Room for rent in central London

dennyMy flatmate has moved out, so I'm looking for a new flatmate to move into the second bedroom here. I'd prefer it to be a friend (or friend of friends, or other known quantity) for obvious reasons.
The room is about 9' x 11' - it currently contains a double bed and a large wardrobe, with space for a desk. There's a built-in cupboard in one corner. The room is painted a fairly inoffensive shade of orange, but if you want to redecorate it to suit yourself, I'm open to the possibility.
The bathroom is small but does have a deep bath with reasonable shower, and bonus funky black marble-pattern tiles. The kitchen is large, and contains a fridge-freezer, washing machine and dishwasher, all of which are new, and a gas hob and electric oven which are only a few years old. It also contains a small microwave, a vegetable steamer, a George Thornby grill, and any other food-cooking gadget I tripped over lately (not that I can cook, but I keep thinking the gadgets will fix this). The hallway is quite large for a flat, so there's some spillover storage space in there if you want it.
The flat is on the ground floor of the building, with no shared entrance hallway - the front door opens straight onto the outside world. It's double-glazed, partially centrally-heated, and it belongs to me - which means if something breaks, the landlord has plenty of motive to fix it as soon as possible :) There's a separate garage, which is mostly full of my car, but has room to stash a push-bike and other odds and ends if you want. Residents parking permits are cheap, but parking spaces can be hard to find sometimes.
The building is here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=N1+6LE - as you can see, it's a 5 minute walk from Old Street tube (or a 10 minute stroll, if you're lazy like me). Being in central London it's also well supplied with buses heading in all directions. It's a reasonably attractive building, with a good green space behind it and Shoreditch Park a short walk to the north.
I'm kink/poly/queer-friendly, and generally liberal/lefty/etc. There is a cat in residence. I don't smoke, and therefore the flat and the immediate surroundings are non-smoking areas. Most other vices are either well-tolerated or positively encouraged. :)
Rent is £600 a month, including all bills - that's gas, electric (both with Ecotricity, for bonus hippy points), water, council tax, phone line (including free national calls evenings and weekends), and 20Mb ADSL (from Be). Room is available from March 1st.
