We are a family of 4 with 2 young adult/teenage daughters. While work and school keep us firmly in London, we love travelling the world whenever time permits and have visited many far flung places with the girls. We are always open to offers and places we may not have considered at all. We love hiking, cycling, fishing and the outdoors as well as cities of all sizes and are always happy to consider worldwide exchanges for 1 to 3 weeks, or UK exchanges for a week or long weekend.

We particularly appreciated the quality of our discussions as well as their advices and their charming attentions. They allowed us to discover London in ideal conditions and fully enjoy their lovely house and garden. We really enjoy the many restaurants and pubs in the neighborhood. Thanks again !
