Allan is an amazing host. His house is a reflection of his love of life and beauty. My room was lovely and comfortable, with lots of thoughtful touches: tea and coffee facilities, an extra folding table, great lighting and an excellent TV. The USB charging tower was so appreciated since I could bypass the UK plug adaptor issue altogether.
While I was invited to use the kitchen, I didn't. I left early each morning and found great places (with vegetarian options) to eat locally and in central London. I returned most afternoons to eat in Blackheath: Cote, Giraffe, Taste of Raj and Gail's.
The trains and buses from either Ladywell or Lewisham stations will get you anywhere quickly (buy an Oyster card to make travel easy and reasonable).
Allan suggested a walk through Lewisham, Blackheath and on to the Greenwich Observatory with its spectacular view of London across the Thames. It was amazing and ranks right up there as one of my favorite walks anywhere.
Thank you again Allan
