I stayed two nights at Malika while attending a photography course during the weekend in London. Her house is outside London centre, but the train takes only 15-20 minutes and from the station to the house, only 3 minutes. Be aware that there are less frequent trains in the weekends so just make sure you are at station in time. Otherwise it can be a long wait. The area is quiet area with a few restaurants and shops. I didn't have time to explore it, but it looks nice. I will recommend Malika's house to anyone. Malika is a wonderful host! I was so well taken care of.
