Beds in sheds

"Beds in sheds" refers to substandard and usually illegal housing in the United Kingdom, particularly in Greater London.[1][2] It is characterised by garden sheds being converted into living accommodation for private rent.

Following the prevalence of "beds in sheds", Newham Council introduced compulsory licensing for residential landlords.[3]
