Hi Twitter, trying to find a new living situation for myself. I'm looking for a room/flatshare in North/East/South London that can feel like a home for a year or so while I get the money together for a deposit. Can anyone help? DM or comment if so. Pls feel free to share.

‘All around us are the spiralling wealth of financial elites, the dilapidated public realm, unaffordable housing and continued investment in technologies that harm us. Attributing all of this to “the market” prolongs the failure to understand it.’ lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/n07/…
