We had a great week long stay at Anthony's place. He was a wonderful host, his place is very nice and very comfortable. Took uber to central London each day for about £8 ... For us was just easier and less time consuming than the train or bus. Convenience stores down the street, one that has a post office inside for mailing off postcards! A REALLY fun looking thrift store down the street that stores are on (just around corner) ..we passed it on way to central London but sadly, never had a chance to stop there!
