Living with Host
Comfortable and well fitted rooms in a beautiful location with great transport links. Shared with other actors, technicians and creatives; and a super friendly and relaxed host (me!).
You have independent access to the accommodation meaning you can come and go as you please anytime day/night - really great if you're working late on shows!
In the day you also have access to the main building cafe, bar and seating areas where you can freely chill, work or enjoy a cuppa.
We have a range of different rooms with various decor, a large communal kitchen and a laundry facility which is free to use. Our basement rooms stay cool in summer and feel like an ensuite, the ground floor rooms have easy access to the kitchen and the top floor rooms have stunning views of London.
I live onsite and am here to make sure everyone is comfortable and well looked after. I'm here to fix things and help out if needed! Our digs are now open for Winter / Christmas / Panto bookings!

This was a great place to stay - Hiranya is a great communicator, and I enjoyed chatting to other residents in the shared kitchen. Combination locks give good security and no keys to lose! There's great coffee available in the theatre foyer and access into Central London is easy.

Absolutely great digs, perfect location, 20 minutes to get to my meetings and stuff, Asda literally round the corner and Clapham Junction Station. Kinda a hidden gem for me now, I’ll definitely be booking again without question when I have to visit the big smoke again. Thank you Daisy and Hiranya!
