Maths teacher Naomi Bell, 28, is delighted with her flat which she shares with her husband Nathan.
Local teachers who feared high housing costs would force them out of London have moved into new rooftop flats thanks to help from Hammersmith & Fulham Council.
The dozen flats were built as part of repairs to Edward Woods Estate in Shepherds Bush.
Science teacher Lois Hale has now moved into one of the two-bed flats built above Norland House, Stebbing House and Poynter House, and let out at social rent.
The 28-year-old, who teaches at Phoenix High School in White City used to live in a studio flat in north London.
“This flat is so much better. It’s lovely,” said Lois who lives with her partner Oliver Hopkins, also 28.
“I’m expecting a baby now and the extra space has made that possible. We thought we would have to leave London to start a family but we don’t have to now. We have the space we need. It’s great.
“I used to cycle an hour each way to get to school, now I can walk in less than half an hour. It’s made a massive difference.”
Maths teacher Naomi Bell, 28, is equally delighted with her flat which she shares with her husband Nathan.
“It’s a lot bigger and has an amazing view and location.” she said.
“We were in a studio flat in north Acton before. We really enjoy living in the new flat and are really grateful.”
Cllr Lisa Homan, H&F Cabinet Member for Housing, said: “Our schools depend on having fantastic teachers that give our children the best possible start in life.”
“The London housing crisis is making it increasingly difficult for many teachers to work in the borough, so we wanted to take this first step towards addressing that.”
