London has so much to offer, from the sights, to theatre, museums, the Royal parks, and an incredible range of food offerings. And almost everything can be reached within 30-45 mins from the house.

Doing a house swap means you don’t need to eat out all the time. We have a Sainsbury’s garage minutes from the house for your pint of milk/quick food shop. The nightingale patisserie sells the most amazing morning pastries and cakes. We have a bbq in the back garden you are welcome to use as well as a very well equipped kitchen.

Then for those days you can’t be bothered to cook, there are so many family and dog friendly pubs, cafes and restaurants as you walk towards Balham or Clapham. We will happily share a list of our favourites. From cheap and cheerful to more high end.
