My family of five (all adults) just returned from our one week stay. We had a wonderful time. The apartment is very clean and we had plenty of room. We had a nice view of the Thames and the walk to the underground (Jubilee Line) is an easy 10-12 minute walk. This line will get you anywhere you want to go in London. We flew into and out of Gatwick Airport from the states which took about one hour each way to/from the apartment. There is a grocery close by and a few restaurants/pubs/coffee shops, but we really didn't spend much time in the area as we ventured downtown every day. The area is primarily residential, and is generally pretty quiet. There is some construction of new apartments currently in the area which wasn't any problem for us. Overall, a great value in my opinion!
