Living with Host
Hello 👋
Our comfy and convenient home is a 3 bed maisonette owned by Joe & Aoife who work in the theatre industry. You will be sharing our friendly home with Joe, Aoife and their toddler Erin who is 2 and great craic! Our spare room is a spacious double and you will be sharing the use of the family bathroom . Any questions, please message us before booking. As well as the three bedrooms, there is a separate kitchen and living area at the back of the maisonette, which you are welcome to make full use of.
The transport links are excellent, with West End theatres being a c.30 min commute door-to-door. Catford has 2 stations, one on the Thameslink line and the other, South Eastern: It’s an 8 minute walk to Catford Bridge station which will have you in London Bridge in 11 mins, Waterloo East in 15, Charing Cross in 18 mins. Catford Station is 8 mins walk from our place with direct trains to Elephant and Castle, Blackfriars, and St. Pancras.
Paid on-street parking is available right outside, or there is free parking a short 5 minute walk away on Inchmery Road and surrounding streets. It costs c. £6.40 per day if you choose to park on Sangley Road itself, and it would need to be done through our Lewisham Council parking account. Just let us know if you would prefer that.
Catford itself has some funky new places which have opened up in recent years. Catford Mews is the local 2 screen cinema with bar and eateries, and The Duke of Catford pub as well as the Catford Constitutional. And there’s a lovely food market on the last Sunday of each month along the river beside Catford Bridge Station. A new rooftop bar has recently opened along Rushey Green, and there is a lovely yoga studio opposite Catford Mews.
No smoking or pets please. We’ve been hosts on TDB for 5+ years and have enjoyed having many lodgers stay with us in that time.
Any questions, please drop us a message before booking.

Beautiful family, a great place to stay. Bus into Lewisham every 3-5 minutes so great links with Catford station too. Great host, we’re always friendly and accommodating even with an extra guest at last minute. Would definitely come and stay again. Thank you!

Katie was a dream guest, who was always friendly, quiet (when tiptoeing in late from work) and extremely courteous, especially with our toddler :) Would recommend to other hosts without hesitation. You’re welcome back anytime, Katie :)
Aoife & Joe are fantastic hosts. Staying with them was home away from home. They are so accommodating and welcoming. The home was ideally located for my filming schedule. I will definitely book with them again.

Lovely flat situated in Catford, friendly hosts who work in the industry and understand the cons that come with it. Very understanding of space and so friendly! Erin there little one is a joy and fully enjoyed my stay! 15 mins to London Bridge and a short 10 min walk to station makes this a fantastic location to any place you need to go. For deffo would join again.

Thank you, Robyn! You’re very welcome back, anytime!
I had the most wonderful stay at Aoife’s place. Such a cosy and welcoming flat. Incredible convenient for trains and buses, the shops and a gorgeous yoga studio nearby.
Can highly recommend and would love to stay again!

It was so lovely having Sue to stay, and lovely to meet her before we headed away. She is the perfect guest, and left our flat in such immaculate condition, it was hard to believe she had been there at all! Would welcome you back anytime, Sue!
Staying with Aofie and Joe was welcoming and friendly. The bus route into Bromley is reliable and easy for traveling to the Churchill Theatre everyday at all hours! The house is only a 5 minute walk from the bus stop too. Very close to shops too!

A true delight to have John come and stay. Polite, friendly and very easy to get along with. We would welcome him back at any time.
I had a lovely time at Aoife’s. Really conveniently placed and a quick commute into central London. Both her and Joe were great hosts. I’d definitely recommend this place!

Really great communication too. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Aoife was the most welcoming and friendly host and her home is beautiful and cosy. Having spent a month in these digs I can confidently say the location is brilliant and the flat is a lovely place to unwind in after a long day. I highly recommend.

I had a lovely stay at Aoife's house. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and in a great area, perfect for The Broadway Theatre. Many thanks for welcoming me into your home!
