With just enough room for a single bed and a minuscule kitchen concealed behind a mirror, one might expect this tiny flat to come with a reasonable rent.

But this cramped apartment - believed to be Britain's smallest - is located on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, London, with Harrods on the other side of the road.

The tiny pad has just 72 sq/ft of space - which is around a twelfth of the size of the average new home in England - and is available to rent for £895 per week.

There is just about enough space for a single bed and there is a separate, very narrow room which houses the shower and toilet.

Entertainment comes courtesy of a TV mounted on the wall.

The flat is in Princes Court, a portered mansion block regarded as one of central London's most desirable places to live. A three-bed flat in the block will cost £2.5 million.

It is believed the studio apartment is the smallest property on the rental market - but it is far from being the most affordable.

The landlord is asking for £895 per week, which works out at £3,878 per month or £46,540 per year. This is two-and-a-half times the average price it costs to rent in London

Letting agents Harrods Estate said the 'clever design' of the Knightsbridge flat (which has a plush marble tiled lobby) means it has everything a person could want

The landlord is asking for £895 per week, which works out at £3,878 per month or £46,540 per year.

This is two-and-a-half times the average price it costs to rent in London and the same as a seven-bedroom Grade I Listed country home in Somerset which was once owned by Henry VIII.

Letting agents Harrods Estate said the 'clever design' of the Knightsbridge flat means it has everything a person could want.

Ed Woolgar, lettings director at Harrods Estates, said: 'This delightful apartment is situated in the heart of London's most desirable address, a short walk to Harrods and Hyde Park.

'Its compact but clever design means that the tenant has everything they need including a hidden kitchen, complete with fridge, microwave, hob and sink, along with a bathroom with shower, basin and WC.

'There is enough space for a single bed and the TV is perfectly positioned for relaxing evenings in.'
