General overview
We live in a large Edwardian house, dating back to the early 1900s so we have high ceilings, original fireplaces (one of which is a working fireplace). The house was built over 3 floors which means there's plenty of space which can be rare for a house so close to central London. We also have a 230ft garden which is also uncommon for where we are and perfect for lazy days in the sun, BBQs, using the hot tub and enjoying the wildlife (if the UK weather plays ball!)
The space
We have a large kitchen, dining room, living room and study on the ground floor. The living room leads out onto the garden. We have 3 'official' bedrooms but on the third floor there are two additional rooms (one with a sofa that we use as a den and one that we use as a study), both of which can be used as bedrooms - just let us know and we can arrange additional beds. We have a spare room which has a Peleton bike too.
Guest access
There are 3 floors, a toilet on each floor and one room has a small en suite shower room.
Notes
We are a 13 minute walk from the nearest tube station which is Totteridge and Whetstone. This is on the Northern Line and can have you in Leicester Square or Tottenham Court Road in 30 minutes.

Neighbourhood
We live in a leafy suburban part of London. There are lots of great restaurants on our high street and a large park, 5 minutes away.
Getting to my home
If you're coming from Europe, there are lots of direct flights to numerous London airports with Ryanair, EasyJet etc. Transatlantic flights will all go into London Heathrow or London Gatwick. Similarly, flights from Oz/Asia will also fly into the major hubs of Heathrow and Gatwick.
Nearest airport
Our closest airports are London Luton, London Stansted or London Heathrow. All are easily accessible, within an hour depending on traffic. London Gatwick is further, about 2 hours away with traffic but not impossible!
Getting around
Once here, the Tube is a brilliant way to get around London and we also have a bus stop right by our house.
