    A basic old style, B and B sharing bathrooms, with a good simple breakfast. A good deal financially for visiting London, but especially if you wish to spend a day at Kew Garden. Several restaurants are within easy reach for evening meal.

    The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was well presented and a great way to start the day. Chris is a warm welcoming host and ensured everything I needed was taken care of.

    It was very close to the National Archives, a seven minute walk. Thus, it was good for people visiting the National Archives. The morning breakfast included much fresh fruit, orange juice, many kinds of cereal and yogurt.

    I liked being made to feel at home. Also at a B&B, one gets to have some company at breakfast. Meeting people is part of travel; one doesn't get that staying at a hotel. Also I liked the coffee supplied in the room.

    Second time here and just as good as the last, the owners are very nice and have a lovely house. Towels are provided for the shared Shower facilities and the toilet was just outside the door. I was in a twin bedroom and it was very comfy....
