Diversity - cinema, theatres, restaurants and green space within easy reach.  We are just 35 minutes from central London, yet, our area and our actual road is very typical of a quiet English suburban street.  The district was described by poet laureate Sir John Betjeman as a retreat for people leaving the centre of town as: <br /><br />"Hurries down the concrete station<br />With a frown of concentration,<br />Out into the outskirt’s edges<br />Where a few surviving hedges<br />Keep alive our lost Elysium – rural Middlesex again."
Our home is in Colindale. The nearest tube is Colindale in zone 4 on the northern line. It is less than a ten minute walk from our home. The jubilee line is also accessible via a short bus ride. To get to central London takes 35 minutes by tube.

We are flexible hosts. We provide breakfast and guests are welcome to prepare light meals in our kitchen and use our utensils and crockery.

It's a shared bathroom but we have our own bathroom, too, so there isn't undue pressure and we find everyone who stays considerate.

We provide towels and freshly laundered bed linen. Therefore, our guests can travel light.

We have a small, friendly dog (Patch). As our reviews show, he is quite a hit with visitors!

There is 24 hour wi-fi.

I am a qualified CELTA teacher (teacher of English to non-native speakers) and available to provide tuition to those visiting who would like someone to help to fit this in with a tourist visit.

My husband works locally running a printing/graphic design department in a school and connects well with young people and, indeed, people of all ages and professions.

We have two adult children who are university educated and have interesting professions and are well travelled. They and their friends are often in our house and they embrace meeting our guests.

We try to be as flexible as possible and accommodate all reasonable requests to support our guests. We are passionate about being Ambassadors for London. We have Irish heritage and feel this gives us the warmth always associated with natives of the Emerald Isle!

We enjoy meeting people from the UK and all over the world and treating them as we would our own family.

Our home is located near a Middlesex University campus and also the College of Policing (Hendon), RAF Museum, Public Health England, Utility Warehouse head office as well as Brent Cross shopping centre. There are numerous supermarkets close by and also an Oriental Centre with a variety of restaurants, food courts and a supermarket. There's Costa Coffee, an Italian deli, Chinese, Arab and Indian restaurants close by and also Baskin Robbins (32 flavour) ice-cream parlour close by. 

We're happy to answer any questions to assist with making an informed choice before you book with us.
