About this property
Close to Greenwich and perfect for a family/ couples city break in London
Our bright and spacious two, double bedroom apartment is located in a quiet and friendly residential square just minutes away from the picturesque Blackheath village. Located one row back from the heath and traditional English pub, The Princess of Wales, you are perfectly located to explore London and the surrounding areas in Kent. Blackheath is a popular and desirable London village with an excellent choice of restaurants, bars, shops and a farmers market on Sunday.
After 7 minutes walk to the railway station you can be in Trafalgar Square and central London just 20 minutes later! As well as its closeness to Central London it is a 15 minute walk to the beautiful Greenwich Park, home to the Royal Observatory and the Queen's deer, with its panoramic views of London! Just another short walk from here is the centre of Greenwich with its historic buildings, museums, markets and boat trips on the river Thames. Greenwich Peninsula, home to the O2 arena and on the Jubilee Line, is just a short bus ride away from the village too. For corporate users we are within easy reach of the City and Docklands; London Bridge is only 15 minutes away by train and Lewisham is 5 minutes away with its connection to the Docklands Light Railway. London City Airport can be reached by taxi in 25 minutes.
Our clean and cosy maisonette is well equipped with everything you need to enjoy a city stay. It has a TV and DVD, high speed wireless internet connection, washing machine, fridge-freezer and ample cooking facilities. The sleeping arrangements would suit either two couples or a family group. There is a king size bed in bedroom one (which overlooks the communal gardens) and a king size bed in bedroom two, both with egyptian bed linen. We also can provide a single chair-bed (makes a proper single bed), a fold out bed (for a younger child), a travel cot (for older babies/ toddlers) and a crib (for small babies) . All bedroom curtains have blackout linings to ensure it is not too light in the mornings! We also have a high chair and a range of child/ baby friendly equipment. Our kitchen and separate, spacious lounge are very comfortable for family dining and relaxation. The lounge includes a small study area and bookcase with an array of books and tour guides.
Families will love this peaceful location close to London with its nearby heath, ideal for kite flying, ball games and cycle/scooter rides. Don't forget to keep your stale bread to feed the ducks and geese at the pond, a minute's walk away!There are parking spaces in the square and we are happy to provide permits at a small cost. We provide Oyster cards which you can top up and use on the trains, buses and underground to travel around London. We also have a picnic rug and balls which you can use on the heath or in Greenwich Park.
Check in and out times are negotiable. (When there are back-to-back bookings check out is 11am and check in is at 3pm.) For longer stays housekeeping can be arranged at an extra cost.
Our kitchen is very well equipped with a wide range of cooking equipment. We provide basics such as salt and pepper, oil and balsamic vinegar as well as washing up liquid!

We weren't sure about the neighborhood, but we were definitely impress about the amenities. The house is very cute and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed.
Great host and location. Quickly trip to the train station and you were in downtown London. Super clean and inviting house in a really quaint location. Had a great time.
Everything was great. The house is very clean and fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. The location is perfect if you travel by a car.

Thank you for your lovely review Sarah. I’m so pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back!
Excellent, comfortable accommodation in a great location. The flat which is very well furnished and equipped, is in a quiet area. Highly suitable for children as well as adults, it is charmingly decorated in a retro style with an incredibly helpful host. We had a most enjoyable stay and would highly recommend it and intend to use it again when visiting South East London.
The property was even nicer than in the photos! Lovely, quirky decor and great location! Would definitely use again, highly recommend. Great communication too with owner.
We really enjoyed our stay. The flat was adorable and comfortable. Easily accessible, we even came into Greenwich using the Uber boat.
If you are there on a Sunday be sure to find the Farmers Market in the village
My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in Blackheath. The home is cozy, comfy and location perfect for trips into London, just a short train ride. The neighborhood bakery a must! Claire was very helpful and responsive.
Quaint perfectly located flat with available parking in a fantastic location. Close to lovely Blackheath village with great restaurants bars and shops and the lovely heath with a duck pond at your doorstep. A short breezy walk to Greenwich park and the close by station made it perfect. Small bathroom but everything was fine. Great host.
Located in a quiet neighbourhood this 2 storey apartment was very handy for our weekend stay. The accommodation had everything we needed for a pleasant experience. Claire was extremely helpful and attentive throughout via message or email.
Claire is really nice. She respond quickly to questions. The flat is perfect. It is pratical, comfortable, clean and nicely decorated.
The shop, restaurants and the bakery are easely accessible and very good.
Claire was totally supportive prior to our arrival as well as during our stay. She even decorated with a small Christmas tree. She got back to us quickly and always answered any questions we had. The house is comfortable and located where you can access the trains and buses with a short walk.
Beautiful home , super comfy and cozy!!
Clean great beds , everything you need is provided! Great host , she definitely thought about everything. Nice area close to shopping
And train. Cutest little shops, try the local butcher
We would definitely stay here again, thank you, Claire !!
There aren't enough words to describe how much I enjoyed my stay at Claire and Alun's property. It is convenient to transportation. It's a short walk to Greenwich and all the shops and restaurants there. Everything that you would need for your stay is provided and Claire is extremely responsive to any concerns or request I might have. Next time, I am in London. I will be staying here again.
We did not realize that the apartment is on the 1st and second floor of the building, which for Americans is 2nd and 3rd floors.
We enjoyed our stay, and were able to get Ubers or the train to get around. My only complaint is that the bathroom really needs non-slip rugs for the floor and the tub.

Thank you for your review Nancy. I’m glad you found our place comfortable. We do have a non slip mat for the bath which is stored under the sink- I’m sorry you didn’t see it. We keep it there to keep things tidy.
We have traveled to London several times and this flat is by far the cleanest and quietest place we have stayed. It is cozy, comfortable and clean. Claire was wonderful to work with and checked on us upon arrival and accommodated our early arrival time as well. Her listing does state a separate clothes dryer but there wasn’t one in the flat.

Thank you Donna for your lovely review- much appreciated. It was a pleasure to host you. We do have a clothes airer that lives at the side of the wardrobe in the main bedroom but is a bit hidden by the curtain. I’m sorry you were unable to find it. Thank you for choosing our property and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
We liked the quietness and semi-rural feel of the location, the local pub was really nice, and the house is a charming retro delight. It takes a while to get into town by public transport or cab/uber from Blackheath, but the bus stop is very close by and it's an easy enough journey. The beds are super comfortable. Claire is a really helpful and communicative host, and is very approachable and kind.
I think Blackheath is a great location, in particular, for visiting the attractions of South London, such as the Maritime Museum, Tate Modern, and the Globe Theatre.
We live in Canada, but my wife is from around this area, so knows it very well. We needed a property close to our family, and this one was perfect. Clean and cosy, and in a perfect location to surrounding areas, trains, buses and Greenwich Park. If the second bed ( in one of the bedrooms had been a little larger (we have 2 adult children) that would have been perfect, Other than that it was just what we were looking for and Clare was on hand to answer any questions we had. We would definitely use the accommodation again.
This is a lovely base from which to explore London. The heath, Greenwich Park and Blackheath Village are all nearby. Buses, trains and water taxis provide a variety of ways to get into central London. The riverside walk from Greenwich to Tower Bridge is 27,000 steps (we did it).The apartment is spotlessly clean and the retro styling is lovely. A lot of thought has gone into making visitors comfortable and Claire (owner) is on hand if you need her. Great stay thanks.
Our stay was perfect. From the initial booking to the communication and organisation for our stay from Claire, And then the wonderful home that was waiting for us. It was warm welcoming spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. The location was great, we loved Blackheath and enjoyed a drink in the local pub, coffee and cake at Gail’s bakery, dinner at Zero degrees, and we used the cook shop for the night we arrived which was very convenient. The walk past the pond and across the heath and through Greenwich park was lovely. It was so easy to get around too. Great transport links. We visited Blackheath village, Greenwich village, the curry sark, the Royal observatory, the Tower of London and the Abba Arena for Abba voyage. Would love to stay again.
Sehr freundliche Vermieterin, liebevoll und bestens ausgestattet, sehr sauber, für Kleinkinder wirklich alles vorhanden, prima Lage am Greenwich Park, sehr zu empfehlen!
