Decent websites for finding a house/kip to share...

Spareroom.co.uk is always a good option. I can only vouch for its use for London but it certainly cuts out a lot of the nutter element that seem to use Gumtree.

I've used gumtree a few times, always fine. haven't encountered any nutters although i don't know what that says about me.

I've advertised rooms on gumtree many, many times and although most of the time you're OK the nutter quotient on there is considerably higher than spareroom in my experience by quite some way.

You get some fucking oddballs popping round, which can make for an, err, interesting half an hour.

Ah right, I only ever looked for rooms/flats through gumtree and found it fine. Don't think I come across as a nutter but now you mention it the worried reaction of some prospective landlords suggested they probably expected me to be one.

You wouldn't get a self contain bedsit for that. Should get a room in a share though. You talking walking distance or tube travel to there?
