhere that feels home-ish. I'm looking for somewhere under £70 a week, with lovely people, for mid september.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

My daughter lives near Kingston and it's a very long journey on two buses or a bus ride and train journey. It's do-able but takes ages.

if i was near the station it would be more do-able. kingston uni is near the station too. how long would the train take?

 

[RaverDrew]

I used to do the trip everyday. It can be quite draining when the trains are delayed (which is pretty frequently ime).

You're best off getting a tube to vauxhall (~5mins) then a train to kingston (~35mins) or surbiton (~25mins)

I used to get a weekly travelcard zones 2-6 which was just over £22.

Thinking about it now, this was nearly a decade ago. Can't believe how time flies.

Just looked it up for you and a student weekly zones 2-6 travelcard is £21.20. That's cheaper than 10 years ago

£81.50 for the month and £848.00 for the year btw if your interested.

[El Jefe]

This thread is so fucking Londoncentric

 

[Thimble Queen]

i travelled from brixton to kingston for uni in my third year... its not tooo bad... living in brixton is sooo much better than kingston and its made the transition from uni life to normal work life easier... It's only twenty mins on the train from vauxhall to surbiton, then ten mins walk to pen road... also it helps if you've got a regular crash place in kingston for after bacchus etc

 

[i-am-your-idea]

living in brixton is sooo much better than kingston and its made the transition from uni life to normal work life easier...

this is what my instincts tell me, but why do you say that?
i do want to be focussed on my uni work, but also want great friends and social life.

i was lonely in my first year and my work wasn't great. i can find other art students difficult to get on with. for company, i prefer animated people to animators, and people who have experienced something other than education. i think living in brixton, and studying in kingston, i'ld be inspired by occupying two different worlds.

on the other hand, i think i've found a flatshare 5 mins away from uni- seems a lot more practical.

 

[i-am-your-idea]

also, i have a great friend who has moved to brixton, and love love loves it there.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Its made the transition easier because my social life didnt revolve around uni events or friends. I have a good balance of those... it turns out a few of my uni friends who would come and visit me and do things around brixton have moved here since finishing uni earlier this summer

i really does depend on what you want out it. i just needed to get out of kingston beacuse i was sick sick sick of it and i already had a really decent group of friends here... so it seemed for me the obvious and right and happy for my head and heart thing to do... doesnt mean its right for you tho....

being five mins away from uni is really good when you need to do allnighters in the library and things like that...

Also its easy to think that our lives will magically change when we move... it doesnt always work out like that....
