Annie made us very welcome to her home and basically gave us the whole place to ourselves, as she was very busy with her life at the time., so it was like our own place for 10 days. The area is quiet and has pretty good access to the city via bus or train. You can get to London Bridge in about 20 min via subway or over ground train as well. Nearby on on the Hill is Moswell Hill which is a very nice area with great views back to the city and great shops and cafes..you can walk or catch the bus up the hill easily.
