We offer a double room and a cosy single room in a relaxed family house in a quiet street in Loughborough Junction (between Camberwell and Brixton).
Brixton is a 15 minute walk/short bus ride away for the tube. We have a local overground station which gives easy access to Kings Cross St Pancras and Wimbledon (20 mins). There are also several bus services passing through.
We are myself, a teacher, a long-term lodger and three friendly cats. You are welcome to use the whole house, we have a large sitting room and smoking is allowed in the garden.

Amanda is a fantastic host, her cats are such a delight too! The room is sunny and spacious, quiet is respected but you're very welcomed! Location is fab for buses, great for Victoria and Lioness Line as well. Well connected, large local amenities within a 10-min walk. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you Amanda!
Amanda was a really welcoming and kind host. The room is fabulously clean, cosy and inviting. Great attention to detail. Loved walking to the nearby buzzy night streets. Handy for transport links.

Amanda’s place is great! She’s very welcoming and a joy to chat to. It’s a lovely home full of character with a lovely outdoor sanctuary to enjoy the summer nights in.

Thank you Adam!
Amanda was absolutely lovely, very welcoming, chatty, and genuinely interested in supporting those in the arts. The digs themselves feel more like a cosy library than a typical home, and the room was really comfortable.
I also discovered how easy it is to get around by bus (I'm usually a Tube guy!), and it only took about 30 minutes to get back from central London.
Great host, great house, great value. Thanks Amanda, hope to see you again!

Thank you Seb!
Amanda was a lovely welcoming, friendly host, who was alway great to chat to. Lovely bedroom with lots of space. Great garden and friendly cats. Excellent location, 5 minutes to a Thameslink station and 20 minutes to the Underground, lots of busses about 10 minutes away.
Would recommend and will be happy to stay again.

Thank you Sarah!
Amanda is warm and friendly, and was great to catch up after rehearsals and watch the olympics together. Her cats are also very cute and just as friendly. Short walk to and from the underground with regular trains to central London. Plenty of shops close by. Such a beautiful garden and room. Was a shame to be there for just one week but she was booked right the way through the rest of my rehearsal schedule, and quite right too ☺️
Thank you Amanda! X

Thank you Katie
Amanda’s house is lovely with beautiful plants all around it, It is very commutable being a short distance from the Thameslink train. Amanda was always up for a nice chat at the end of the day and had some really helpful recommendations for places to eat! The bath/ no standing shower (only a shower head) was very slightly annoying but I got used to it. A very friendly house with a nice, welcoming, safe feel to it. The cats were a delight as well!

Lovely host and lovely home. Amanda was great.
1st May 2022
Amanda is full of great chat and just lovely. The room was very clean and there was plenty of space in the fridge/kitchen cupboard. Great location too! There is no shower which is a consideration if you don’t like baths (no shower hose either).
16th Apr 2022

I had a wonderful, brief stay with Amanda. Terrific host - very welcoming, friendly and lovely to chat to. Comfy, cosy room. I hadn't spotted in the listing that there wasn't a shower or microwave, so was surprised but hope to stay again regardless!

I felt very welcomed by Amanda. Her house is homely and has two beatiful cats in a great location.
Only thing I would say missing for myself was a microwave, although it did make me cook fresh. Would definitley stay again. Thank you

The location was brilliant for travelling into central London.

Loved staying here with Amanda - very friendly and gracious host, lovely house in a great location.
28th Apr 2016
Lovely host and a very warm welcome and comfortable stay. Would have been useful to know that there wasn't a microwave and the shower wasn't wall-mounted - just because I made those assumptions. Good location with good transport options.
23rd Feb 2016
Amanda is friendly, inviting and just a great person! Her two cats are also the loves of my life. House was warm, good location and just felt at home. Would recommend this to anybody!
17th Feb 2016
Amanda was wonderfully welcoming and friendly, and the room was ideal, with a desk to work at and within easy reach of the theatre. Very reasonable price as well. My only niggle was the lack of a shower, but that's just my personal preference!
16th Feb 2016
Warm friendly house, with driveway AND free parking outside.
14th Feb 2016
Lovely guest.
Amanda is a lovely woman with two lovely cats! I needed to stay an extra week and she was very accommodating. I was greeted with a cuppa and a nice chat and I really felt at home.
The house is up the road from Loughborough Junction (Thames Link Zone 2) which goes to Bedford/Luton/St. Albans with major stops in London, plus buses to Brixton, Denmark Hill, Camberwell, Shoreditch, King's Cross and Clapham. Night buses too.
Was a great location for work (I worked in three different locations) and it was a great place to stay!
Would 100% recommend.
2nd Jan 2016
Wonderful room!
Amanda is a great hostess. If you are a cat lover this is the room for you because her sweet and friendly kitties will give you lovely cuddles.
10th Oct 2015
I stayed a year at this dig where I was welcomed by Amanda, Talia, and 2 very characterful felines called Dime and Nukat :)
The room is compact but cosy so you get a good night's sleep. Great location up the road from Loughborough Junction train station with buzzing Brixton just a stroll away. In the other direction Camberwell is a quick and quieter route to the supermarket, dry cleaners, etc.
The area is also very well served by buses via central London, the 35 via Monument and Liverpool Street station stops 5 minutes walk from the house. On Sundays you can wake to harmonious singing from the church next door, and there's a great Samba and Street dance scene locally.
A good choice for any artist which I highly recommend, especially for a first time stay as it's excellent value for money. Amanda is very helpful with anything you need to know about the area and is a creative soul to be around.
20th Jun 2015
I had a wonderful time staying with Amanda.
The room is small but very comfortable and the house is very nice, welcoming, feels very homely.
Amanda is a wonderful woman: I had some great chats with her.
Very much recommended!
7th Mar 2015
Was made to feel very welcome by Amanda, Talia and the cats!
Comfortable room, everything I needed.
Situated very close to Loughborough Junction station, so it was perfect for travelling to rehearsals everyday.
Would definitely stay again!
