I spent two weeks staying with Leigh in Kew Gardens while doing research at the National Archives. I enjoyed my time in his home immensely and cannot say enough good things about it to prospective guests. The room was quiet, clean, well stocked, and convenient. Leigh was incredibly welcoming and helpful. He provided a great deal of guidance when answering all my questions about what to see in the area and in central London. As if that were not enough, he put out the best breakfast spread I have ever had (hotels included). If I am fortunate enough to return to London I would try to plan my stay to enable me to stay here again. And of course, Kew is a beautiful area with lots to do and great places to eat. It also has a convenient tube stop to take you anywhere in London.
