Sunny, private studio -- own entrance & courtyard
This quiet, bright and airy studio for a maximum of 2 guests is in a leafy London village, a short walk from the bustling medieval market town of Kingston upon Thames. Located within the owners' sunny private garden, it benefits from its own separate entrance and patio garden, as well as a private shower room, kitchen area and washing machine -- all your own space, not shared. It is also a 5-min walk from the 445-hectare Royal Bushy Park and just over 30 min by train to London Waterloo Station.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />ROOM FOR TWO: This is a calm and airy space -- a double-height room of around twenty-six square metres with wood laminate floors, white walls and skylights. There are also double glass doors to your hosts' back garden on one side, and on the other your own separate entrance through a courtyard/patio garden with plants, a table and two chairs. The courtyard, with its locked gate, would be a safe place to store your bicycle(s), enjoy a cup of tea, or hang out your 
Teddington is a safe, green and serene part of southwest London, perfect for cycling, walking or running, with the fabulous Royal Bushy Park only a five-minute stroll away, and scenic paths to be found along the nearby Thames. <br /><br />If you're hungry, you only need to walk around the corner to The Lion, an English pub with good food and real ale (as well as live music sometimes). The bustling market town of Kingston upon Thames is around 15 min away by foot, with fantastic shopping, restaurants and even a lovely modern theatre, The Rose. In the other direction, a 20 min walk will bring you to Teddington High Street, with more restaurants and shops, or to Teddington Lock, where you can access the Thames Path for riverside walks and see boats navigate through a complex of three locks.<br /><br />Hampton Court Palace, the 500-year-old home of King Henry VIII and one of the most popular tourist attractions in London, is only a 30-minute walk away across beautiful Bushy Park. This love
I'm an artist, writer/editor/translator and mom of two from the US, with an English ex-architect husband. We do a lot of gardening, and guests staying in our London studio can see our back garden with flower borders, vegetable patch and greenhouse, where our son indulges his passion for chilli peppers. Unfortunately the London garden has not received much attention the past few years as we've been busy renovating a Victorian coastal cottage in Freshwater Bay, Isle of Wight (finished summer 2021). 

We like culture, good food and wine and getting out in the fresh air, all of which we have on our doorstep in Southwest London, with the Royal Bushy Park and medieval market town of Kingston upon Thames both a short walk away. We've made our home in this green and pleasant borough of London for over fifteen years, and before that we lived eight years in the beautiful city of Stockholm, Sweden. We love to go on holiday to France, sometimes visiting my brother and his wife, who are organic winemakers in the Minervois region.

But one thing we don't have in London is the sea - and we can't get enough of it at our newly renovated home on the Isle of Wight, especially from our sea-view balcony. We do love to be by the seaside - come stay at our new place on the Isle of Wight and see why!
