Bedsits and Studios
Bedsits and Studios - or open plan living
areas - have become a hot item in recent years. Developers
and landlords have led a trend that has seen old
warehouses, churches, terraces,
and similar spaces converted into often very up-market
studio apartments. Many studios are in the inner-city
suburbs or in converted maritime buildings along the
Thames, and are therefore very handy for those that
want the city on their doorstep.

Bedsits are common in the UK, and are really
just one room, self-contained flats
within larger houses or buildings. A typical bedsit
would consist of a room with a bed, basic cooking
facilities, a hand basin, and a small fridge. Few
are spacious, although (as with most forms of accommodation
in London) there are more expensive exceptions to
the rule.
Most bedsits don't have their own bathroom, and often
the only difference between a 'bedsit' and a 'studio'
in the language of a landlord is this provision of
this facility. There may also be communal kitchens
in a bedsit premises.
Bedsits are attractive to those that prefer their
own company are not planning to stay in one place
for long, and are perhaps on a tight budget.
While probally not cheaper than average rates for
sharing a room in an established flat, most bedsit
rates quoted typically include most bills, although
you'll probably have an electricity meter that you
will have to feed coins into to keep the supply going.
