Lovely place to stay - we stayed for two weeks! Very Gracious host, large room with desk, wardrobe, drawers, own ensuite. Own kitchenette connects to the conservatory with lovely view of the garden and birds, squirrels. Hadn't been to Sydenham before but it's leafy and safe, with high st with nice butcher and fruit shop, cafe, restaurants as well at tesco, etc. Sydenham train direct to London Bridge or short walk to Penge East train direct to Victoria station and west London. Overall thoroughly recommended!
