Tanvir's place is on walking distance of a few good areas like the Tower of London however we still found it useful to just buy a one day pass on the bus. The neighbourhood seems to be alright . Tanvir arranged to meet us at his place at 345 pm and we arrived early and tried calling him with no answer. The apartment number is not listed and neither is the door number actually so we didn't even know what door to knock on, so we went to a pub, waited an hour and came back , still no answer and he didn't answer his phone. Then we asked a neighbour what door was his and he showed us the right one but couldn't tell us what apartment was the right one. So we rang all 3 or 4 buzzers and got somebody who mist have called somebody else and that guy came about 5-10 min later ( not tanvir but a very nice friend) . Besides the initial not Being able to contact tanvir everything was fine although the shower could use a good scrub down ( very hot and nice shower) bed was comfortable and we slept fine. If you need extra pillows look in the cabinet we didn't know until we found them at the end. In fact take a good look around to see what is availible to use like the two umbrellas.
