Meet Michael
I can be good company, but the house is big enough for you to relax by yourself
On a typical day...
I have a very open house. My house is your house.
When I host guests...
I’m helpful and hands on. I can show them where to go and help them get there.

I live in the home so I'm around to offer advice and help to make the most of your visit.
I know what exhibitions are showing ( I'm a member of the Tate and Royal Academy of Arts galleries ) and how to get to all the major attractions London has to offer.
There lot's I enjoy closer to home. Greenwich for it's Park, the Royal Observatory, market and the Cutty Sark. Blackheath village for it's farmers market, restaurants and pubs. Stratford for the Olympic park and the enormous Westfield shopping centre.
I have a great list of favourite restaurants offering varying cuisine from traditional English to Malaysian, Indonesian, Eritrean, Indian , Japanese and French, all within 45 minutes of the home. In summer I like to barbecue and in the winter I cook tasty homemade meals.
I enjoy walking, I can guide you to local points of interest and some great views over the city.
There's a Lido 30 minutes from home if you want to swim and the gym I use is only a 15 minute walk.
