Julie’s place near New Cross Gate was about as central as you can get without being right in the thick of London. We flew in to Gatwick Airport and took the train to New Cross Gate. We arrived about 3 hours before our check-in, but Julie was happy to let us freshen up and stow our bags in the room while she finished preparing the space for us.
The room was comfy - we had three nights of excellent sleep, and it was comfortable to hang out in during the evenings. We were out exploring during the day: Borough Market, Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park, and so on. We saw a concert at the Roundhouse in Camden as well as a showing of Wicked in Victoria.
All in all, Julie’s place is a great value and a comfortable place to rest your head. Would recommend 100%.
