Violet´s house was what I was aiming to in London. Away from the frantic center, in a quiet neighborhood. The acess to the tube was easy, 8 minutes to the Picadilly line, and Picadilly circus was about 15-20 minutes.
I loved the house, a kind of countryside house decoration in pastel colours, the walls telling the story of its owners. We were able to make home brunches and had them everyday in the small yard/garden, thanks to good weather.
Sammy met us and Violet was easy to contact by text messages.
Highly recommendable.
