We live in a 4 bed house . Our home is in Essex, which is about 20 miles from the centre of London. The train which takes you direct into London is a 2min walk from our home, the journey takes 30mins. It is a quick and and easy journey and trains run every 30 mins.
The train also will take you to Southend which is a seaside resort with a lovely shopping centre. The beach is a 10min walk from the station and the prom has some lovely fish and chips to enjoy. Southend pier is the longest in the world and you can either walk to the end or take the mini train. Great fun.
We live a 5min walk from Lakeside shopping centre, which is a very large indoor shopping centre. There is a lake there with some fantastic restaurants. So is a great day out, you can shop till you drop.
Layton also offers a mobile service to the Cruise Terminal at Tilbury also Southend airport.

Teresa and Layton are so pretty nice people, they have a wonderful home and we have a lot of fun with them. We enjoy this time in London and if we travel to London again we would stay by Teresa and Layton again.

Teresa & Leyton are the best hosts you could ever wish to meet! How blessed we were to spend 5 fabulous nights with them & lovely Daisy dog!
Nothing is too much trouble. They are so kind, considerate & caring that it would be difficult to find better hosts!
Thank you Teresa & Leyton! You are the best!!!July 2016

Amazing place to stay. It was my first time staying in a home share and I was a little uneasy about the idea, but from the moment they opened the door I was made to feel so welcome and made to feel right at home. Their house is lovely and so is the area they live in. They are both very kind, generous and laid back. I would definitely stay again and would highly recomend staying there to anyone else. Thanks for the great stay.
