A tiny flat described as a 'rabbit hutch' has been taken off the market by the local council.

The studio flat in Kember Street in King's Cross went on the rental market for £737 a month. It crams in a bed, wardrobe, cooker and table. There's barely any floor space left to walk around.

But Islington Council were less than impressed, and slapped the owner with a prohibition order:

Speaking to the Guardian, Islington Borough Council's Housing Chief Councillor James Murray said:

The problem is that people are getting squeezed by high private rent prices and the lack of affordable housing, so you get landlords who are in a position to exploit people.

The flat was boldly marketed as a 'studio apartment', but James Murray said he couldn't even open the door of the cupboard under the sink because the bed was in the way.

Landlord, Andrew Panayi insisted the photograph "didn't do justice" to the flat.

The property does have planning. It's been checked several times by the environmental health and the planning department. We have not subdivided units.
