We've stayed at Richards place before and returned because it was very convenient for us as we were attending a convention at the Excel, which is only 3 stops away on the DLR. Richard gave us a carpark permit for free parking and was hospitable, helpful and easy to stay with. Our bed and room were comfortable and the kitchen was fine for preparing our meals. We also appreciated the lovely fruit and chocolate basket gift he gave us. We would happily recommend Richard as a host to anyone who wants to visit London.
