Candida's house and family are absolutely lovely. Their home is located in a residential neighbourhood. Taking the overground it takes only 30 minutes to get to the inner City of London. There are also a number of bus stations and lines, small shops and restaurants and pubs around the corner. They were perfectly organised and prepared: we had tea, adapters for the plugs, shampoo, and an umbrella to brave the weather of London (which was really nice during our stay in November). Thank you, Candida and family!
