Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Salwa because she was unwell but her daughter met us, answered any questions that we had and offered to show us around the area. For those who are mainly interested in the main downtown area of London around the Thames, this might not be the best option for you unless you're planning on taking the tube - cabs were a bit pricey. However it's a fantastic location to Hyde Park, Oxford Street and the direct train to Heathrow from Paddington Stn. Thanks for the good stay!
