So, what do you want, heat or the old place?
BTW - one place in London I stayed had a opening in the wall, covered by a grate. Not too large, but it was cooooooooooooooold.
Another place had no running water. I would draw the water and put it outside on the window ledge so I could have cold water to brush my teeth with.
Aah, the good old days in Buckingham Palace.
