Our Temporary Flat

We've been put up in a temporary flat in Bermondsey just off the Tower Bridge road. It's fairly small - we figure it's somewhere between 250 - 350 sq feet, consisting of a small living room with a couch and a tv, a little table for two, and a small kitchen area. We've also got a little bedroom area, although it's not seperated in any way from the rest of the flat, as well as a small bedroom.

It's in a newish development called "The Maltings", which is a converted brewery I think. Our particular section was just built/renovated two years ago but they did a crap job - the laminate floor doesn't quite meet the wall for example.

It's in a fairly decent neighbourhood, although Bermondsey is one of the "up and coming" areas in London. Formerly quite rough and tumble it's starting to become a slightly nicer area, although I'm not sure I'd feel too comfortable walking around at night around here.

We've got a nice view - across the city to the London Eye directly out our patio window, and a view of city hall if we stand on the balcony.

It looks like we're going to be here until the 11th at least, which means we're going to have to figure out how to use the little washing machine...

Here's some pictures of our view:
