I was picked up by our hosts at the station even when that was only a 10 minute walk. All the time they were asking if everything was ok and that just at the moment that they ere very busy in their private lives. The neighbourhood is maybe not the most appealing but on the other side, it is so convenient near to the station and next to heathrow. And in no time you are in the center of London. Important also.... free parking in front of the house.
