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 in a great area of London.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful Home!

My family (2 children and 3 adults) recently spent 6 nights in Susan's beautiful home and had a wonderful experience. The house is gorgeous and exactly as described, and is in a great location with easy access to shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and public transport. Susan is a very thoughtful host that was easy to communicate with, and the check-in process was easy. We will definitely try to book Susan's home again if/when we visit London again!

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!

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!

If you want a place where you can feel like you are living like a Londoner, this is the place for you!! Susan's home is exactly what our family needed - with the right amount of bedrooms and TWO bathrooms!! We enjoyed everything about her beautiful home, in addition to the cute neighborhood it resides in. The park that is a few blocks away was a great place for our grandson to run off all his energy! And don't get me started on the nearby Ice Cream place! Susan was amazing to work with. We appreciated all of her responses and felt like she truly wanted us to have a great time!!! Thanks, Susan! We loved spending time in your beautiful home!

Dicht am Leben, aber dennoch sehr ruhig

Susans Haus ist super gelegen. In einer kleinen ruhigen Nebenstraße, dennoch ist man in 5 Minuten an der U-Bahn/ Tube. Das Haus ist komplett eingerichtet, es ist halt Susans Wohnhaus. Susan ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit, auch zu unmöglichen Zeiten, danke dafür. Ihre Restaurant Empfehlungen kann man guten Gewissens folgen, vor allem wenn man etwas Abseits des Tourismus Mainstreams in London unterwegs sein möchte. Danke.

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.
