Read More...What a fantastic house you have! We enjoyed our stay in this typical English house. The centre of Londen is only half an hour with the tube. But at the suggestion of our hostess we also went the other way and walked along the Thames with a great lunch as a break. No tourists seen! I highly recommend this stay! All the best to our host and family and maybe for another exchange.

Read More...We had a wonderful time in Lancaster Gardens house, during our stay there. It is perfect for a big family, with young kids, very fonctional. It allowed us to enjoy family time at the park nearby and to visit London, as the Northfields station to the Picadilly Line is very close. We highly recommand this house for a stay to visit London without being in the city center, and with a glimpse of the English way of life! No difficulties to park, and even a garden (but we were there with 0 Celsius températures, so we didn't used it).

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Our neighbourhood is quiet and residential, family orientated spot. 5mins walk from our house is a main high street (Northfields Avenue) which has a neighbourly feel with array of useful and traditional shops ranging from:- local butchers, fresh bakery, dedicated cheese shop, deli, green grocers, decent-sized supermarket (Tesco's which is open 6am-midnight 7days a week), fishmongers, etc.
We live 10mins walk to a tube station (Northfields) which is on the Picadilly Line and is very handy for getting into Central London, West End, Leicester Square, etc. We also have two nearby parks with child friendly activities (sand pit, playground etc) and also lots of running ground if you enjoy keeping up with your jogging on holiday.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
I know from previous swaps, it was important to us to have things to do locally within walking distance, in the evenings or on days off from hectic tourist activity. On that front, you will definitely not be disappointed at our house.
From our house its a short walk to busy cafes, restaurants, shops, pubs, supermarket, shopping centre and two parks. We picked our house and locality exactly for this reason, we like to be short walk away from all amenities.
Northfields (which is our local neighbourhood) is a calm suburban neighbourhood. There are many restaurant options within 5mins walk from our house (Northfields High Street, our local road) and many more within 15min walk (Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre has at least 10 or more varied restaurant options). Regular family outing that we enjoy on weekends is to walk to Ealing Broadway, mooch about the shops and eat in one of the many restaurants (there are many different cuisine options to choose from, Chinese, Mexican, American, etc)

Description of our Northfields neighbourhood -
"Starting from Uxbridge Road (Lido Junction), Northfield Avenue snakes down through nearly 200 businesses to Little Ealing Road (connecting with Pope’s Lane). The neighbourhood is simply called “Northfields”.
As one of the 60-odd shopping parades in Ealing borough, this avenue deserves special attention because of its individuality and community aspect.
Getting to Northfields is easy as not only does it have its own tube station (Northfields on the Piccadilly Line, with South Ealing a record close distance away), but both the E2 and E3 buses link the area with Chiswick, Ealing Broadway, Brentford, Acton, and Greenford.
Stop-and-shop bays (30-min) are widely available, and, on many side streets, parking is easy once you avoid the permit-holders-only times of 10-11am and 3-4pm, Mon-Fri.
As one of the 60-odd shopping parades in Ealing borough, this avenue deserves special attention because of its individuality and community aspect."
