Thursday, 20:00, [http://www.gumtree.com/london/78/10610478.html Lovely airy double room in friendly flatshare (£104 pw)] DRAYTON PARK,  A lovely airy small double bedroom is available for rent in a friendly 3 bedroom flatshare in the Highbury & Islington/Holloway area. The flat is a top floor flat in a converted Victorian townhouse, which is situated in a fantastic area with excellent transport links. The room itself has a large sash window, making it a really pleasant space. The furniture - bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers - is all provided. The whole flat has a light and airy feel as a result of the numerous large sash windows and is tastefully decorated, retaining original features whilst also feeling modern. All the rooms open out onto a large hallway within the flat. The lounge is large and includes a three piece suite and dining table. The kitchen is well equipped, with gas hob, electric oven, fridge-freezer, washing machine and plenty of storage space. The bathroom is modern and has both a bath and separate shower cubicle. The flat is conveniently located for the numerous pubs, bars, and restaurants of Upper Street and the surrounding area. It is really well served for tube and overground stations. Drayton Park station (southbound trains to Moorgate, northbound towards Welwyn Garden City and Hertford) is only 1 minute's walk away. Holloway Road tube station, on the Piccadilly Line, is around 7 minutes walk away. Highbury & Islington station (Victoria Line underground and overground services) is around 9 minutes walk away. The flat is about a 20-25 minute walk away from Angel tube and also close to King's Cross for mainline services. There are numerous local bus routes. The greenery of Highbury Fields, a particularly lovely place in the sunshine, is only 5 minutes away. We also have two large cinemas on our doorstep. It is easy to get around town, but there is also loads to do in the local area. You will be sharing with two friendly young professionals, one girl and one guy, both in our mid-twenties. We are hoping to find someone who is friendly and easy-going and who is interested in socialising with us, but also has their own independence. We are clean and tidy without being obsessed with such details! '''Matt, 07939 278870, Flat 4, 63 Drayton Park'''

Hello!


NO: Homely Flatshare near the Angel, Islington (£640 pw), Eric Paul, 07723 62 00 93
I'm looking to join an existing houseshare with at least two others. I'm
looking for it to be a nice, social, mixed houseshare north of the river.
My favourite areas are Angel, Islington in general and Hoxton/Shoreditch.
I'd consider other similar areas but ONLY centralish areas in zones 1-2.
I'd consider as far north as Finsbury Park.


==Ring==
I am 25 years old, male, British, and an IT consultant whose base is near
Liverpool Street. I'm an easy going, good humoured,
sociable and tidy...the norm in that respect really.
My interests are general socialising, travelling, some sports (e.g.
badminton, tennis, played socially), clubbing, pubbing, salsa dancing,
meeting new, random people, computer stuff, films and music in general,
good food and drink and trying new things, e.g. wine tasting and zorbing.

but am happy to wait for the right people and the right place. It's likely
your call will go to voicemail as it's awkward to answer the phone at work,
but I'll ring you back.

I am currently looking at Islington/Angel area too, and as i know it fairly well and think I would be comfortable living there. I am looking for a flat share with people a similar age to myself and simailar interests that are open to socialising and hang out. I think you and Kate sound like my kind of people, and your budget sounds similar to mine.

I am a keen music enthusiast, currently thinking of learning to play guitar (I have bought one, but so far it sits untouched and unloved) I like to go out. I'm a pubber more than a clubber - but i do indulge in both when i can afford it. Anyway, It would be great to meet up if you think I would be a suitable flat/housemate. feel free to give me a bell. Hope to speak to you soon. 556pcm exc bills, end of May. Sounds pretty cool, '''Meeting Wednesday, 6:30, Bank'''

Hello!

I'm looking to join an existing houseshare with at least two others. I'm looking for it to be a nice, social, mixed houseshare north of the river. My favourite areas are Angel, Islington in general and Hoxton/Shoreditch. I'd consider other similar areas but ONLY centralish areas in zones 1-2. I'd consider as far north as Finsbury Park.

I am 25 years old, male, British, and an IT consultant whose base is near Liverpool Street. I'm an easy going, good humoured, sociable and tidy...the norm in that respect really. My interests are general socialising, travelling, some sports (e.g. badminton, tennis, played socially), clubbing, pubbing, salsa dancing, meeting new, random people, computer stuff, films and music in general, good food and drink and trying new things, e.g. wine tasting and zorbing.

I want to meet people who'd be sociable, up for going out to bars etc., and don't spend all evening every evening locked up in their rooms!

Get in touch if you're interested and we can have a chat and maybe meet for a drink or something. Ideally, I want to move in within the next few weeks, but am happy to wait for the right people and the right place. It's likely your call will go to voicemail as it's awkward to answer the phone at work, but I'll ring you back.

Thanks for reading!

P.S. I can move in instantly

Replying to houseshares

Hello!

I saw your ad on Gumtree and it seems as though you're pretty decent people so I'd like to find out more! I'm up for a friendly, sociable houseshare, not one where people stay locked up in their rooms all evening and weekend.

I am 25 years old, male, British, and an IT consultant whose base is near Liverpool Street. I'm an easy going, good humoured, sociable and tidy...the norm in that respect really.

My interests are general socialising, travelling, some sports (e.g. badminton, tennis, played socially), clubbing, pubbing, salsa dancing, meeting new, random people, computer stuff, films and music in general, good food and drink and trying new things, e.g. wine tasting and zorbing.

I want to meet people who'd be sociable, up for going out to bars etc., and don't spend all evening every evening locked up in their rooms!

Just to let you know, in a month or two, I will have to work in Chester from Monday morning to Thursday evening, but will be around Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights hopefully in the house in London. These are the most important nights in my opinion anyway :) Just really letting you know in case you think this poses a problem.

Get in touch if you're interested and we can have a chat and maybe meet for a drink or something. Ideally, I want to move in within the next few weeks, but am happy to wait for the right people and the right place. It's likely your call will go to voicemail as it's awkward to answer the phone at work, but I'll ring you back.

This response is embarassingly huge. Congratulations if you made it down to here!

Thanks,

Marc, 07951 114441
