Cute single room with view of park
Just a 20 min Tube journey from central London, this contemporary apartment in an 1898 house, overlooking the pretty Lloyd Park, is a peaceful haven to return to after a day in the capital.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Although the room is small, it is light and quiet and relaxing, with a gorgeous view. So you could drink your morning coffee at the desk or in the park if you want to.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />As a guest you share use of the bathroom and kitchen.

There's a 9-screen cinema, a couple of great pizza places, an Afro-Caribbean restaurant/bar, an excellent new vegetarian Indian restaurant and some lovely cafes close at hand. So, although it’s not Soho or Shoreditch, you don’t have to be at a loss to do anything locally in the evenings. It’s a generally relaxed and safe neighbourhood, which has a wonderful Art Trail in June. And the award-winning William Morris Gallery (dedicated to one of Britain's most influential designers) is right outside the door, in the park, where there are a couple of cafes. Take a look at my Guidebook for more information.
Open-minded, inquisitive, mature bohemian who welcomes life's absurdities. And I make films, which encapsulates all of that list.
I love cinema and cinemas, playing the guitar, spending time in nature - even if it's just a park - immersing myself in a new place and seeing what makes it tick, conversations with strangers, sharing intimacies with friends, making other people laugh and finding things that make me laugh, reading/watching whatever challenges me and makes me think.
