How lucky I was to get to meet Helen and her beautiful, precious family. Their well-appointed home in South London is going to be very popular on PLU! The train station is easily within walking distance (though I did get a cab when I arrived with luggage, as it's uphill) and well-connected to the city. Please tell everyone I'm ready for them to come visit, Helen!

Helen has a beautiful home in SE London. Easy rail into central London - The home is very comfortable and spotlessly clean - a perfect place for exploring the capital. We were only there 3 nights but wished we could have stayed longer 😎😎Thanks Helen

We had a wonderful stay in Helen and Franks London home. A quick 8 minute walk takes you to Forrest Hill station where we could get into London. This was our second PLU swap to London, we re visited our favourite spots- Natural History Museum, Science Museum, St James Park, Harrods, Big Ben etc but also ventured to areas closer to their home- Maritime museum and Greenwich (£13 uber) and Crystal Palace dinosaurs ( 2 stops on train) with an amazing new playpark and the instagram hit Chatsworth bakery for Guinness cake. Waited 40 minutes in line and it was worth the wait! We caught a show in Southbank and took our boys to the Lego and M&Ms shop. We took full advantage of the London food scene- there are endless takeaways that can be ordered to their home, our favourite Dishoom arrived to their home in less than 15 minutes. We also had delicious pizza from Nonna Maria. It was great to have so much space and kids toys- our boys loved playing under the loft beds and riding on scooters in the garden. Oh and I must give a mention to their incredible coffee station! We had a wonderful visit to London- thank you Helen and Frank
