Well what a gem this place is - the sort of accommodation you don't want to praise too much as you want to be able to keep it to yourself!
The proprietors Mary and Martin are a delight and put you at ease straightaway like a favourite aunt and uncle.
Spotlessly clean and the breakfasts are lovely. Extremely quiet neighbourhood overlooking a park yet everywhere from the city to south east London is within easy travelling distance - bus, tube, DLR, overground and even boat if you fancy a different view of London.
We stayed as spectators for the London Marathon and it was perfect - half hour walk to the start at Greenwich with an extended part of the route being only 2 minutes from the house.
30 min bus ride from Tower Bridge, 20 mins from Greenwich or 15 minute stroll to Surrey Quays station which then takes you anywhere. We had a train strike during our stay and it was still so easy to get around.
There are all manner of food places locally in Deptford and also a Wetherspoons (The Surrey Docks) only 15 mins away. Our favourite though was Greenwich where you had all types of eating places from pubs to restaurants even a pie and mash shop (Goddards which we can vouch for which caters for all tastes - the vegan meat pie was gorgeous even though I eat meat).
On the last day, we were in Westminster and instead of the underground we decided to come back by boat to Greenwich which was, as far as we were concerned, one of the best ways to travel around this part of London.
Stay here, you will not regret it.
Much love to Mary and Martin, see you again soon xx
