A STUNNING 15-bed mansion in the heart of London has gone on the market for just £9 a month – but there’s a very big catch.
The property in Westminster boasts an astonishing amount of space in one of the capital’s most affluent postcodes.

And whoever moves in will automatically be assigned one of the UK’s most important jobs.
But would-be tenants will have to compete with top politicians for a chance to move in.
That’s because the ad is a well-timed hoax for the PM’s home in Downing Street.
It was posted on Rightmove moments after Boris Johnson announced he will quit as Prime Minister following one of the biggest rebellions in British political history.
The tongue-in-cheek ad offers a “large social house” which is “perfect for parties and work gatherings”.
The jab comes after Mr Johnson apologised to Brits for Partygate earlier this year.
The house is complete with a resident cat, Larry, as well as “on-site security”.
Pranksters write: “The rental price sits comfortably with the country deficit and will give you all you need.

“Do not worry if not working at present, job available with the property.
“Many responsibilities but no experience or training has ever been necessary.”
The home lies in a “beautiful area” and boasts “office space perfect for romantic visits”, the ad continues.
Shots of the property’s interior are included, although there are no up-to-date images following Carrie Johnson’s renovation.
Mr Johnson has been accused of taking a £58,000 Tory Party loan to pay for the swanky refurbishment and falling to declare it.
MOVING IN
He later settled the full amount himself.
The couple moved into No11 in 2019. The house is significantly bigger than its neighbour, No10.
In the three years since, they’ve wed and had two children – Wilf and Romy.
Romy joined her mum today as the PM told the nation he will stand down as soon as a new leader has been appointed.
In a speech, Mr Johnson admitted he was “sad” to be forced out of the job he loves but conceded: “Them’s the breaks.”
TOP JOB
And the politician said it had been an “immense privilege” to serve in the “best job in the world” but admitted that “no one is remotely indispensable”.
He has been teetering on a knife-edge for days after his own party staged a coup.
However, today he bowed to the inevitable.
“The reason I have fought so hard in the past two days to continue to deliver our mandate in person is not just because I wanted to do so, but because I felt it was my job, duty, and obligation to you,” he told voters.
“I’ve tried to persuade my colleagues that it was eccentric to change governments when we’re delivering so much.”
He admitted the rebellion has been “painful”.
“I regret not to be successful in my argument. It is painful not to be able to see through so many ideas and projects myself,” he said.
