Wedged between a doctor's office and a hairdressing salon, just a streak of dark blue paint marks London's thinnest home.
But the five-storey house in Shepherd's Bush, which at its narrowest point is just 5ft 6ins (1.6 metres), and is currently on the market for $1.3 million.
Sometime in the late 19th or early 20th century, the unusual estate, originally a Victorian hat shop with storage for merchandise and living quarters on its upper floors, was constructed.
The house still has an old-fashioned glass shopfront in a nod to its past, with a lamp in the form of a bowler hat.
David Myers, an assistant sales manager at Winkworth estate agents which is selling the property, said the house was worth its price tag because it's "a unique part of London history."

"It's a bit of London magic," he told AFP.?The house's measurements vary throughout.
Although the kitchen is the narrowest place of the house at the end of the lower ground floor, it opens up into a dining room that is almost twice the size.
Beyond the French windows is a 16-foot-wide garden.?The ground floor, which now contains a reception where the old shop would have been located, is similar in size to the first floor.
The first floor, where you can find a bedroom and study, also has a roof terrace with commanding views of West London's roofs and chimney pots.

Spiral stairs lead from the second floor to the master bedroom on the third floor—the location of the bathroom and shower room.?A hatch that opens through the floor to save space is accessed and the bed, which is built in, takes up an entire end of the room on either side, fitted into the walls.
Myers said the house was for a "young couple or an individual" who "sees the beauty for what it is and will snap it up".
"The house would appeal to buyers who were "arty" or "bohemian" with what the London estate agent described as "unique" period features mixed with art deco and other eclectic interior designs.
