Located a short walk from the train station, this place has everything you’d need nearby. Adil is a very accommodating host and the neighbourhood has affordable options for food (a Lidl supermarket nearby) and many restaurants. The neighbourhood seemed safe enough to me and I just took the usual precautions when travelling, like keeping an eye on my belongings when out on the street. The area has plenty of honest and friendly people. You need to take the train to the City of London or nearby (which takes less than an hour) to explore London’s attractions.
