Default TV in Bedroom, advice needed.

I want to put a TV (for Freeview) into a bedroom that has no aerial socket.
Normally I would have run a cable into the bedroom from the aerial outside, but I live in a top floor rented apartment now and can't do it that way.

So, how can it be done?
Can it be done with some sort of wireless device?
If so what do you recommend?
It must be for Freeview and not Freesat so that my son can watch old Top Gear episodes on Dave.

I can't make any recommendations, but did you put "wood" in there deliberately?

I have no wood, I would if I could though.

If I remember or correctly from when I was looking at doing this, you can get wireless senders that sends your downstairs sky, DVD, free view, etc to another room.
AEI DG180 Wireless Video Sender: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics AEI DG180 Wireless Video Sender: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
Like the units above. Hope that helps.

passive freeview flat square aerial seems to do a reasonable job at work (9th floor)

I use a cheap, small, indoor aerial for freeview, on the tv in my bedroom.

That's worth a try, living on the top floor, I just might get a good signal.
If not then it looks like one of the other options.

Thanks for your replies folks, any other suggestions to consider?

No, no access to roof space, it's in the corridor outside the flat door, but locked.
