We stayed for two weeks at Leigh and Mary’s, the first and last weeks of our seven-week sojourn in the U.K. They are THE BEST hosts, kind, thoughtful, witty and very generous with their time.
We loved the spot because it was far enough outside the city to be quiet at night but close enough to get into London very easily. There are buses about a ten-minute walk away that will take you to Greenwich (be sure not to miss it) or Blackheath or the Thames Clipper. The train is about a 10-15 minute walk away and from there, you can go anywhere.
Leigh and Mary really know the city and its sights so listen to their suggestions for places to visit.
We feel we have made new friends which is one of the best reasons to find places to stay through AirBnB.
