Butch was great and it was nice getting to know him. His place was a very short walk from my daughter's place so it was very convenient. Buses stopped at the end of his street and the trains were 10 minutes away.
The room I had was very comfortable with a large bed. I arrived at the hottest day London has ever experienced but the room was always comfortable. Butch kept me supplied with cold water and cold towels too.
Butch is a wood turner so there are examples of his work throughout his house. And he was working on projects during my stay in his shop. As a fellow woodworker I was impressed with his work.
The area was very quiet, mostly all I heard were birds with the typical London air traffic but well above us and only in the background. This part of the street is a dead end and his house is right at the end of the street so no traffic noise to contend with.
Wi-Fi worked great and cell phone coverage in the area was excellent. Butch said the house was build for soldiers coming back from WWI so expect to see all the quirks of a house of this period. Butch has for the most part keeps to the preservation guidelines for this type of house.
I'll be back at Butch's if my travels bring me to this area. And I look forward to it.
