Teeny-weeny London space priced at princely $335,000

LONDON – Almost anywhere else, the tiny dilapidated studio wouldn’t attract much more than mice. But this is London and the 77-square-foot former storage room – slightly bigger than a prison cell and without electricity – is going for $335,000.

The space in the exclusive Knightsbridge neighborhood may be only “about the size of a ship’s galley, said real estate agent Andrew Scott, who’s handling the sale. “But it’s permanently anchored to one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the world.”

At more than $4,340 a square foot, the spot is within walking distance of tony stores like Harrods and London’s iconic Hyde Park.

A coffin-size shower is en suite, and storage is provided by a shallow closet and 10-inch-deep shelves cut into the wall. Two hot plates and a small sink make up the kitchen. Two dirty windows allow light to filter into the basement room.

With no electricity or heating, Scott said, it would cost an additional $59,000 to make the room habitable.

“If you thought of this as the cabin on a boat, you’d say, ‘It’s pretty spacious,’ ” Scott said.
