When we arrived we couldn't believe there were such a place in London. It's a calm house by the Thames with a couple pubs next door. One could spend a weekend there and never go to central London. It is far enough to escape the rush, but still zone 2, which makes it more affordable. The house itself feels like a pleasant travel through time. It was built in the 17th century and traces of its story are all around. Access to the room is easy (if you don't mind the stairs) and facilities are comfortable. Finally, the host is very nice and full of amazing stories of his travels around the globe. If you ever get a chance, ask him about his experience in India!
