I wonder if that's the property mentioned at the bottom of this article:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-29049415

"In May, planning inspectors ruled that a 6ft (1.8m) wide house in Leyton, east London should be returned to its original use as a garage.The two-storey building, between terraced houses, was branded "singularly out of place" and "wholly unsatisfactory" by a planning inspector."

No. it's the one I posted is not in Leyton, as the Google link tells you it's in Exmouth Road London E17 - Walthamstow. I've passed it many times locally.
Since it's been there for years now and not featured in the papers etc , I can only imagine the council are actually satisfied it's not actually used as a house and maybe is some kind of workshop space with a fancy frontage?
Edited to add : In fact a Google suggests it is the business address of this furniture designer:
http://startupdesign.co.uk/


though Leyton is also the London borough of Waltham Forest a couple of miles or so away.

This was the one in Leyton
Reverted back to a garage years ago

Built before spirit levels were invented looking at the floor plan.
Looks they might have a problem with damp too.

There's a few entertaining YT channels which showcase creative use of tiny spaces such as 'NEVER TOO SMALL' and 'Living Big in a Tiny House'.

This 33sqm home in Hong Kong is one of my favourites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDIV1UGzlzs

My son lives in HK. Fortunately he earns enough to pay for a decent (and I use that word advisedly) living space.
