More about www.spareroom.co.uk
SPAREROOM was launched as a national version of intoLondon.com, the first flatshare site in London. Created in 1999, the site was inspired by the creator's struggle to find accommodation when moving to London. Since then the SPAREROOM network has grown from strength to strength and in 2004 started the much talked about phenomenon of SPEED FLATMATING - a new way to find flatmates based on the speed dating concept. SPAREROOM continues to innovate with some exciting new services on the horizon to help you find your new flatmates... watch this space!
