For the special occasion of the Olympic Games, similar prices are on offer in the East End. I have therefore decided to sacrifice my own experience of this once in a lifetime event to make my own accommodation available.
My flat is on offer for the marvellous sum of £10,000pds pw.
But on top of this, I am prepared to make it available to any members of Accy Web at the discounted price of £7,500pds. (O.N.O.)
Sight unseen.
Cash up front.

Not a chance.
Wimbledon in leafy south west London, with it's many commons, fine shops, and genteel people, is rightly seen as a desirable location, and can therefore ask for high renumeration, for those wishing to stay there.
I have visited the areas you speak of, doing voluntary work in a mobile soup kitchen.
I always came away thinking that Jack the Ripper's victims had perhaps been the lucky ones.
Good luck in your quest to better your circumstances. Though I fear Boris Johnson has more chance of winning Olympic gold in gymnastics.
