Great place for a German family with two kids (11 / 8). A Sainsbury's supermarket is very close as well as the station. The Tower of London for example can be reached within 30 minutes. The kids liked the park of the Horniman Museum a lot (10 minutes walk). At the beginning they did not like the idea of sharing a blanket very much (for Germans very uncommon ;-)). Who's kids cannot be convinced should ask Akay for an additional one. The apartment is well equipped and we didn't miss anything. The pub "kitchen bar/ all in one" (or however is was called...) is just around the corner and is totally alright for dinner. Kids are only allowed untill 8.30pm. Before you go to London think of taking passport pictures with you. You'll need them for the London travel cards. I am you will have a pleasent stay in this apartment!
