Room in a townhouse

Your own room in a home, plus access to shared spaces.
Some info has been automatically translated.
Our classic, traditional English town house has been our family home for nearly 35 years. You'll stay in a bedroom with a double bed and private bathroom, overlooking the garden. Your own space. The streets are quiet and safe and are bursting with great pubs and restaurants. Fast and varied transport link to London's finest attractions. We 're just 15 mins walk from the river Thames & shops in the huge Westfield shopping mall.

The space
Come and stay in a comfortable, relaxed household. We are happy to help and advise on the best way to get around town and make recommendations on local pubs, restaurants and places to see and visit. Ideal for two, but singles more than welcome. You can take breakfast anytime in the morning, downstairs or head straight out to explore by taking nearby buses and trains... We think London, and its hinterland, need more than a few days so stay as long as you can.

Guest access
Your double room is at the top of the house and and comes with your own private bathroom, closet and excellent wifi (at the best speeds London can offer). This is your space, shared with nobody. In the morning you can help yourself to cereal, bread and jams, coffee/tea in the kitchen or our small and charming garden that your room overlooks. There are several really good places to eat dinner, of all different types and price points, very close by.

During your stay
We have been a host family for foreign adult students of English for over 12 years. We've been Airbnb hosts for over eight years. So we welcome guests, look forward to meeting you and helping you get the best from our city. We recognise people visit London for different reasons with a different knowledge of the city. We engage with you as much as you wish and will forward tips before you arrive to help your planning.

Other things to note
Four major museums, the V & A, the Science, the Design, the Natural History, are all reached by a direct 20-min tube ride to South Kensington. The British Museum and the other attraction of London's centre or 'West End' are also only 25 minutes away by tube. Guests also love to ride the no 94 bus (5 mins away) past Notting Hill and Hyde Park all the way to Piccadilly Circus – 24/7 for £1.75. Stay longer (we offer discounts for 7- and 30-day stays) and we will happily recommend interesting trips to locations outside town, sometimes just 30 minutes away by the train. Harry Potter's film studio and Bicester Retail Park are popular with many of our guests.

Neighbourhood highlights

Our neighbourhood ( in Zone 2 for travel plans) – Hammersmith / Shepherds Bush – is an exciting cosmopolitan neighbourhood with the river, tube, train, shops, theatres, cinemas, restaurants and cafes nearby. There are three pubs within five minutes walk we are happy to recommend.

The river Thames is just 15 minutes walk away, with its picturesque pubs and river side walks. Look the other way and there are fast and regular transport links (day and night) to London' finest attractions.

Nearby Shepherd's Bush is home to Westfield White City, the largest inner-city shopping centre in Europe that hosts a huge range of shops and eateries.

The Bush, Lyric and Apollo offer outstanding theatre and entertainment and are just a 15/20 mins walk. Three top football clubs – Fulham, QPR and Chelsea – have their home ground within three miles.

I’m happy to spend time with my guests or give them space
We’ve been married for 35 years, having met in Hong Kong. We’ve lived in west London most of our married life and our two daughters have now left home. We enjoy all that London has to offer: sports, the arts, architecture, theatre, food or its surprising amount of natural beauty. We cycle a lot but love walking in the UK countryside. We have a soft spot for Japan & Spain. Fiona lived in Spain for two years. We look forward to welcoming you...
