We live very close to Streatham Common with its beautiful woodland and open spaces.  The formal Edwardian garden, The Rookery, is one of London's hidden gems and a great place to explore. The centre of Streatham is also close by with great shops, restaurants and pubs, plus a fantastic jazz bar, and all the amenities you might need, from supermarkets to banks to an excellent library.  Slightly further afield is Crystal Palace with its historic park and great selection of antique shops, art galleries and hip, new bars and eateries.
We are a happy, busy family of five (kids are age 20, 18 and 16) and a friendly medium size dog, who enjoy welcoming visitors to our house in London.  I am a  literary agent and my husband works in retail management.  We are fans of theatre, film, restaurants, art galleries, architecture and museums - everything that London is famous for - and can help our London guests plan their stay in this wonderful city with tips on places to go, ideas that might not be in any guide book, and best ways to get around town.  My husband is a keen cyclist, so bike enthusiasts are particularly welcome and we have space to safely store your bicycle.

We love to travel and visit other cities - our style is to make a plan and then to wander off from the plan and discover as we go along!  Our hosting style is similar - we are relaxed and have lots going on in our family but will always have time to chat and help guests plan their visit and discover some fun thing to do that they might not have thought of. 

If you have any questions about us or about what we can do to help your visit to London run smoothly, please get in touch any time.
