Ginny's place was a wonderful way to stay in London. The flat was great, my son said the beds were more comfortable than the 5 star hotel we had stayed at in Spain, it was a very nice flat.
Bus stop on the corner and a 5-10 minute walk to the West Norwood Rail station to take you to central London in 25 minutes, so it was easy to come and go.
Not a lot of restaurants or places to eat nearby, but we did find a great local, The Conquering Hero, with good pub food and friendly owner. We went for quiz night, my son played chess with the owner's son, and we got to meet Frances Bacon, the resident food vacuuming pot bellied pig. A very fun night out!
