The location is perfect for getting anywhere in London since the bus stop to is literally around the corner which takes you to Victoria Station which gets you in the Gatwick Express - if you adding a short excursion to Brighton by the sea the quick access to Victoria Victoria bus is a dream. You can even purchase an Oyster public transport card at a local shop for 5 pounds and top it up. You are a quick bys ride or walk from Oval underground station, which can smoothly give you access to everywhere from Central London's sites to Kew Gardens in the West to Kings Cross and St Pancrass British Rail stations opening up trips to Paris via Eurostar rail or the north of England and Scotland. Apartment is lovely, flat lines, compact and spotless - it's huge plus in the summer is air conditioning - after a long day touring it's lovely to have a shower a cool climate to relax in. Round the corner is a full grocery store with fresh bread and pastries and wine And beer. If you want real London chips - and who doesn't? - order some at the local kebab shop. This is the perfect spot to stay somewhere with all the modern conveniences, a great host, see everything and yet have a toe in an authentic London neighborhood. Highly recommend!!
