Weird and Wonderful Alternative Homes in London

Looking to move to London and want something a little different? Why settle for the norm when living in the country's capital? There are many flats to rent in London, but not so many quite like these four.

Perhaps you'd be interested in living in this 134 feet long riveted steel lightship? Which can be found in London Docks. From the outside you wouldn't expect this old ship was a converted home inside. The interior is stripped back and rough, almost having the look of a filmset.

Then of course there's London's famous Container City, a collection of buildings created from re-used shipping containers. If you've looking for property for sale in London then maybe a container is the right option for you! They can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes built to fit you.

How about The Thin House located in Thurloe Square, Knightsbridge?!

Or perhaps London's smallest house, located in 10 Hyde Park Place, Marble Arch. Squeezed between two others, this property was thought to have been built to block a right of way to St George's graveyard to deter grave robbers.

So go ahead and look up some estate agents London and start thinking outside the box! Ok so maybe you won't move into a converted ship, but there's got to be more out there than the standard 4 walls.
