Double Room in Stunning Period House (LGBT+)
Newly decorated double bedroom in my Edwardian House in conservation area 4 minutes walk to Sydenham Overground station.  Canary wharf 20 minutes and Westminster 30 minutes.<br />Shared bathroom (I have my own loo) and shared kitchen.  Two shared sitting rooms one next to bedroom. Quiet garden to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or relaxing glass of wine. <br />Check in from 3pm.  <br />Gay host, and very LBGT+ friendly and welcoming of all cutures and herritage.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The Thorpes Estate is a quiet, friendly community-spirited conservation area.  I have a four bedroom house - this listing includes the largest "bedroom" which is my study and workroom but can double as a sitting room.  Your bedroom is only used for guests.
Sydenham itself is quiet and village-like with its own cafes, gastropubs, butcher, fishmonger, greengrocer and bookshop (plus supermarkets and 24 hour Mediterranean food shop).  We're just down the hill from trendy Crystal Palace with its vintage and antique shops, cafes and restaurants.  Nearby Forest Hill is home to the Horniman Museum with fascinating displays and beautiful park, and the Dulwich Picture Gallery - the UKs first public art gallery - has a world-class collection including stunning Poussins.<br />We're 30 minutes from the heart of the west end by tube/Overground - and in easy Uber range home after a night out in Vauxhall or Southbank (about £15 in an Uber... or £3 on the 176 night bus from central London or Waterloo).
Busy Head of Commercial IT for a well-known London Transport organisation (!), with a love of art, culture, opera and all things (and places) beautiful.
