Staying with Gill, her family and the two dogs near Alexandra Palace in London is as good as it gets. The accomodation is first rate, the room we stayed in looked brand new and is much bigger than you would expect in London. Our hosts did everything they could to help us get the best out of our 4-day stay. The house was very clean, and extremely quiet at night. It's very conveniently located, just a short train or Tube journey from all the main attractions. Alexandra Palace, or "Ally Pally", where we went to see an exhibition, is within easy walking distance. I've been to London more than 20 times, and this is the friendliest and best accomodation I've ever found there, and at a reasonable cost. Very highly recommended.
