Clair and Alun's home was perfect for our trip. We were a family of 5 and the house is in the suburbs of London. The Blackheath train station was a 10 min walk and train ride is 30 mins to Downtown London. The house is convenient to a small local pub, food market, and equipped with appliances you would use everyday at home; a washing machine, hair dryer, etc. Clair provides a binder with "need to know" local and tourist information and Oyster cards for our use. We are planning our next visit already! Fantastic hosts with house in the perfect area of London.
