I pay £16 to live in London…people want to know my secret but living with 10 people is only half of it
LONDON is one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in, with rental prices rapidly increasing every year.
So it may surprise you to hear that one woman pays just £16 to live in the UK’s capital city.
Assia Riad took to TikTok and explained how she’s forever being asked how she pays just £16 a night for rent in London.
Revealing all, she begins: “The answer to that is actually quite simple…I live in a dump, and I share with 10 other people in East London.”
In a second clip, she can be seen giving her intrigued social media followers a tour of the property.
Sharing a clip of the small hallway area, she explains that there are three bedrooms squeezed at the end.

“We don’t have a living room,” she continues. “That’s been converted into two separate bedrooms already. Downstairs there’s a bedroom as well.”
She then shares a glimpse of the very dated-looking kitchen and explains: ‘It’s really small and really dark.”

“We only have two fridges for ten people.”
The kitchen’s a bit of a mess but I think it’s a good representation of what it usually looks likes.”

Assia adds: “This is also a bathroom which is bit weird because it’s right next to the kitchen area.”
She then posted a third video which shows the rest of the bedrooms, including her own – and many of her social media followers had a lot to say on the house tour.
“My rent is inclusive of all bills and is *so* cheap but I also share with 9 other people so like…cons,” commented one.
“I pay 20 a day but it’s actually quite nice just a little far from central,” a second commented.

A third penned: “I used to pay £7.70 a day in East London in 1998! Own room with a sink.”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “I lived in east London for 13 quid a night, it’s wild.”
