I loved staying at Ali's house! You've got everything you need in this house. The house is close to bus stops which will easily take you to Brixton or Crystal Palace. The West Norwood train station to London Bridge & London Victoria is 10-15 minutes walk. The town has 4 express grocery stores which closes til late night (Tesco express closes at 11pm). Plenty of resturants and pubs as well, one pub is near the house which is 3 minutes walk! And most importantly, I loved my stay because of the housemates and Ali. I did not personally meet Ali but she always makes sure that she I am well taken care of. The housemates are very warm and friendly. I can't wait to be back!
