We live on a quiet road in North London near to the Archway and Highgate tube stations and bus routes in Zone 2. The double rooms are all large. Cereal, toast and tea or coffee is provided as a light breakfast but cooked breakfast can be provided at an extra cost, either Malaysian breakfast or western breakfast.
There are restaurants, fast food takeaways and shops in the area
Parking is available on the road but there is a two hour restriction, Monday to Friday between 10.00 am and 12.00 noon. During the restricted parking period there is metered parking in the area
Guests should note that this is only bed and breakfast accommodation and no kitchen, cooking, microwave or laundry facilities are available to guests. This suits the vast majority of our guests who are tourists visiting London for a short stay. Please note that if you want the comprehensive facilities of a more expensive self-contained flat this accommodation is not for you.

Colin and his wife are a very sweet couple who allowed me and my mom to have a great stay! They made the best croissants every morning, and when we had questions about using the tube, they were happy to assist us. The location is convenient for using the bus/train system, and it is also a very cute area. This is definitely a great place to stay!

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen und die Beiden waren sehr nett. Das Frühstückszeitfenster von 8.00 Uhr - 8.30 Uhr war uns etwas zu knapp, deshalb nur 4 Herzchen.

Brigitte did not mention she wanted breakfast at a different time but if she did ask, we would do our best to satisfy her request. However 99% of our guests are happy with our standard breakfast serving times

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
