Although the location was outside of London proper, the location suited as well. There was a fantastic boutique grocery store nearby with a great wine selection as well as several restaurants nearby for a quick meal, although we took full advantage of their nice kitchen and cooked a fair amount. Our stay was during Christmas and our hosts had a fully decorated Christmas tree for our enjoyment. Quite a lovely two level flat with enclosed balcony. I would highly recommend it. The trains were not running on his regular schedule so we ended up taking Uber into town quite a bit and that proved to be just fine.
