The garden is a lovely haven, especially in the summer - see photos and comments from previous guests. You are welcome to use the washing machine. I live in this large 3 story Victorian house on my own. I am always happy to help with local information and advice on travel and all the touristy and not touristy stuff to do. You can be quiet and private here or sociable and enquiring. What is important is that you feel comfortable. Quiet and friendly, with lots of shops and restaurants for all your basic needs; and a great train service from Lewisham station into all central areas of London. Lewisham is friendly, safe and full of the good things that a diverse international city should offer. Lewisham has one of the lowest crime rates of all the boroughs of London. I know all my neighbours and many of the stall owners at the local (2 minutes walk) fruit and vegetable market. There is a surprising amount of greenery and wildlife here. The area is known around the world for the river restoration and naturalisation that has taken place in recent years. Demonstrating how an urban city can also be a place for wildlife and nature. Frequent and (for London) late running trains from, and returning to, Lewisham Station (Zone2). Journey time to the City is 7-10 minutes and to West End is 17 minutes and to Victoria is 20 minutes. Lewisham is one of the main public transport hubs of London with quick, easy access to the West End and all tourist destinations. Often ignored because it is not on the standard underground map, the mainline National Rail train service is faster, cleaner and nicer than the underground, and it is included on all tickets and Oyster Cards: 8 minutes from Lewisham to London Bridge and the City area 16 minutes from Lewisham to Charing Cross, central London – West End Theatres, Trafalgar Square etc. 20 minutes from Lewisham to Victoria - near the Natural History, Science and Victoria & Albert Museums. Lewisham Station is 10 mins walk from the house. The station is on the border of Zone 2 and 3, which gives you the best of all worlds. So going into central London you are only charged from Zone 2. But if you travel outwards (into Zone 3 or 4 or beyond) you will only be charged from Zone 3. Tourist and main destinations: - West End and Central London – Overground trains into the West End (theatres and shopping) are very frequent, take 16 minutes, and run until 1am. - London Bridge for the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, The Shard, St Katherines Dock and The City (financial district), take 8 minutes. - Victoria station gives easy access to the main museums and to Buckingham Palace and is 20 minutes on the train. - Greenwich – 5 mins on the bus or DLR. Or you can do a lovely walk from the house in 25 minutes! Greenwich is one of the most popular tourist destinations in London, with it’s markets, Royal park, Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark boat and Maritime Museum. From Greenwich pier you can take a boat trip on the Thames river into London, passing under London’s iconic Tower Bridge or the other way to the Thames Barrier. - ExCel exhibtion centre – 25 mins on DLR and Underground or a more interesting route would be bus and then over the river on the new high-flying Emirates Cable Car. - O2 Arena - 20-25 minutes by bus. Bus stop is 2 minutes from the house and the bus stops outside the Arena. Also possible via DLR and Underground service. NOTE Lewisham and the DLR are shown on the standard London Underground maps, but these small maps do not show the faster mainline National Rail service, because it makes the maps very big. You can find an Underground PLUS National Rail map online if you want to see everything that is included in London Transport
