Ray was a dental surgeon and I was an oncology nurse, now both retired. Our two grown up daughters have flown the nest with one living in Sydney Australia and the other locally in London. We like to arrange reunions with family as well as travel with friends so we only look for swaps to accommodate 6 or more people

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We have downsized and this is our new listing! We are looking for a last minute swap/non simultaneous for a reunion with our Canadian family. Our home is a luxurious and modernised period apartment, in sought after Wimbledon. The apartment is one of three lateral apartments where we have sole use of the parking with gated entrance and the large garden.
The kitchen, dining and family TV area is open plan with a beautiful Crittle window looking into a reception/dayroom. An effective blind allows for this room to become another bedroom en-suit with a high end sofa bed. The main bedroom has a superking bed with the other having a double bed. Both en-suite. We can sleep 6 people comfortably. The garden is large and an oasis from busy London. There is underfloor heated under all floors with a coal effect gas fire in the kitchen
The garden has a very large terrace with BBQ, seating and Gazebo with a Kadaai fire pit.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Attractions, apart from people watching - too numerous to mention. Information is in the house for our favourite restaurants and coffee shops. Apart from easy driving to the countryside and south coast there is everything the city has to offer. River cruises down to Greenwich and upstream to Windsor/Kew, West End and South Bank theatres and all London has to offer is available within easy public transport. Let me know if you have a specific interest otherwise lots of websites to research.
