Jacqueline and his husband are wonderful hosts, we had a very warm welcome, she showed us around the neighbourhood with her car on the first day of our arrival. The house is really charming (even more than on the pictures), decorated with perfect taste, with a great garden with squirrels:). London is about 30 minutes by train (we used Travel Card) but Carshalton, with its lovely parks is also worth seeing! We enjoyed our stay very much.
