Beer on demand, parties every weekend and an on-site sauna: Seven months after London's first 'luxury commune'

My new retirement home...

A £1,200-a-month luxury London commune with a burgeoning reputation as Britain's most glamorous halls of residence for young professionals is full after seven months and its oldest resident appears to be just 44. Residents in the 550-room 11-storey tower in Willesden, share a 'twodio' - a 100sq ft private room and bathroom with a kitchen split between two people.

In return they get no bills, a cleaner, linen changes, and access to a roof-top terrace, library, games room, spa, sauna, cinema and a weekly drinks party in its bar.
Staff are summoned to do jobs like changing lightbulbs by text with some residents admitting that all you need is 'toilet roll and some food', although you could also use one of its several fashionable restaurants to eat. The scheme from the housing company, The Collective, is billed as 'the world's largest co-living scheme' and has seen professionals moving into rooms similar to university student halls.

But some of its older residents have admitted they worried they might not fit in because they are in their thirties. And with a large number of people from foreign countries living there, some fear Brexit could also shatter the multi-cultural community when EU freedom of movement ends.
