Our home is in the lovely West Norwood of London, which is South East and easily linked by transport to any areas in London. The train station (which is less than a 10 minute walk away) has regular speedy trains to London Bridge, Kings Cross, Victoria, Clapham Junction... as well as countless buses to all corners of the city.
We have two cats who are quite honestly the most gentle and friendly cats we've ever met. You'll have a job stopping all the snuggles from them!
Our home is very lived in and loved by our two children and ourselves; Justin and Lucy. We hope you enjoy your stay!
