From the first cheery Hullo when I arrived I felt very welcome and at home in Linda's delightful terrace home in Southfields.
It is so conveniently located to the station and even closer to the tennis then I imagined it would be.
Make sure you go to the cafes/restaurants that Linda recommends on her list, my only regret was that I didn't go to the Indian restaurant first so I could have gone back and worked my way through the menu, one of the best Indian restaurants that I have been to.
Breakfast in the mornings was a lovely experience and I really appreciated Linda's thoughtfulness in providing me with
GF bread. Having tea in a pot brewed and drunk out of pretty floral cups was such an English experience.
A big plus is that Southfields station has a lift so you don't have to lug your case up the stairs and the District Line takes you to Earl's Court which also has lifts and the Picadilly line takes you to Heathrow.
My stay there surpassed my expectations and I would recommend others to stay there.
