Bright, spacious double bedroom in Victorian house
Welcome to my newly refurbished, light-filled & centrally-located home in Brixton! Away from the buzz of the town centre but only a few minutes' walk from its bars, eateries, market, shops & Underground/Railway stations, this is how to experience London as a Londoner! The area is residential, quiet & only moments away from the green expanses of Brockwell Park. The room, on the first floor, is spacious, cosy & the double bed fitted with Egyptian cotton linen - next door is your own shower room!
Brixton Hill is the more laid back, quiet and residential answer to the buzz, hyper-activity and excitement of central Brixton: mid to late Victorian houses line up tranquil streets, amongst which a few local pubs and amenities nestle. The vast, green expanses of Brockwell Park, with its gorgeous views over the entirely of London, its 1930's art deco Lido (open air swimming pool) and children's playground areas, are but a mere minutes away. It's a 15 minute walk, down the hill, to central Brixton, or a 5 minute bus ride from one of the numerous services available from the end of the street.
A Londoner of 25 years, after all this time I am still making the most of everything the greatest city in the northern hemisphere has on offer, from traditional pubs to evenings of Shakespeare's classics at the Globe theatre, music festivals on the Southbank to contemporary art exhibitions in East London, gigs at the Brixton Academy to street food in Soho etc. - one can never be blasé in London! I'm also a keen traveller, out of the country on a fortnightly basis or so, both in Europe and the Americas - with a marked obsession for Sudamerica (Chile! Brasil!). Food is extremely important to me and one of the perks of being on the road so often - I love recreating in my own kitchen what I've treated my tastebuds to on my travels. I work in publishing so the written word and the arts are  of huge importance to me and a constant source of pleasure, exploration and furthering of knowledge. Socialising in another huuuuge aspect of my life, friends, friends of friends, future friends...bring them all under the same roof! I live in one of London's most exciting neighbourhoods and I am very attached to it - as I am to my gorgeous house which I re designed myself and is both a source of pride and a cosy home.
