Attic apartment in a substantial Victorian dwelling situated in a quiet and leafy, gated, private estate.
Access to the apartment is through the tradesman’s (servants?) entrance with stairs that are narrow and steep. Once you have negotiated these you are afforded a great view to the City and it's hard to believe you are less than 10 miles from the centre of London. South Harrow (Piccadilly line) was a pleasant 15-minute stroll with Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan Line) around 35 mins. Travelling time to London sights from 35-60 mins.
The apartment is bigger than expected and although there are several sloped areas the rooms are of a good size with plenty of light and space. There's a few creaks and groans from this old house, particularly in poor weather, although this is not reflected in the apartment facilities which are modern and well-maintained.
The Wi-Fi worked well and a full SKY system was provided (appreciated by our children).
A convenient and restful base to explore London's attractions
