Hi — I'm Rachael, returning to London after nearly a decade living and working in New York. I'm looking for a sublet in Islington or Hackney, ideally for 3 months but I am entirely flexible, as I settle back into London.

I worked in finance in New York and am taking a considered pause before my next move — so my days are structured and purposeful rather than chaotic. I'm quiet, tidy, respectful of shared spaces, and genuinely looking for somewhere to feel at home while I get my London legs back.

Almost all of my closest friends live in Islington and Hackney, which is exactly why I'm seeking a space in this area. I'm coming back to be near my people, not just passing through.

I'm looking for a one or two bedroom space, ideally with light, good wifi, and washer/dryer. I don't smoke, have no pets, and would be an easy, communicative tenant. Happy to provide references. Would love to hear from you if this sounds like a good fit.

I'm also open to longer term tenancy takeovers - especially if they are in & around De Beauvoir - my dream location :)

About This Lister

I'm originally from just outside London, and am so excited to return back to the city.

I'm active and love running along the canals down to Vicky park. I'm gearing up to train for Rome half marathon...

I also love to cook for others, go and see live music as well as travel.
