Kitty's garden flat, located right by the Thames in a wonderful part of Greenwich, is simply fantastic. It is so quiet and peaceful, with the river and Thames path just a few steps away, yet very conveniently located for a quick and easy (and inexpensive with a zone 1-2 travel card) commute via DLR and tube into central London. Kitty and her family are so lovely, and were very kind and helpful. The flat was outfitted with everything you might need, including a washing machine, well-stocked kitchen ... and chocolate! The bed is large and comfy and there is plenty of room, with the flat made considerably larger by opening the french doors into the beautiful, whimsical, private garden. The villages of Greenwich and Blackheath, connected by paths through expansive hills and gardens of Greenwich Park, are both very fun and filled with cafes and interesting shops. The area is a designated UNESCO site and there are numerous museums, including the Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark and Maritime Museum. (Kitty has put together a great collection of suggestions for the area.)
I truly enjoyed my stay of just over a week at Kitty's place and hope to return later this year.
