Chic and cosy, this home in Eltham is a comfortable place to unwind after your London adventures. Although it's not in the city centre, New Eltham train station provides direct access to London Bridge, and there are lots of green spaces nearby that offer a breath of fresh air. Back home, exposed brick and leather sofas are the essence of inviting. Keen cooks will love the large kitchen, and there's a sweet garden where you can unwind on summer evenings. Just note that the only bathroom is en-suite, which may not suit everyone.

Home truths
The only bathroom here is en-suite, so those staying in the second bedroom will need access to the main suite. There is a separate WC, however.
Parking isn't provided, but a train station is within walking distance that has direct links to central London.
Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will want to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.
Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.
Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.

Local guide
About Eltham
Eltham is far from London, but it has good transport links into the city and is just a couple of miles from Greenwich town centre. Home to a thriving, residential community, Eltham is a picturesque town, ideal for some peace and quiet. The town is steeped in history and is populated by a lot of Tudor and Art Deco architecture. Henry VIII, one of Britain’s most notorious Kings, spent a lot of time at Eltham Palace and Gardens – today, you can visit the Palace and enjoy wondering around the immaculate grounds.
