Ever wanted to live the camping lifestyle without the inconvenience of that silly tent and pesky nature? Well now's your chance as a 7-square-metre flat goes on the market in London.

In all, the flat is a little over half the size of an average parking spot, or about the size of a compact four-person tent.There's no need for a curtain when the entire bathroom is the size of a standard shower cubicle.

The real estate listing focuses on the location of the flat — within walking distance of plenty of trendy cafes, bars, restaurants and shops.However, a potential resident commuting to and from a demanding corporate job will have to catch an overground train more than a 10-minute walk away before changing to the Tube to get into central London.

Julia Rugg, a research fellow at York University’s Centre for Housing Policy, told The Guardian the Clapton sale reflected the "inflated nature of the housing market in London" and said it would be a "worrying development" if microflats were seen as a solution to housing affordability.
