Lulu's place is a great base for any solo traveler looking to get a sense of off-the-tourist-path London, yet be close to transportation into the heart of the city (30-40 mins to get anywhere in the center). There's a Starbucks a minute away, great breakfast eateries around, and Clapham Common park is a terrific place to go for a run. The neighborhood is very safe, yet hip. Great value for money, lovely room and friendly host.
