Our family of 4 had a lovely stay at Harriet’s home in the Lambeth Section of London. Typically, people wonder, “where is the most central place to stay when visiting London?”. In our opinion staying near Big Ben, Westminster and the Thames is key. SO for us, Harriet’s home ticked all those boxes.
Harriet’s home is located in a quiet neighborhood, easy walking to the Lambeth North tube stop or to Elephant Castle tube stop which all bring you to any other points on the London Tube system you could possibly want to visit. We also used the app “MY TAXI” which was easy and speedy whenever a larger group of us were traveling somewhere.
Communicating with Harriet and her house manager prior to our trip was quite easy and also very timely. Those efficient communications were also evident while we were in London.
The home is very roomy. Plenty of space for people of various ages to sleep comfortably and generous storage for clothes and luggage. There are 2 bathrooms, which was convenient when trying to get ready in the morning to meet tour guides or go exploring. There are several lovely pubs in the area, good pizza at the corner, there is a laundry/dry cleaner nearby who will wash and fold your laundry. While there is a washing machine in the house, there is not a dryer, so we spoiled ourselves and had the Laundry/Dry Cleaner shop do a load of laundry for us.
The kitchen has all utensils and appliances you could need. Ample places to sit and relax. TV & Wifi very reliable. There is a pretty outdoor garden area, that we weren’t able to utilize due to the weather, but certainly an enjoyable perk.
The International War Museum is within sight of the home, in our opinion this Museum is a hidden gem in London and a not to be missed experience.
If you are a family with children or a group of couples looking for a place that is comfortable, convenient, safe, and well priced, Harriet’s home is the place for you in London.
