Inside 'London's smallest flat' up for just £50k - even Harry Potter would feel cramped
dailystar.co.ukflat in London has been put on the market for £50,000 — and it's so small that even cupboard-dwelling Harry Potter would find it a tight squeeze.The studio flat in Clapton, Hackney, takes up only 75 square feet but manages to pack in a single-bed, cupboard, shelves, microwave, space for a small fridge, fold-out table and a sink.
A separate wet room can also be found with a toilet, sink, shower and towel rail, reports MyLondon.The extraordinarily cosy residence — thought by the estate agent selling it to be the smallest in the entire city — goes on sale at auction next Tuesday (February 15) and starts at £50,000.

He said: “The flat is small — but then again, you also can’t buy a long-leasehold property in central London for £50,000 so it’s a great opportunity for someone to get on the ladder.”The property has 994 years remaining on the lease and is on the first floor of a period conversion, within walking distance from the cafes, bars and restaurants on Chatsworth Road and Lower Clapton Road.
