We stayed at Kevin's house on the evenings before and after the London marathon and it was the perfect place for us. It gave us access to all the home comforts we needed, with a well supplied kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The fact that the neighbourhood was completely quiet was another bonus. I didn't hear one siren and for London, that's rare! We really needed a good night's rest before the marathon so that was great. It's close to Greenwich village. We were able to walk to the marathon start line within 20 minutes. Also there are so many great restaurants in Greenwich. Lots of choice. Kevin was a great host and allowed us to check in early as we needed to get to the marathon exhibition to register. Highly recommended place to stay.
