Degisim için önerdigimiz ev hakkinda

We both work in education and are therefore only able to do exchanges during UK school holidays. We have an exchange for Easter 2024 and summer 2024. We are now looking for exchanges for 2025. We also might be tempted to do a UK/European swap in the 2024 autumn half-term break (late October).

We live in the UK (South East) in Surrey, in a very safe, desirable area 17 minutes by fast train from central London (the train goes in to London Waterloo (South Bank) - this is the heart of London, right by the London Eye, Houses of Parliament & the River Thames). Door-to-door, you can be in central London in 40 minutes (walk to the train station and then train) or 30 minutes if you drive to the station car park/Surbiton). The South Bank is a fantastic part of London and you can walk from London Waterloo train station to lots of well known London attractions: https://www.visitlondon.com/things-to-do/london-areas/south-bank

Our house is Edwardian, built in 1909, 2 bedroom, semi-detached. We have a cosy living room, with log fire, and a dining room which backs on to the garden. The house is modern and bright. Our garden is south facing, so is very sunny in the summer. In our son's room there is a bunk bed, so it is suitable for two children or two additional adults (as the beds are full single size and very comfortable).

Please note that we are equally happy to swap with a couple who have grown up children or no children at all! We have a lovely 17 year old cat, who we adopted during lockdown. She is a lovely old girl, who loves sitting on laps and being made a fuss of. If you would rather not look after her, other arrangements can be made.

Semtimiz ve çevremiz hakkinda

We live 17 minutes by fast train from central London (London Waterloo & the South Bank) in a sought after quiet, suburban village in the county of Surrey. Surrey is extremely beautiful with lots of historical sites to explore including Hampton Court Palace which is a 10 minute drive. It's a very safe and desirable area to live in. The River Thames is a 15 minute walk away and there are some lovely walks and bike rides just a short distance away.

Wimbledon is just 12 minutes by train and Kingston-Upon-Thames a 5 minute drive away. This is not only a great base to explore London, but also the rest of South East England. Our local area (Elmbridge) is regularly voted as the best place to live in the UK. Surrey has many 'areas of outstanding natural beauty' too https://www.visitsurrey.com/explore/the-surrey-hills-area-of-outstanding-natural-beauty-aonb-p196531 The River Wey Navigation is also really beautiful, and you can either walk, cycle or kayak down the river/canals, pasting locks and wonderful scenery for miles (20 minute drive).

There is a huge amount to do both locally and obviously in London. We are a 2 minute walk from local shops, with two large supermarkets a 5 minute drive (or 15/20 minute walk) away. All of our neighbours are very friendly. Buses are very frequent (every 10-12 minutes) and go into bustling Kingston-Upon-Thames one way and Esher the other. The bus stop is a 2 minute walk away. You therefore do not need to hire a car.

With central London a 17 minute train ride away there is so much to do! Surrey is also an extremely beautiful county with a huge variety of things to do whether you want history & culture, beautiful walks, fantastic shopping or farms and theme parks to take children to. There are also many beautiful National Trust historic houses and gardens to visit. We are a two minute walk from a bus stop, with buses every 10-12 minutes. There are approximately six trains an hour into London from Surbiton station and of course you can get trains to the coast as well (or change at Clapham Junction).

For those with children: Chessington World of Adventures is a 10 minute drive, Thorpe Park (rollercoasters etc,) is 35 minutes, Legoland is a 45 minute drive, Hobbledown Farm is a 15 minutes drive or we have some lovely playgrounds just a short walk away.

Kew Gardens is 20-30 minutes by car, and there are many beautiful National Trust properties close by to visit.

Hampton Court Palace is a 10 minute drive away, along with Bushy and Richmond Royal Parks.

Surrey is an excellent base to also explore the South of England and the South Coast. For example, Brighton is only a 50 minute drive away.

There is so much to do in London that it isn't possible to list it all here! We will of course give you a list of our favourite places to visit in London and the surrounding areas.

We have had many wonderful houses swaps over the past 16 years. We have never had any issues on any of the house swaps we have done, as we will treat your house with respect & care and would look after your house as if it was our own. We also have excellent feedback in our virtual guestbook from previous houseswaps. We are very happy to look after pets as we love animals. If you don't want to look after our cat, we can look at moving her with family for the duration of your stay.
