Living with Host
We offer a bright, spacious attic room with its own private bathroom and lovely views over Alexandra Palace. You have the entire top floor to yourself. Downstairs, guests can use our large kitchen-diner, which opens onto a big south-facing garden. The room has a double bed, sofa, wardrobe space and a small writing desk, making it ideal for visiting actors needing a quiet base in North London. We provide all bedlinen and towels. Although the room has a double bed, the accommodation is for single guests only, but we are happy for a friend or partner to stay occasionally with prior notice.

Parking on the street is free
The Area and Transport
We’re in a leafy, quiet part of North London (N8), ideal for performers who need easy access to the city and a peaceful place to rest. Central London is less than 30 minutes away: take the tube to Finsbury Park and a short bus ride to the house. The Alexandra Palace Theatre is our local theatre, and Park Theatre is next to the station at Finsbury Park. There’s a handy parade of shops at the end of the road, including an organic health-food store, and it’s a 10-minute walk into Crouch End with supermarkets, cafés, and two cinemas. Lovely walks lead from Alexandra Palace through Highgate Wood and, if you’re keen, on to Hampstead Heath

I was delighted to stay with John and Janet while going to theatre workshops at Scout Park. Their home is very warm and welcoming, just like they are. I truly enjoyed sharing dinners with them and talking about our many common interests, from art to politics.
The studio they share is located in the attic, which gives it a wonderful sense of privacy. It also has a large balcony overlooking the surrounding gardens, and the house itself is right next to a spacious park.
I was so grateful!

A lovely stay with Janet, it's a large bright room with balcony and desk. Next to a good park for running with shops nearby. Ensuite with powerful shower, comfy bed and good wifi. Easy to get into Central London. Recommended!

A lovely comfy stay whilst at Alexandra Palace. A brisk up hill walk or short bus ride up to the theatre.
Thank you.

I loved staying with Janet and John! The room is spacious and bright and comes with a private bathroom and a balcony with a lovely view. The hosts are welcoming and warm, and I got to learn about their fascinating work. The house is less than a 5 min walk from the bus, with a great connection to trains, there are plenty of shops nearby and Alexandra Palace is around the corner. It's a beautiful space in an area that has a bit of everything. Highly recommend!

Janet & John were always extremely welcoming and kind. The bedroom is spacious, clean, with a beautiful view from the window/ balcony. I felt completely safe both in their house and in the local area. Janet & John were able to strike a perfect balance of always being up for chat and knowing instinctively when I needed to work / be left to my own devices. From my bedroom window, I had a perfect view of the best firework display in London at Alexandra Palace. 10/10 would stay again!

Janet and John have been amazing hosts during my stay in their gorgeous home. I immediately felt very welcome and they were very understanding of my late working hours. They're always up for a chat but also happy to leave you to your own devices. The room is light and airy with beautiful views and was a lovely retreat from working in central London. I couldn't recommend anywhere more if you want a calm, private space to stay in London.
