Meeting new people in London

I forgot about this thread. Sent off a PM for the FB group, still interested in meeting whoever whenever o/

I added you as a friend on facebook, don't think you've accepted it yet. I'll add you to the group when you accept

naww i deactivated fbk lol

If you like I can keep you updated on when we're meeting up. I just thought the discussion would be easier to have on facebook

Giant Leap Proposal:

1) Rent a 2 bed flat/ 3 bed house in a cheaper area like Woolwich (which is on the DLR also).
It's a very good value area so there's a good chance you'd get past the credit checks. Plus it's NOT a dump in the central bit with loads of fancy new-builds and a fair few restaurants and a couple of bars.
There's real character in the area too with the historic Royal Arsenal there which is v. impressive.

2) Post an ad describing your interests/personality/house rules/age range and gender of applicants etc.

3) Next comes the fun part - you get to interview the prospective candidates and choose your new friends! You'll get a few weirdo's but you can just tell amusing stories about them to the housemates you do choose! The University of Greenwich is nearby so you might find Masters/PhD students that fit the bill??

I know this all sounds like a HUGE responsibility for a 23 yr old, but seeming as you must have a bit of time on your hands you might be able to make it work safely if you do your research properly, like insisting on seeing recent payslips, asking for quarterly deposits in advance of Energy bills and finding half decent, customization template sub-letting contracts with proper contingency measures if there's a fall-out.

I know I'm being a bit OTT but this is the sort of thing I'd love to do if I had city job and credit rating.

Yours

Oh and I forgot to mention that Woolwich IS getting Crossrail after all so when the time comes you'll have super-quick commuting times to Canary Wharf/ Isle of Dogs.

Edited to add: I've just noticed you've made a load of Facebook friends already now so feel free to mock my mad-cap idea and not reading the recent bits of the thread!

No mocking to be done here, that's still a great idea! I think the thread has now kind of become a thing for people who are already in London though. For example I already have a 50 week accommodation contract so I'm stuck here but trying to meet new people in other ways

Currently I'm living near Limehouse
