Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This charming and welcoming home is tastefully decorated with a consistent interior style that is both unique and personal. Your hosts are very warm and friendly and happen to take hospitality standards to the next level. London is a city of villages, and while Camberwell isn't considered a central London location, it's ideal for those travellers who want a peaceful locale, away from the hustle and bustle, and who want to experience more of the local London life. As Camberwell isn't on the tube, it flies under the radar for most visitors. Still, those willing to venture off the beaten track will be rewarded with access to a creative enclave full of artists, stunning Georgian townhouses and the most incredible collection of affordable yet excellent restaurants in London. Despite its lack of a Tube station, Camberwell still has excellent connections with the rest of the capital, courtesy of myriad bus routes and the Overground station at Denmark Hill.

It is home to a diverse multicultural community, numerous students from the nearby art school, as well as affluent families attracted by the large period townhouses that are slightly more affordable here than in...
