Karen’s home is a few miles from LHR Terminal 5, which works great for those in a car or taxi (my sister and I took the bus, which was probably not the easiest or quickest way to go- learn from us and take a cab as Karen suggests).
The home itself is lovely, clean, and cozy. We arrived in the midst of a storm front that was dousing England with rain, and Karen’s home provided the perfect warm, comfortable respite from the elements. From her home, we were able to walk about 15 minutes to reach Nando’s, Tesco, Aldi, Asda, Holland & Barrett, and a pretty Park with a WW2 Memorial (there were many more shops/restaurants in that area; those are just the ones I remember seeing and/or visiting).
Karen is very sweet and she made us feel right at home. We enjoyed our stay at her home.
