Studios to rent in Barons Court, Kensington: Tiny studio flat has the shower in a wardrobe

A tiny studio flat which costs nearly £1,000-a-month to rent is so small the shower is in a wardrobe.

The 108 square foot flat in Barons Court has no toilet and the shower – with only a flimsy curtain – is in an alcove which forms part of a cupboard. 

Despite its size, tenants would spend £940 per month which works out as £217 per week to live in the flat that has a kitchen with no cooking hub or oven. 

There is a microwave and a table with a solo chair squeezed in by the side of the bed where the occupant can cook meals-for-one.
