The place is located in in a very peaceful locality. Close to any type of activity or utility you may need for your stay. Underground station is 10 min walk train takes you to city center in 15 min. the whole city is accessible. 10 Min walk to a nice park right next to Thames river. The stairs could be a challenge with luggage but once you are seated it just like home. We a family of4 had wonderful time and would consider it for our future stays.
