This is the best kept secret in London. The environment is lovely. Allan has exquisite taste; if you are creative, this is the environment for you. Allan is an also an excellent cook - the house always smelled like Christmas with something mouthwatering bubbling on the stove. He knowledgeable about London and can answer almost any question you have. It's a snap to get to the center of the city. The small touches were telling: a teapot, guidebooks and a umbrella in my room. But the best thing about this bnb is Allan himself. This host is cultured, kind, well-traveled and thoughtful. This is the best bnb I've ever stayed at. Book early, though; Allan is in demand!
