This is a private room in a hostel style apartment with 5 or so other similar rooms. Lambeth was a safe area and just a short walk to the tube and several pubs (Hercules, Pineapple) as well as the Imperial War museum. You can grab an Oyster card and explore all of London easily from here! The room was okay and the bed was rickety and squeaky but for this price I'd expect as much.
