I really enjoyed my stay at Marie's. It was a nice big room with a big comfortable bed as well as TV a kettle and small fridge. The area was perfect for anybody travelling on a budget with plenty of low price take-aways and restaurants just across the road.
There were also great transport links with a bus stop opposite and metro station just 5 minutes walk away. The area is very central anyway but with these links it was easy to get anywhere in London.
My favourite hangout was an independent coffee shop called Chapter. To get there just go to the top of North End Road, cross over and continue another block and you will see it on your right. Great cakes and music, give it a go.
