If you don’t mind a warehouse flat, sharing space with 2 or 3 other people, you can get a spacious room for less than £400 pm on Hackney Wick.
Erith
A one bedroom flat in Erith starts from £800 pm, while a two-bedroom is usually around £1,100 pm. Plenty of bargains available if you willing to put the time contacting private owners instead of agents.
