I would never have believed anywhere could be so relaxing yet so close to the hubbub and buzz of the city. Their wonderful apartment is in such an amazing location and has everything you could wish for in order to enjoy your stay. Everything is within a very short walk and all the transport links to get around London are very close indeed. Why not take in a different view of the city via an Uberboat trip or take a trip on the cable car over the Thames both just minutes away! Communication with John and Margaret was very easy, informative and helpful as was the comprehensive Home book and welcome letter waiting for me on my arrival. The secure Parking was very easy thanks to John's instructions and I would highly recommend an exchange with this delightful couple if you wish to visit London or just want a relaxing break. Thank you!

Read More...Staying in Margaret and John’s stylish waterfront apartment has been a pure delight - the efficient concierge team gave practical advice as well as a warm welcome. With magnificent views, the flat is well appointed and secure. Beyond the riverside walkways of the Peninsular, we were easily able to explore maritime history amidst the wide open spaces of Greenwich. All this as well as other local attractions such as Blackheath, the remarkable Eltham Palace, remodelled in Art Deco style, and the serendipitous proximity of the Olympic park with 50 m pool - only 20 minutes drive. Limitless cultural delights in town were made safely accessible by the fast Thames Clipper boat service, a few minutes walk away. The setting and amenities have made this a memorable exchange for which we are truly grateful. Marcus and Deb

The great view from the living / dining room was magnetizing. We felt very well in this spacious apartment as Margaret & John prepared it so well for their visitors. A big thank you to you both for giving us the chance for a wonderful week in London and surrounding and that you left our own house in perfect condition. Dieter & Elisabeth

Read More...We had a very good stay in Margaret and Johns corner-apartment with nice views overlooking the modern Victoria Docks, close to the O2 dome and Emirates gondola and in the near vicinity to Canary Wharf and Greenwich and Londo City Airport. The DLR metro took us swiftly to the Tower of London or City of London and connected very well to the tubes. We also enjoyed taking the river ferries on the Thames. There are a number of eateries close by, as well as a grocery in the same building. Margaret and John left our apartment on Oslo as if no one had been there! We certainly can recommend the exchange!

Welcome to our home!
Our apartment is the perfect home-away-from-home for a couple who want to visit London in style. We live on the 10th floor of a prestigious apartment building right on the River Thames at North Greenwich. We have a 24/7 concierge and the building is very modern and secure.
We are about a six or seven minute walk to the nearest Underground station (Jubillee Line, Zone 2), and from there, you are less than 15 minutes to central London. It couldn’t be easier.
Apart from the magnificent views of the river and the city from our apartment, we are less than a two minute (undercover) walk to the world famous O2 Entertainment Centre. Have a look at this short Youtube video. At the six second mark, you will see our apartment building next to the dome. “The O2 is home to the world’s most popular music, sport and entertainment events, and so much more, with over 30 restaurants and bars.”
If you want something a little quieter, spend some time walking along the river. You will have no shortage of things to see and do. Head east a little way and you will find the cable car that crosses the river or the ferry going into the city. If you’re feeling like a longer walk along the river, head towards Greenwich village and enjoy all that this wonderful place has to offer; great pubs, historic buildings, famous ships, the home of Greenwich Mean Time, a tunnel under the Thames River to the other side and much more.
At the end of the day, spend some time on our balcony with a glass of your favourite beverage and enjoy the boats and ships going up and down the Thames as well as the hundreds of birds that live around the river, including seagulls, ducks, geese, herons, cormorants and many others.
Although we are right on the doorstop of everything London has to offer, our apartment is amazingly quiet and peaceful. We have one bedroom with a double bed and an ensuite bathroom and another room in which you can relax, as well as a second bathroom, living room with a 65” TV and a modern kitchen, all in air-conditioned comfort.
Please be aware that our apartment is not suitable for children.
If our home is of interest to you, please write to us and let’s see if we can agree an exchange. We will reply to all messages.
