Given the density of houses in big cosmopolitan cities, not many have big gardens and, instead, have allotments, which are small areas in the suburbs where you can grow fruits and vegetables. Many communities may group together to create a local allotment and some councils may offer them to local residents. For houses that do offer garden space, an outdoor office has become increasingly popular off the back of needing to work from home. This is often in the form of a converted garden shed or garage.
British houses are some of the oldest in Europe and, despite the picturesque view on the outside, they often fall victim to damp and mould on the inside due to outdated heating systems and lack of insulation.
