A London letting agent has unveiled a studio flat with what the brochure describes as a substantial conceptual garden. The property has no outdoor space, but tenants are encouraged to picture some while standing near the extractor fan.
The listing calls the flat "generously considered" and says its compact proportions allow residents to enjoy the kitchen, bedroom and existential crisis without the inconvenience of moving. A photograph taken from inside a cupboard suggests there may also be a west wing.
Prospective tenant Oliver Finch asked whether the rent included bills. The agent explained that it included the privilege of receiving them. A separate lifestyle charge covers the neighbourhood, while a modest monthly premium secures continued permission to refer to the address as London.
The conceptual garden may not be sublet, used for imagined barbecues or shared with an imaginary pet without written consent. Finch remains interested, having calculated that the alternative is commuting from a place estate agents have recently started calling Greater Belgium. The agent has advised him to move quickly: another applicant has already imagined a conservatory.
