Well hello there, come in
Hello there! This is my friend Will Carne 
Will: Hello
I'd like to introduce you to him and also his
apartment today so that you can see what
another apartment in London looks like.
So let's dive right in!
As you walk into my apartment the first thing you're
probably going to notice is this, it's a
replica Friends frame. I got it from
Etsy for my flatmate for her birthday
and we love it, everyone let's take
pictures with it it's like a little
photo opp, and you've got to imagine it's
here but it's currently down here, this
is my pride and joy. This is my authentic
Jubilee Line tube sign from Bond Street
Station. I did buy it
I didn't just rip off the wall but it's
waiting to go on this wall. It was very
expensive that's all, it's SO COOL
This is my kitchen, welcome. This is where I
cook many microwave meals
The main features that you need to know
and this is what I'd recommend
I can now not live in a flat without one,
a dishwasher.
Eleana: Yeah most London apartments
do not come with one
They don't, I mean when we
were like looking at apartments I
open this and saw there was a dishwasher
and I was immediately not going to go
anywhere else and we also have a wine
rack which we have filled with squash
because we're actually children
Balconies! This is our wonderful garden,
as you can see I can practically it's
like arm width, that's official
dimensions. We're just going into spring
when we're filming this so we haven't
got any flowers yet but it's going to look
really nice
Eleana: And it's got little lights!
Will: Yeah it's real pretty
Eleana: Can you sit? How many people can you fit?
You can pretty much fit one person lying
down, you might be able to fit a little table
Eleana: Lying down?!
Will: You know what I mean, lounging.
I wanted to get a massive bean bag to
put on this so that you could just like
it take up the whole balcony and you
just like to lounge on it but then when
you- when it's not on the balcony there's
nowhere to put it.
Eleana: So how did you find this apartment?
so we found this by looking online we
looked at so many different flats all
around the like south of London and we
finally came across this one on like one
of the online sites RightMove and we
came to visit it and then yeah decided we
loved it maybe like 10 we looked at
Eleana: How many places do you think you looked at before you found this one?
Will: Maybe like 10? We looked at
quite a few so this is our third flat
since we moved to London so we're quite
used to like the way London flats work
it's very intense and like they go in
like one day so we kind of signed up with
loads of estate agents and looked all
around and then eventually we got this
one. The key is to like not quit too
soon, wait until you find one that you
absolutely love and then quickly nab it
TOP TIP!
Welcome to my living room
this is where I live
this is actually the second bedroom but
top tip if you spend most your time in
your bedroom which people do in London
the living room is always bigger so I
decided to switch my bedroom into the
living room and then this second bedroom
became like a tiny little cinema space
so it's really cozy but there's still
enough space to kind of have everyone
sit around. We have a TV, we have a tree, we
got this tree at Christmas and we
thought it looked so cool we're going to
keep it up until the clocks change
Eleana: So what do you do on the regular day?
Will: So I am currently a film student I also
worked freelance as a videographer
sometimes and I produce films so I
mainly can work from a laptop
Eleana: And how much is this apartment per month?
Will: So this apartment is £1,250 GBP per month and
it's got two people living here so it's
£625 GBP each, that's not including bills
Eleana: And that's actually not typical for this area is it because the average 2-bed apartment
seems to be £1,400 GBP, so it's quite a good deal!
Will: It is! It was really cheap, we
basically, us and the landlord, got on
really well when we came to view the
property and so they kind of gave us a
really good deal so be a nice person
and you'll get a good deal but yeah most
flats are a little bit more expensive
Eleana: And what about the decor here 
because it looks pretty cool
but we're noticing some interesting pieces
Will: Yes, so actually when we came to the
apartment it was really nicely decked
out, the landlord I think used to live
here so it like had really nice white
walls which is nice because so often you
walk into an apartment is beige but yeah
we've slowly added lots of little
features. We bought this sofa which is
probably the most adult thing I've ever
bought an actual sofa and we've slowly
added little touches like this little
filing cabinet which we keep our like
DVDs in and the Cogsworth and Lumiere my
mum got me for my birthday and they just
look really nice, and this is because
we got flowers a few days ago and we
don't own vases
so we've stuck it in a teapot because we
are British
Eleana: Artistic!
Will: It is
Eleana: Did this apartment come unfurnished or furnished?
Will: It came unfurnished yeah so everything
in here is ours and it's all stuff that
we've gathered slowly, as I say we've
lived in London for about four years and
everything has come from different bits
like this is my mum's that she was
getting rid of her sofa so we nabbed it
and then she like knitted this cover for
us it's really cute, this is like our Gran's
that she was getting rid of, that's our Aunt's
like we just have family heirlooms of
stuff they were gonna throw away, and over
here is where we keep our programmes, so we
see a lot of theatre as you can see and
we've got in this weird little habit of
keeping the programmes of every show we go
to see and adding them on the pile
so our guests can read through them
No one's ever done that. This is my favourite
one; programme-wise, the show was just okay
Let's go to the bathroom which is next
which is all the way through here. As we
go past look at this. This is space-saving at
its finest: a door shoe rack
Genius. Would recommend it.
£10, not spon [sponsored]
This is the bathroom, we have a tree
Oh this, this is cool, this is like
a nice feature. So these look like tiles
but they're not, it's actually a picture
behind like a sheet of glass and so it's
made to look like really fancy tiles, you
can just wipe it clean
This is literally a picture, it's
actually the same in the kitchen if you
cut back to the tiles in the kitchen
they're also this. Heated towel rail as
well, the features here are just amazing.
So now on to my flatmate's room which is
this one. So she has a second biggest bedroom
Eleana: So this would have been the master bedroom?
Will: Yeah, so this would have been the master bedroom
That's why it's at the back
She wanted this one because it's a bit
quieter because she used to be on night
shifts and there's a busy road at the front
Eleana: So how did you find your roommate? Because that can be a struggle in London
Will: It was actually really hard, so I
was born and she was there. No, she's my
sister and so yeah when I finished my
first degree she was looking for a place
in London as well so we're like let's
okay let's move in with each other
we're siblings and yeah we actually
really got on really well
Eleana: Shall we go and see your room / the living room?
Will: Yes let's, come on through
Da daaaa, so this is my room
as you can see there's lots of yellow
I used to film a lot in here so that's why
especially this but it looks like a bit
of a film set I think because it was
designed
to be so
Eleana: So this used to be the living room, did you have to do anything to turn it into a bedroom?
Will: Not really no, the only thing is it has the internet in
here, that's the only thing that's
different otherwise no we just whacked a
bed in it, boom
Eleana: So as a film student I imagine
you've got quite a lot of equipment and
stuff so how does that work because it doesn't even look like you've got an awful lot in here
Will: Yes so I really- I used to have a really 
messy room with
no storage and I've slowly tried to find
ways to be able to like store stuff so
everything's hidden away so that I don't
have to look at it all the time but this
is my camera cupboard and it's currently
half empty cuz as elsewhere but this is
where I keep all of my equipment that I
can grab things
Eleana: But not clothes?
Will: Clothes are in here
See? Wonderful. And also Top Tip - gotta make
that a thing, I'm expecting a graphic
Space-saving in London, everyone should
have an ottoman bed, that's where you
can put all of your things that you
don't want to show. There's like a proper
yellow theme as I say going on. Slowly
added stuff over the years, the one thing
I want to get to finish it off is I
really want to separate the like bed
and working area so I want to get like a
little net curtain to put down here so it kind
of makes it a little bed section, and
then this is where I sit and work and
edit and do most my work, and then when
I'm tired I come and lounge here on my
chaise longue, this is the other adult
purchase I made and I absolutely love it
would recommend for a bedroom, like a
mini sofa. Another feature is this, now I
am so unorganized
I always walk out the door
and forget the essentials so I've made
this like a little setup for my wallet
my Oyster card and my keys and when I get
home I'm supposed to remember to put them there
so when I walk out the door I could just
grab and go. Top Tip! Organization
Eleana: That's actually amazing
Will: I know right
Eleana: So what's this on your screen right now?
Will: So this is my film 'Dear Will Carne'
I've been working on for two years and
it finally comes out and it is out right now
Eleana: And it features beautiful scenes of London like this, would highly recommend
Will: Subscription alert from Norton not included
Eleana: So that was a tour of Will Carne's
apartment, thanks so much for taking us along
Will: You're welcome
Eleana: And hopefully found out some interesting information there as well as being a little bit nosy like
I am, I really particularly love his apartment
and I kind of want to steal it
whenever you move out just let me know
Will: I wanna steal yours, let's swap
Eleana: We'll just swap. So if
you'd like to see more apartment tours
let me know by giving me a like or
commenting or something so though I know
that this is something that I should
continued doing, I will see you very soon
Goodbye!
