    The owner was very polite and responsive to any problems we had. She was quick to resolve any problem. The breakfast was very good and the people were so nice. It has 2 train stations nearby. One is a 7-minute walk, and the other is a 12-minute walk.

Company info

I love London and the history of the city, going to the theatre and reading about the city.

Property info

Melrose House is friendly and cosy with a feeling of the 19th century but with modern facilities. It is run by our family and our motto is " there are no strangers here only friends we have not met."

Neighborhood info

We are in a quiet part of London, very pretty with plenty of trees in our surrounding roads. We have several parks the most famous being the Crystal Palace Park where a huge palace of glass was built in 1981 with a dinosaur park surrounding it in the lakes and gardens. Sadly the palace was destroyed by fire but the park is still lovely.
