Penny's place was wonderful - the perfect home base for lots of London adventures. There is a grocery store steps across the street and a bus stop just a few steps beyond that. Buses from this stop take you anywhere in the city, and many other destinations are reachable by foot from Penny's place, too. A+ for location - away from too much hustle and bustle, but still very convenient. Penny was very accommodating with arrival/departure times, and the room was lovely and clean and opened out to a terrace. I would HIGHLY recommend this spot to any solo travelers, I have many fond memories there!
