What is living in London like? Hell. Here’s proof, beyond all doubt, that renting in London is a nightmare.
Where is it? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going through some things. I went to see "Rex Orange County" at Brixton last night, which is not something I should admit. You ever do this, where you listen to an artist on Spotify, sort of idly in the background, notice them slowly populating your "Liked" songs list, and then tickets come up for one of their shows and you figure huh, OK, I guess I should go and see them, and you turn up, at the gig, having literally never googled the artist ever once, and when you get there you realise they are fucking 21 years old, they are essentially sadboi Ed Sheeran, and all their fans are too young to drink so there's no queue at the bar? Have you ever done this? Have you ever accidentally gone to what is basically an Ed Sheeran concert, pissed, among children, in Brixton? Has this ever happened to you? Has this ever happened to you?
What is there to do locally? Like, he literally did an Ed Sheeran cover. That's when I knew I'd made a mistake.
Alright, how much are they asking? Oh, right, the format: it's in Stockwell, things to do in Stockwell include "waking up, confused and drunk, in the neon-lit terminus of the night bus", and the rent they are asking for every month is £845. Can we please, now, just look at the eye-level radiator mounted on the wall?
