 Some of the staff did not seem to know the area and told us there were no nearby locations for dining which was not the case They indicated that everything was far away We later discovered that either Clapham Common a or Clapham Junction station and shops and restaurants were only a ten or fifteen minute walk from the hotel 
 One of the shuttle drivers a local man was very helpful telling us of nearby local business areas Also we loved being right on the river and the hotel was peaceful and the room was lovely
