One of London's narrowest homes, at just seven feet wide, is on sale for £1.19 million on Peel Street.
Built around 1930, the property was originally on a narrow strip of land that once connected the road to a now-demolished building behind.
According to the listing by estate agents, Unique Property Company London Ltd, the house underwent refurbishment in the 1950s and has been under its current ownership for about ten years.
Despite its compact footprint, the home is described as having "an awful lot to unpack," with each floor designed to maximise space.
