This Room Rental With No Visible Door Has Everyone Seriously Confused

This Room Rental With No Visible Door Has Everyone Seriously Confused

Escape rooms are a really popular trend at the moment, but that doesn't necessarily mean anyone wants to live in one.

Apparently nobody has told that to the owner of this room rental listing in London, though.


The ad for this room for rent has gone viral, but it might be hard to see why at first. It's a small room with bare white walls and a desk.

There's not a lot of space to speak of, the room is so tight that the bed touches both walls and the leg of the desk digs into the mattress. Still, 572 pounds (about $750) is a pretty cheap rate to live in London.

But let's review the images, shall we?

Um ... guys ... Where's the door?

Whoever took the images had to stand on the bed to do so. We know that back wall has a window, the two side walls are solid, and the front wall has the wardrobe.

Soooo... how does one get in and out?

Based on the pictures, the room seems to be on at least the second floor so is there a ladder you're expected to climb?

A secret tunnel under the desk or bed? Do you go through the wardrobe? Is this bedroom in Narnia? What is happening?

Twitter needs to know...


The ideas were nearly endless, but they weren't all what we would call practical.













Shout out to this pun...


Eagle-eyed readers may have picked up on a clue—the wardrobe appears to be on wheels. That means it's mobile and likely blocking the door in these images.

So the already incredibly tiny room is actually even tinier than we had initially thought. Not only that, but the idea of having to roll your full closet around the room to get in or out is absolutely insane, impractical, unsafe and probably illegal.

And kind of impossible given the space. You'd literally have to put the desk on the bed or something!

At the very least, it was enough to get the listing removed from the rental site it was posted on. Representatives from the site did confirm that after reviewing the listing, it was deemed against their standards and subsequently deleted.

Matt Hutchinson, who is a director for the website SpareRoom where the ad was posted, had this to say:

"That's one tiny space and as soon as our moderators spotted it, it was removed. It took us a while to work out if there was even a way in."


Us too, Matt. Us too.

Conservative Tries To Claim Disney+ Show Is Somehow Satanic Due To Joke—And Gets Instantly Fact-Checked

It's the holidays again, which of course means the yearly tradition of Christians having a meltdown about supposedly being persecuted by the existence of non-Jesusy Christmas stuff is back with a vengeance.

But the latest flap online is really a doozy in its audacity both because it's incredibly dumb and also a lie, obviously posted as a purposeful attempt to get attention.

Massachusetts Catholic Church Angers Conservatives With Its Brutal ICE-Themed Nativity Scene

The Christian Bible teaches that the Holy Family—Joseph, Mary, and Jesus—were residents of the Herodian ruled Nazareth, Galilee. Having traveled back to Joseph's ancestral home—Roman ruled Bethlehem, Judea—for the census, Mary and Joseph, in modern American parlance, would have been homeless immigrants/tourists having an "anchor baby" at the time of Jesus' birth.

While Joseph considered Galilee his immediate family's home, the trio would eventually flee to Egypt as refugees to escape from King Herod.

Trump Ripped After Forcing National Parks To Drop Free Entry On MLK Day And Juneteenth For Infuriating Reason

President Donald Trump was criticized after the National Park Service announced it will be dropping Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth for next year's calendar of free-entry days and adding Trump's birthday, which happens to fall on Flag Day, on June 14.

Last month, the Department of the Interior unveiled changes to what it now calls its “resident-only patriotic fee-free days,” expanding the calendar to include new dates like the Fourth of July weekend and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, while dropping others that had honored the department itself, including the Bureau of Land Management’s anniversary.
