That's more than 2 lakh rupees, actually,” she replied.When asked about the size of her apartment, she revealed that the studio measures just 215 sq ft.“215 sq ft. It's small, and the rent is high, I know.”She then invited Kothari inside and gave him a quick tour of the compact apartment.Everything Fits Into One Small StudioThe woman explained that the building operates partly as a hotel but also offers apartments for young professionals.Pointing out the different sections of her home, she said, “This is my kitchen. This is a small, compact kitchen, and I make all my dishes over here. This is a studio. It's just, like, everything is together. This is my kitchen, this is my living room, and here is my bedroom.”‘I Shouldn't Be Able To Afford This’The woman, who works in renewable energy trading, also acknowledged that the rent is higher than what she ideally should be spending.“To be honest, I shouldn't be able to afford this. I pay a bit extra than what I should,” she said.Despite the financial strain, she said she prefers staying in London because of the independence and exposure the city provides.Why She Chose London Over India“I could, but I like the independence of staying here. Wanted to come to London for, like, exposure and meet, like, people from different countries. But Indians are kind of, like, like a comfort zone for me,” she said.Does the Studio Justify the ₹2 Lakh Rent?While the woman admitted that the studio itself may not be worth the hefty rent, she believes the additional facilities available within the building make the overall cost more worthwhile.“I would say this studio specifically is not, but, like, with the building and the services that come with it, it is. Movie room, Pilates studio, a gym, cookhouse, a terrace. So, we have a lot of amenities, that's why I'm paying that much,” she explained.The building's amenities, including a movie room, Pilates studio, gym, cookhouse and terrace, are therefore a major part of what she is paying for.Internet Reacts to London RentThe video was shared with the caption, “Rent in London.” It quickly drew reactions from social media users, many of whom were surprised by the cost of renting such a small apartment.One user commented, “London rent is on another level.”Another wrote, “More than ₹2 lakh for a studio is crazy.”Disclaimer: This article is based on a user-generated post on Instagram.
