• The eight square metre room is opposite Harrods and boasts a filthy mattress and a small tap at foot of bed
• It has an ‘open plan’ kitchen consisting of a sink, a tiny hob and a microwave tucked away in one corner

A miniscule flat opposite Harrods that is smaller than the average UK parking space is available to rent for £1,278 a month.

The eight square metre room appears to have a stained mattress and a small tap barely visible at the foot of the bed.

A UK parking space is usually 11.5 square metres.

And the ‘open plan’ kitchen consists of a sink, a tiny hob and a microwave tucked in one corner.

Estate agents Kubie Gold Associates describe the flat as an ‘ideal pied á terre’ – meaning a small living unit not used as your main home.

Princes Court is a plush apartment building directly opposite Harrods in Knightsbridge.

A large mirror fixed below a thin row of windows even captures the photographer leaning back to try to capture more of the room.

There is also storage space above the bed and kitchen, and what appears to be a built in wardrobe.

Kubie Gold described the tiny flat as a: ‘Newly decorated eight square metre studio apartment in private portered block, small open plan kitchenette, bathroom with step in shower cubicle.

‘Set on the 4th floor with a lift, the property benefits from a 24-hour concierge, includes hot water situated opposite famous Harrods shopping emporium, close to Knightsbridge Tube Station.

‘The apartment would make an ideal pied de terre in a very central location, available immediately.’

The room also includes hot water and a power shower.
