Living with Host
We provide a comfortable garden-facing double bedroom with its own toilet. On a mezzanine, quite separate to the rest of the house, it allows independence and privacy but you would always be welcome to make use of the kitchen and we want you to feel relaxed and at home.
We both work in education, and our two children are in primary school. The house is very quiet during daytime hours, and we all come together in the early evenings. At weekends we usually try to get out and about with our children.
Guest Parking
There is permit parking only, but free off road parking on weekends.
The Area and Transport
We are a welcoming family home in Camberwell, Zone Two. The home is a Victorian terrace located on a quiet dead-end street next to Myatt’s Fields Park, a peaceful London park with a cafe and bandstand. It has a strong community base, with bee keeping, a garden kitchen and yoga on offer in the park!
All amenities are easily accessible from our home, including cinemas, swimming pools and lots of great eating and drinking options. Oval has a farmer’s market on Saturdays, and Herne Hill an excellent one on Sundays.
We are within walking distance of Denmark Hill Station, and Loughborough Junction. We also have easy access to Brixton and Oval tube stations as well as many bus options to Central London.
Loughborough Junction Station - 10 mins walk
Brixton Station - 15 mins
Oval Underground - 20 mins
Denmark Hill Station - 20 mins

The map shows a general area to help you plan. We'll share the precise location after your booking is confirmed.
The Fischers are absolutely wonderful people: intelligent, warm and welcoming. Their house is located next to a lovely little park, a bit of a walk from shops. The bed is comfy, with an electric blanket (a lovely touch in England's chill). Just be aware it's an old house without good sound-proofing. Highly recommended if you don't mind the sound of kids playing ball or piano getting into your room early in the [REMOVED] and again from 16:30 on.

Richard and Saskia were wonderful hosts who gave me utmost privacy whilst being extremely welcoming, friendly and providing helpful information about the area. The room is lovely and spacious with a great view, and is situated on a peaceful street. I would not hesitate to stay there again, as it is a real home from home.
