Living with Host
The Stanlake is near good transport links for the West End. We are all used to the funny hours people need to keep during performance and rehearsal and that is not a problem at all. The rooms have blackout curtains so sleeping during the day after a late night is not a problem either.
Guest Parking
The parking round here is pay and display and its 9 in the morning until 9.00 at night because of Westfield shopping centre. The best thing to do if you need to bring a car is to park out in Perivale and catch the Central Line into White City until you need to get to your car again. The parking here is expensive for every day and there are no alternatives unless you park in the shopping centre? Not cheap either!!
The Area and Transport
Its a real home, welcoming warm, friendly and comfortable.
Included amenities

This space is shared with 1 Host and 3 other paying Guests.
The rooms are private but the doors are not fitted with locks, that has never been a problem, everyone who has stayed here has been very respectful of others in every way. It's a family home and we are all part of that family
. We share the kitchen upstairs, the one downstairs is more private but accessible from up upstairs in emergencies - like frantic packing for a flights the next day :-)
There is a big workroom which is mainly used by the host but can be shared on requests for business Zooms and the occasional costume cutting, - nice big cutting table - when needed.

I loved my stay in Jane's house, she was such a warm and welcoming host and had everything that I would need. The whole house is beautiful and my room (the small double) was perfect. I've already booked to come back! Thank you Jane x
16th Apr 2026
What an amazing home! Jane was so so welcoming and friendly and joyous to chat with. Her lodger Louise is super friendly and lovely. The home is beautiful, right round the corner from Shepherd’s Bush Market station, near lots of food shops and options, easy access all around, kitchen is amazing, bathroom like something from a posh hotel and the decor and atmosphere of the house was absolutely gorgeous. Going on my list for places I’d love to return to when I work in London! Thanks so much Jane!X
2nd Apr 2026
Wow what a lot of lovely comments thank you!! Yes hopefully your show will be HUGE SUCCESS and you will be back. It would be lovely to see you again, good luck with everything!!xxx
I will miss this place and the experience of meeting Jane, an amazing host, with such a beautiful energy and caring nature. Just perfect in every possible way!
1st Mar 2026
It was absolutely lovely having Lorena to stay and she says she might come back one day, I hope she does! such a warm vibrant person to have around the house, fabulous!
Just perfect. Thank you so much Jane x
12th Jan 2026
Lovely to see you again so if I am still here next year,……………you are always welcome!!
Jane's home is perfect in so many ways. The location is ideal for access to central London with the Circle line just a 3 minute walk away. I've also never known a quieter road in the capital with virtually no traffic going past at night! The house is peaceful and, although I'm not always a natural socialiser after work it was a joy to bump into Jane or her lodger Louise!
Jane is super friendly and accommodating. I've found my new favourite place to stay in London if ever a room is free!

Everything about this house is wonderful x
5th Aug 2025
I had the most wonderful stay here. The house was gorgeous with excellent facilities, and it was a fairly easy commute to work at Dance Attic Rehearsal Studio (I alternated between taking the nearby tube and walking, walking took about 40 minutes). Jane herself is a delight and I greatly enjoyed getting to have a chat and glass of wine in the evenings. Even in the summer heatwave it was a perfect place for my stay, and I hope I get to stay again if I get more work in London.

Harry you are welcome back anytime!!!x
Jane’s place is wonderful and I was made to feel instantly at home. There is everything that you could need for a comfortable stay and it is very comfortable indeed. Convenient for transport links and just a 30 minute walk to Opera Holland Park. Hopefully I will be back again!
3rd Jul 2025
Comfortable room in a lovely home, very friendly and welcoming host, would recommend and would stay again.
Easy walk to opera Holland Park and very close to Shepherd’s Bush Market station.
Room was very hot at night this June and was grateful for the fan provided!
30th Jun 2025
April was so lovely and easy going, great to have around!! I am not sure any fan could stand up to this June but it did its best! :-) April is welcome to come and stay again anytime, hot or cold weather, it would be great to see her!
Excellent location on a very beneficial spot among other places within the city. Amazing house with lots of space and a very comfortable bedroom. Jane Ripley is the sweetest, friendliest, most caring and compassionate host anyone could ever get, in addition to very fun and joyous housemates making an atmosphere that makes it feel like a family. I would fully recommend it to anybody who is looking for a room to rent and a place to live.
16th Apr 2025
Jane is literally the BEST. I have never been happier x
13th Mar 2025
I had a wonderful time at Jane’s for a week whilst I was in tech. Jane is very kind and welcoming, I was made to feel right at home. A lovely refuge after long days in the theatre! And a walkable distance into Hammersmith. Thank you Jane for a great stay and some lovely chats!

Jane, our landlady, is such a lovely, interesting and kind person. We had a wonderful time with her and in her house. The two rooms, including the bathroom, were cozy and fantastic!

What shall I say? Everything was amazing!

I had the best digs stay I've ever had here. Jane is a lovely host who is very friendly and welcoming. The house is lovely and very spacious. I stayed in the 'Main Double bedroom', the room was large with lots of storage, very clean and the bed was super comfy. The house is located only a short walk away from Shepherds Bush Market tube station which is really useful.
Thank you for such a good stay Jane! If I'm ever working in London again I'd love to book to stay again!
23rd Sep 2024

Jane is the perfect host, the rooms are all so clean and spacious with loads of natural light.
Jane is one of the kindest souls ive ever met, ive rebooked already.
If there is ever an available room ( which I doubt as the value is incredible) book immediately you will not regret it.
Thanks for everything Jane and see you soon! X
28th Jul 2024
Absolutely beautiful digs. Glorious host! Jane is super friendly, had some lovely chats but she also respected when I needed to get on. Lovely room with comfy bed. Beautiful bathroom! I wish I had time to use the roll top bath! Super quick commute to the Eventim Apollo. A stones throw from the tube. Thank you so much for a great stay.
21st Jul 2024
You are most welcome Antony I am glad you enjoyed being in my house and it was lovely to have you come for your brief stay. I hope the rest of your run goes well and you survive it, I really don't know how you maintain such dedication , perseverance and energy! Good luck with everything! very best wishes, Jane
Jane is an absolute gem. This was my first time using theatre digs so I was a little apprehensive, but Jane made me feel so welcome. Will definitely look to stay again.
Easy transport links to anywhere in the city via busses or short walks to the circle or central tube lines. Lovely clean room with sheets changed weekly and a really homely atmosphere. Without resorting to cliches, it was really a home away from home. I cannot recommend a stay with Jane at the Stanlake enough.
9th Jul 2024
Joe was a wonderful easy going cheerful person to have around and just a really lovely person to hang out with. Joe you are welcome back anytime it will be a real pleasure to have you come and stay again and do keep in touch and let me know what you are in next so I can get tickets!!!
Jane is an amazing host! Very friendly and accommodating. Makes you feel like home away from home. The house itself is wonderful, sunny, spacious, clean and well kept. Certainly one of the best places I've ever stayed in through Theatre Digs Booker. Highly recommend!
2nd Jun 2024

Jane is an amazing host allowing all her guests to feel so welcome. A clean and tidy home, in a great location, allowed for an easy stay. I highly recommend Jane as a super host and a friend :))
25th Jul 2023
Had a dream staying with Jane, a real home away from home! Jane is a delight - warm, friendly, and always up for a chat. Her home is beautiful and cosy.
I felt so welcomed and accepted, able to truly make myself comfortable. I hope to stay again!
13th Jul 2023
