Surbiton Sanctuary with Style-London Oyster Zone 6

*PLEASE NOTE SOME CHANGES TO MY NORMAL OFFERING FOLLOWING COVID 19 IN THE SECTION "Other Details to Note" 17 mins into Central London. Excellent public transport and access to London airports. You’ll love my place because of its nurturing yet stylish & calming vibe - a semi-detached victorian house packed with period features. Perfect for solo adventurers, business travellers or anyone who wants some nurture & nature yet plenty of buzzy town life. The space The bedroom is a large yet cosy double offering a double bed, overlooking a beautiful, wild garden. Get your daily nature and nurture here! Character packed with high ceilings and period features and situated in a semi-detached Victorian house in a quiet, residential street within easy reach of local shops and cafes. The neighbours are very friendly and so is the wildlife :) The property is very secure and alarmed; all mod cons - washer-machine, fridge-freezer, well equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi. Bedding and Towels supplied. If you have a car, parking is free on my street. I have been renting out for almost 20 years and offer a friendly, non-intrusive service. My guests always comment on how tranquil and cosy their stay was. This area is friendly and safe. You have the benefit of nature and open space combined with a friendly, social and buzzy atmosphere throughout the area. Not to mention of course - being close to the River Thames which I love, having recently moved out of Central London. Gone are the days of “Surbs being the Burbs”. We are served by the historical art deco Surbiton Station (of Harry Potter fame) with just a 17 minute journey into Waterloo. But there are alternative routes - mine is usually a short train ride to Wimbledon and then pick up the District Line to West and South West London. Alternatively, the 11 min ride to Clapham Junction and change to a 4 min journey to Victoria is a much used route of mine. We are Zone 6 which is covered by Oyster card. In terms of location, you couldn’t ask for better - transport links are excellent with bus, including night buses in and around Surbiton and Kingston Upon Thames. Also the option of mini-cabs, black taxis and Uber. It is a short bus ride from my home to Surbiton Station. Local amenities include Waitrose, Marks & Spencer, Sainsburys, John Lewis, Heals, and many other fashion and lifestyle shops, all the well known coffee chains and eateries, as well as some super independent artisan cafes. Plenty of gastro pubs and a favourite cocktail bar and Italian Restaurant in Maple Village. A good choice of cinemas and theatre. Very suitable if you wish to visit Epsom Downs Race course, Sandown Park, Wimbledon for Tennis or Hampton Court events. Suitable for short stay visitors, or if you are a University student. Happy to consider someone who wishes to stay longer term - just get in touch to start a conversation. I have met people from all over the world and enjoy sharing my own interests as well as hearing about theirs. Guest access Bathroom, garden, internet and laundry facilities.
