a clean, spacious room next to the beautiful Albert Bridge and Battersea Park. It was unexpectedly convenient and leisurely to travel to many places in zone one by bus (if you are not in a hurry)

Vilma told me the different bus routes and I tried them on various days:
Bus 345 to the nearest underground station South Kensington (15 mins) where there were many good restaurants (e.g. Comptoir libanais, Muriel's kitchen, Wasabi etc.) I also walked to Knightbridge.

I took bus 319 to Sloane Square (15 mins) where there were many high fashion boutiques.

I went to St Paul's, the Millennium Bridge, the Globe and Borough Market by the No.11 bus, which took about 45 mins- 1hr. As Vilma suggested, sitting on the upper deck can give you a grand tour of the beautiful landmarks in London.
I watched an evening performance and might have disturbed the family at mid-night when I returned.

The No 19 bus took me to West End (Leicester Square and China Town) Golden Dragon at China Town serves authentic delicious canton dim sum, rice & noodles.
I watched matinees instead later on.

Additionally, the 170 bus can take you to the Victoria coach / Victoria station to take trains or coaches to different parts of England.

We could also walk to Kings Road within 15 minutes. I like Le Pain Quotidien, a cafe just across the Chelsea fire station. It is excellent, serving delicious food and with great service.

The tube district line has direct access to Heathrow as well.

Vilma is friendly, artistic and with a warm personality.
Anthony is a scholarly gentleman who offered help when needed.
I had a very enjoyable stay in London this time. Thanks Vilma & Anthony! Thanks London Buses!

(PS London tube strike was going on during the first 2 days of my stay)
