One-bed flats in London - good idea?

I’m a single gal in my early 30s, got an offer accepted on a one-bed flat. Excellent location (on a tube line) & very affordable. Not shared ownership, not a new build. It is leasehold but not wildly expensive - average.

I keep seeing articles of people advising against buying a one-bed flat. And it makes me feel so uneasy, but I don’t want to have to live in a shared flat for another couple of years to be able to afford something bigger, or wait to settle down with a partner. And I’m not from the UK, so moving outside London isn’t an option (although those Victorian flats in Glasgow/Edinburgh are calling my name - but I know no one there!)

Can anyone relate? I’d love to hear some positive stories from owners of one beds please?! Thanks in advance :)
