Tiny flat… in SAW condition! 11ft by 11ft apartment in north London is likened to terrifying room from hit horror film as it hits the rental market for £1,100-a-month

Renters mock £1,100 studio flat in London and compare it to a horror film set akin to the gory Saw franchise
‘Prison-like’ property in Haringey, north London, sparked hilarious online reviews from bemused renters
Much-mocked features of the odd flat include the handmade staircase or the outdoor washing machine

Renters have blasted a £1,100-a-month London flat and compared the gloomy-looking property to the film set of a grisly horror movie.

The ‘prison-like’ property is located in the Manor House Warehouse district of Haringey, north London.

And some creative choices have been made with furnishings, with a bed made so sparsely that people mistook it for a wooden pallet and bathroom sink described by one viewer as a ‘maternity ward bowl’.

Unimpressed online horror fans likened the property to a set where they might film another instalment of the gore-fest Saw movies – the £880million franchise that sees victims tortured in increasingly creative ways in pursuit of winning ‘the game’.

Closer inspection of the photos of the flat would seem to show the mezzanine close to the three-metre high ceiling, making it unlikely that an average-sized adult would be able to stand up in the ‘bedroom’ area or ‘lounge’.

The studio advertises a horde of amenities in addition to its kitchenette, mezzanine level, a lounge area beneath the mezzanine and an en-suite bathroom.

Advertised on the SpareRoom website, the poster also boasts of a fridge ‘integrated into the stairs’ and an outdoor washing machine that can help ‘to save space’.

Online commenters were quick to mock the £1,100-a-month property on everything from the ‘mezzanine level’ to the flat’s creepy atmosphere.

The advert was shared by TikTok reviewer Adamzinho, whose followers shared their thoughts on the unfurnished flat’s appearance.

During his hilarious review, the Scot questions a variety of aspects of the design within the apartment.

Hovering an image of his own head over the advert, he takes viewers on a virtual tour of the property.

In reference to a large black mark on the floor by the door, he jokes: ‘As you enter you immediately notice somebody has tried to burn this s***hole to the ground by setting fire to the floor.’

Adamzinho reflects that he may fall out of the bed from the mezzanine level and while bemoaning other fixtures and fittings, including a strange hook on the wall, he comments: ‘What is he hanging up there? Why would you put a shelf this high? Is that a two-way mirror?’

Another commented: ‘Hooose? That’s a f*****g cupboard with a sink from a maternity ward!’

A third remarked: ‘Got something to make the bed base out of? I’ve got a free pallet spare? F*** it that’ll do. Ta da..’

While demanding a security deposit of a whopping £1,500, the rent is inclusive of internet, council tax and water rates.

However, the gas and electricity is shared with the flat next door, with both properties having to split the utility bills.

Much-mocked features of the flat include the handmade staircase with ‘integrated fridge’ which leads to a mezzanine bed made up of four posts, six slats and a slab of wood.

Also ridiculed was the sink in the en-suite bathroom, which appears to be made from a silver metal bowl with a downpipe cut into it.

Commenters also made fun of the overriding creepy atmosphere of the recently vacated property, referencing the likes of Saw and The Silence of the Lambs.

One said: ‘It’s occupied because they’re filming the new Saw in there.’

A third remarked: ‘I thought it was a prison cell to start with.’

The ad for the 11ft x 11ft flat states ‘no smoking permitted in the property under any circumstances, and we cannot allow pets in the property I’m afraid’.

One commenter responded: ‘Wouldn’t even let my dog live there.’

Another remarked: ‘I lost it at the cat flap.’

A third added: ‘Even a cat would be suicidal stuck in that casa.’

The individual advertising the property was approached for comment but declined.
