Where does Winston Smith live?

lives
in a dilapidated, old apartment building known as Victory Mansions.
Victory Mansions is a dingy, disgusting building in need of major renovations. At the beginning
of the novel,describes Winston's apartment complex and flat. Throughout the halls of Victory
Mansions, there is an overpowering smell of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. Winston is also
forced to walk past giant posters of Big Brother hanging from the walls on the way to his
seventh-floor apartment. Inside Winston's tiny apartment, there is a telescreen hanging on the
right side of the wall. Unlike the setup of most apartments, the telescreen is not located at
the end of the wall, where it has command of the entire room. There is also a shallow alcove
next to the telescreen, where Winston writes in his diary without being seen. Later on in the
novel, Winston begins to rent a small room above Mr. Charrington's antique shop. There is a bed,
stove, and an antique chair in the room, as well as a hidden telescreen disguised as an old
painting.
