Holidaymakers looking for somewhere to stay in London are being invited to avail themselves of this tent in someone's back garden.

The holiday let, advertised on Airbnb, is described as a "large tent in quiet leafy zone two London garden."

It boasts "a fruit bearing apple tree", use of a rusting barbecue, and free bike rental included in the £10 per night price.

The ownder of the tent, in Newham, does allow visitors the use of his kitchen and bathroom.

There is also a hammock.

The landlord offers a 20 per cent discount on long stays, meaning a month's rent would cost £419 - for either one person or two.

One customer has left a review of the tent

The advert says: "My place is good for couples, solo adventurers and birdwatchers.

"Enjoy the cool quiet of a leafy London back garden, complete with fruit bearing apple tree & barbecue.

"Full access to kitchen and bathroom in-house is included.

"There is a hammock in the garden you can lie in & watch the wind gently ruffling the tree leaves, a very soothing experience.

"You may also enjoy a visit from our local neighbourhood fox. You'll sleep well in the fresh air.

"Free bike loan included. Breakfast on request."

A pair of Japanese tourists who stayed in the tent for a week have left a review, saying it was a "little bit small" - but did come with a mattress.

Mutsumi wrote: "We stayed for one week. There was just tent and mattress.

"Tent was little bit small for 2 people. But, people who lived there were good people. For the person who is used to the outdoor, it is recommended."
