The flat is beautifully appointed, and was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Access to London is very simple due to the Croydon East station nearby. There’s a bus, 197, on that street that picks up and drops off to the station, and there are National Rail trains in and out of both Victoria or London Bridge stations that run frequently. We purchased Travel Passes on Oyster Cards when we arrived at Heathrow (East Croydon is in Zone 5) which have us unlimited use of the Underground, National Rail, and buses during our stay. Well worth the purchase! There’s also a market on the corner by the flat, and one right across from the train station. We had a pleasant experience, and highly recommend it! (Some of the area looks a bit run down, but we always felt safe, and there are also taxis available at the train station.) Getting in and out of London was quite easy — but do be aware that the trains don’t run all night.
