About this property

Spacious Family-Friendly 3BR 2BA London House +King Bed, 1-3min Walk to Tube+Bus

Spacious, bright and ideal for families, friends or couples. Walk to public transport in 1-3 minutes. Central London by Tube is 19 mins -- eg Waterloo, Leicester Square, Victoria -- for museums and main sites. Restaurants, cafes and sports facilities on your doorstep.

This 3-double bedroom, 2-bathroom London home offers flexible sleeping arrangements, two cozy living rooms, a home office, fast WiFi, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. All bedrooms have REAL beds with memory foam mattresses -- no sofa beds or Murphy beds -- for excellent rest and sleep.

Second living area means everyone gets their space to chill after city days. King Size bed in master suite, Queen Size Bed, Double Bed on floor below, plus extra single bed mattress for flexible sleeping/room sharing. (Air beds available on request.)

Easy 3-minute walk to the Tube (Clapham Common on the Northern Line) and a number of public bus lines 1-3 minutes walk from your front door. An overground train line, too. Clapham High Street station 4-mins walk (Windrush Line). All giving you fast access to the Natural History Museum, British Museum, Westminster, Covent Garden, Borough Market, Shoreditch, and more. Ride a classic red double-decker bus to Kensington, Hyde Park and Marble Arch for Piccadilly and Oxford Street.

If you're a cook, you'll enjoy a fully equipped kitchen - professional All-Clad cookware, microwave, double oven, gas stovetop - and open-plan dining with table that easily seats eight people.

For your convenience, the house has a full washer and dryer, and if you don't feel like cooking on vacation, stop as you exit the Tube at one of our many local pizza or US burger restaurants, pubs and cafes for dine-in or take-out.

For your sweet treats, Clapham Common is known for its coffee, cakes and pastries -- Lane Eight, Gail's, Trude's Deli -- and one of London's best ice-cream parlours, Nardulli. Three blocks from the house, you have one of London's best-loved parks (Clapham Common) for running, picnicking and bird-watching. Children's splash play area in summer!

My house is nestled on a quiet street but close to it all — unwind after sightseeing in a welcoming, sun-filled home.


Air beds also available on request.

Nice house with a homey feel, in a great area of London. Very conveniently located within a short walk of the Tube. Clapham is a lovely area with lots of pubs and restaurants, and Clapham Common is a large, beautiful park, perfect for long walks.

Family stay in London

Excellent location for a family stay in London. Easy access to the underground, the overground and busses. Beautiful Clapham Common is only a short walk away. Restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and supermarkets all within minutes. The property was very comfortable and spacious and Susan the host was warm, generous and provided us with lots of thoughtful recommendations for our stay. Cannot recommend highly enough and would love to stay here again.

Perfect neighborhood, Great host!

We loved this experience, start to finish. Location, neighborhood, communication- we had a wonderful time. Anything that went wrong was out of homeowner's control-- there was a systematic issue with the wifi that susan worked hard to fix, and it was a little unseasonably warm-- but that's a great problem to have in England in May.

This property is in a great location with good restaurants and shops. Very close to the tub station with easy access to wherever you want to go in London. Susan’s home was exactly what we were looking for. It had plenty of room for my family and we felt at home and safe there. The kids loved walking the local area and exploring.

Wonderful place!

Our family of 4 adults (kids aged 18 and 21) really enjoyed staying here. The owner, Susan, was always attentive to our needs; the property was clean and for an American family visiting London for the first time, we felt like we were in a safe place; and being close the the Underground was super convenient- only about 20 minutes and 1 or 2 stops from almost anywhere. The grocery store was super close, and we had almost everything we needed at our fingertips. I would highly recommend this home for families and people who want to be immersed in London culture.

A good spot in Clapham

A nice property in Clapham, in a great location - just off the High Street, good transport links via Northern Line, near the Common. Overall, the property was clean - but very full of the owner's belongings, which meant clearing out cupboards to make room for things. Otherwise, a great stay and definitely recommended.

Location and Charm!

This home is so unique and situated PERFECTLY for your family to enjoy time in and around London. We loved the space and location. Cost reflects the location and size of the home. The space was a little cluttered with family treasures, book collections, and unique (and breakable) art/furniture, so we had to be extra careful with our 4yr old. Items filling the house and kitchen/bathroom cabinets seemed older, and the indoor temperature was pretty cold during our April visit, so we huddled under blankets and sneezed a lot (because of temperature and dust?). But ultimately, the beds were so comfortable and the living space provided opportunity to spread out. Showers were warm and there were friendly neighbors. It was fun to pretend to live in London for a bit.

Amazing home in Clapham!

This home in Clapham was wonderful. The owner was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was easy to get in touch with before and during our stay and made sure everything was perfect. The home is just off the busy street so was very quiet but also close to everything one needed. It is an easy 5 minute walk to either the Clapham North or Clapham Common tube station. There are numerous places to eat out or to buy provisions within minutes of the home. Clapham Common and Battersea Park were both within a mile so easy to get to for a walk or run. The house itself was clean and well-stocked. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and hope to stay here again.

Five Stars

My family used Susan's home for 2 weeks over the Christmas holidays and we were extremely happy with our time there. The house was incredibly clean, warm and just perfect for our needs. The kitchen is well stocked for anyone who enjoys cooking and her home is in a neighborhood that is very quiet in the bedrooms for sleeping at night. In regards to Susan, she could not have been more helpful before, during and after our stay. She was incredibly communicative, responsive and she genuinely cared about our stay being comfortable. She made sure we did not need anything at all throughout the 2 weeks we were there which was very gracious of her. We will definitely consider her home as our number one place to stay for any future trips to London!

Cozy and Quint Family Home in a Great Neighborhood!

Wonderful home right in Clapham Commons with amazing access to all of the London sights! My husband and I and our three sons in their 20s were very comfortable with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms to share. The master at the top of the stairs had a lovely little reading nook, too. Local grocery and restaurants just steps away, but even with all the hustle and bustle and fun nightlife, there was no sound of it once we turned the corner to this home. And, we were able to get to all the tourist sites in the city quickly and easily from the Northern Line station only 3 minutes away at Clapham Commons. Susan was responsive and attentive, and had great suggestions on day trips and sights in the city. We highly recommend this VRBO home for anyone looking for a cozy neighborhood home in London!

Wonderful, eclectic house in Chapham Common

We loved this house. Clapham Common is a little off the beaten path, about 25 minutes to Central London by tube, but it's a wonderful, peaceful residential neighborhood with great pubs, a fantastic Saturday farmers market, and it's a bit of an escape from the hustle bustle of the city every day. We got a seven day travel card and did not really have to think about transportation. It's about a 3 1/2 to 4 minute walk to the Clapham common tube station. Several buses or a straight shot from where we ended our evenings and we simply took the bus home, four minute walk from bus station There are grocery stores, great coffee/cafés all with an easy walking distance. There are several restaurants on Venn Street, three minute walk from the house. We did take away one night, cooked one night (with the wonderful things we bought at the farmers market) and had great tapas one night, all in Clapham common. For a family of four with two adult kids, having three bedrooms was great. Having the second bathroom also made getting ready in the morning much easier. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Convenient location

Susan's home is in a great location for close access to restaurants and public transportation (buses and the underground). While the home was technically "clean," the amount of clutter and lived-in space made us feel like we were truly in someone else's space, which for us was a bit of an uncomfortable feeling. In addition, some things were not as listed in the description: there was no air conditioning (although opening the windows helped a lot) and there was no king-size bed. It also felt as if many things were in disrepair: the washing machine (which she did let me know about at the last minute, but would have been very inconvenient if we hadn't done our laundry at our previous stop), the handle on the garbage bin, the mirror in the master bath, etc. However, the location worked well as a place to stay in order to have easy London access and Susan was an attentive host, but the cluttered style wasn't a good fit for us personally.

Eclectic Home and Village

We were looking for a place where my family of five could chill after visiting London – without being in London Central. Susan's home was clean, but really needed a deep dive clean. There were a couple of stray hairs in the top bathroom and with all the items in the home it felt musty – like the books needed a good dusting. The beds were comfortable and exactly the size indicated. We were very happy to have use of the washer and dryer. There is not any A/C and only one standing fan was provided in the second bedroom. We had to sleep with the windows open in the 80 degree "heat wave" for London – it was pretty brutal. Having to sleep with the windows open provided the opportunity for us to listen to the nightlife which is very active in this location – there are bars about two blocks away whose lines went down the street to the front door of the home. We listened to the noise until well past 2 a.m. for two of our evenings. The location itself is great! Just be prepared for the nightlife – it isn't our thing, so it was a bit of an intrusion. The home itself, as someone stated, is filled with personal belongings. This didn't bother us, it was interesting to see their design style. What did bother us were two things: 1. the ceiling furr down is extremely low in the top floor bedroom above the king size bed. It matches the coloring of the walls and there isn't any edge painting or stripe to visually make you see it. One of our family members cracked his forehead on it and we sought medical attention. Be very aware of this. I would recommend marking it somehow to see the bottom edge visually. 2. Getting into and out of the upstairs shower. The glass door doesn't move and the open end is next to the toilet. You have to maneuver in about a 12 inch space around the toilet to get into the shower and maneuver out with wet feet. Be careful! Also, the towels were thread bare and scratchy. The other thing we missed was being able to gather downstairs and chill. There aren't couches or sofa for relaxing. We had to all sit at the dining room table or three of us could sit in a chair. A printer was listed as an amenity, but she said she didn't know how we could connect to it. No biggie. Again, the location is great! Super easy transportation to London's tourists sites. If you like the nightlife, it's apparently extremely popular. During the days it was a nice villageWe felt safe at all times. The farmers market and Clapham Common were great.

About the host

Hosted by Susan E

Host profile image
I'm a cook, writer, film-maker, website designer, mother and entrepreneur who loves Clapham Common for its urban village feel, big green spaces, cafes and restaurants, farmers market and easy walk to Tube, train and bus stops to get all over London. My family is half-American, half-British, and we love the amazing energy and culture of London with so many museums and art galleries.

Why they chose this property

I fell love with this house because it was so close to everything my kids and I needed--public transport, shops, park, cinema, cafes, restaurants (pizza, burgers, also fancy dining), doctor's surgery, post office, ice cream parlour.

What made my heart sing was all the light inside the house and the wooden floors and staircase built by the previous owner who was a master carpenter.

I picked the area to have a big green park nearby for running, also a sports centre a block away with two swimming pools, a full gym and exercise classes.

And it's only 20 mins by Tube to get to Borough Market, Leicester Square, and other central sites.

What makes this property unique

So close to shops, eateries and public transport but tucked away on a quiet side street. Clapham Common is a real London experience as lived by locals.
The house has three floors with large bedrooms, two living areas, and a home office with a sofa to relax on, so everyone has their space.
I've filled the house with original art and bright colours so it's a cheerful place to be -- a refuge after a day of sight-seeing.
