City worker ditches high London rents in favour of living in his van
Alex Hill, 24, says he saves up to £1,000 a month parking his blue van on side roads where he sleeps
A young professional reckons he has found a solution to the housing crisis - by permanently living in his van.
Alex Hill, 24, claims he saves up to £1,000 a month parking his blue van on side roads where he sleeps.
The only downside is that there is no running water, so Alex has to try his best not to drink any water after 7pm - so he doesn't need to go to the toilet. Alex, who never intended to live in a van, now swears by his new lifestyle. Speaking to student newspaper The Tab, he said: "I was planning to cycle around Europe for a few months last summer and had already handed in the notice for my flat. "The plan was to stay with friends until I got another flat, but I decided to try out living in my car for a few weeks and showering at work."
