The Apartment....

So I know that you're all waiting on the edge of your seat to see my new abode and want to know if I'm living in total poverty or not. No need to worry! I will survive no matter the circumstances! So Now I will reveal to you the mysteries of a London apartment!

This is the lovely front door of my apartment. I am at 15 Bedford Street, and it looks so nice from the outside. The whole neighborhood/street looks pretty spiffy. To get in the door you need a little black fob that you hold up to the sensor and then there are multiple locks to get into your personal rooms. When you walk into the entrance hall you go straight, go down the stairs through the fire door and you'll find three doors. One goes to the laundry room, one to the main part of the apartment and the third to the bedroom. I'm not going to show you the laundry room. I showed you my bed (the only important part of the bedroom) so now I'm going to show you the common area!!! YAAAAY!!!

This is the entry hall straight ahead and to the left is the main common area, there are two doors that we don't have access to and directly to the left are the bathrooms.

Directly to the left, here are the bathrooms. Yes we have to full bathrooms, what is really annoying about them is that the light switches are on the outside as you can see, as is with almost every room. Put the stupid light switches inside the door and the hall light should be near the entrance door (which it is not). But it's nice that there are two bathrooms, lessens the congestion.

This is the lefthand bathroom, just in case you're wondering what an English bathroom looks like. It's fairly nice, this is the shower that has hot water, they're working on getting it in the right hand bathroom, it needs a new thermostat. The building people must think we're freaks we need so much attention. >.< But what am I to do? My momma always taught me that it's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil. So I am SQUEAKING!!!

This is the main living area from my desk (only two of them fit in the bedroom so I took the one in the living area and have effectively taken it over). We haven't turned on the TV yet and the times I have sat on the couches I have to say they're not that comfortable, but not that bad. I was hoping for leather....mmmm....leather....XD

This is from the door looking into the main living area, to the right is the desk I am currently sitting at, to the right is a smaller table that Rebecca some times takes over and behind all that is our small kitchen. I went shopping today so it now actually has some food in it! YAY!! I got eggs and green stuff, and I'm going to COOK....here's to not burning down the apartment!!!

This is the left hand nook of the kitchen, we have a stove, oven, microwave, toaster, water heater...sink...utensils...looks very nice, very inviting and warm....not much else to talk about...


Aaaaannnnd the right hand nook = the fridge...that's about all of it!!! Ta for now!
