I wouldn't have believed I could find such a place in London. A very quiet gated location with the ancient Old St Pancras Church just across the road, again in it's own fenced grounds - very peaceful. And yet in 150 seconds, I had walked to the rear entrance of St Pancras International to get the Eurostar. If you have the stamina, the whole of central London is within walking distance. I spent a day at the British Museum and on another day, walked as far as St Pauls - 29000 steps there and back but I saw so much of London, old and new. Katya's place is fairly basic but clean, comfortable and warm. I wanted nothing more for a couple of days of sightseeing and then being on the doorstep of Eurostar.
