Barbara was a great host, and stayed in contact with me as I made my journey to her (lovely) flat – a good thing, as trains are not so frequent to South Bromley (every half hour from Victoria), and was understanding and cool about my turning up late due to this.
The flat is super-nice, and has everything you would hope for (towels, reliable wi-fi, very comfy bed and sofa, kitchen amenities) and she had helpfully left bread, eggs and milk available for me to use. Was also very happy for me to use remaining bathroom products, and look at her own books etc. Many titles suggested we were on the “same page”, so to speak….
You get two trips for one in this location: you have “that there London” half an hour away, plus Bromley itself, a town with it’s own flavour. There are also a park and woods a short distance from the flat (recommended to me from Barbara), which are ideal to stroll through. If that’s too far to get a bit of nature, the block encompasses as mini-park of it’s own, with lake and ducks.
Recommended!
