Further details for this vacation house rental in London, United Kingdom

Private Square location with Spectacular views : The front of the property has suburb River views, there are no passing cars, no fumes etc., just tranquil tidal waters teaming with fish and wildlife. The occasional passing ship or cruise liner slowly sails by, as does the River bus on route every 15 minutes East to Greenwich or Westminster up river. Catch this at Canary Wharf Pier. The other side of the property has beautiful lawns in a communal Private Square filled with mature rose bushes, lawns, trees and seating, affording the most charming and private of holiday locations. Each house has it's own private parking reservation adjacent, which is free. EXCEL EXHIBITION CENTRE is close by and easily accessible by car or train. Other business attractions are the marbled HQ offices of World wide large financial Institutions, located at CANARY WHARF, within easy walking distance. The 02 ARENA is across the Thames, easily reachable via local trains. The famous Billingsgate Fish Market is nearby for the best catch of the day!

Restaurants: As would be expected given the close proximity to the City, there are plenty of excellent local restaurants to suit most palates. Nearby Billingsgate Fish Market ensures the very best of seafood for the public purchase and London restaurants. An excellent Indian Restaurant is within easy 5 minutes walking distance and WE HAVE NEGOTIATED A 10% DISCOUNT WHEN YOU BOOK FROM THE HOUSE. ALSO, A SECOND INDIAN RESTAURANT NEARBY AT SOUTH QUAY STATION ALSO ALLOWES 10% DISCOUNT TO OUR GUESTS, Plus a 3rd Restaurant. FULL DETAILS AND CARDS TO SHOW ON ARRIVAL, IN THE HOUSE. There is a local supermarket just 5 minutes walk from the house, which is open from 7.30am until 9.30pm. Plus, there are lots of local tourist attractions and a superb selection of speciality shops in nearby Canary Wharf. There are landscaped gardens with waterfalls and fountains, a very large selection of eateries and clothing shops. It's a very rich area teaming with financial traders who live and work in the area.

Getting around Town: With so much to see, we have excellent transport arrangements. Travelling around town is a breeze, literally. The River Bus operates during commuter hours and there's also the Central London Underground, particularly the Jubilee Line. So one can be wisked off to pastures new, in minutes. The house sits in Zone two of Central London, this is the cheapest zone on the Underground, thus, the cheapest ticket!

Cars in town aren't to be recommended and simply aren't necessary. Beware the congestion charge of £8.50 per day during business hours. So best leave it at home in our free off street private parking spot outside the property.

Review Submitted: July 24, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed at this charming townhouse in London early this month in July and found it to be all that we wanted it to be. Everything was well presented, we had documented information on local restaurants and the various travel options around town. Christine was very helpful and getting there was very easy with her directions. The welcome pack included foods for our children which was much appreciated.
We enjoyed most of the sights and have to return to complete the job as there is simply so much to explore. Certainly we would be like to return to "Riverside" as it represents an easy, comfortable and quiet location plus very good value for our money. Would certainly recommend it to others.

Review Submitted: August 23, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
I stayed at this charming London townhouse during May of this year. It was my second visit as I have found it to be comfortable and convenient. There were 4 of us in total and we all agreed that this quiet location was ideal for our purpose. We just walked to our Clients offices each day and took advantage of the discounted restaurant deal in the evenings.
I would certainly recommend this rental to others who were wanting a central and comfortable base whether they be there on business or pleasure. The owner Christine is very easy to deal with and everything has been just as she said it would be.

Romantic break in the Capital

winter family New York
Review Submitted: August 15, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My husband and I had a very good holiday in London recently. We found this house on the net and were very pleased to find that it was better than we expected. The house was clean, modern and bright. Well organised and everything was provided. The river provided us with constant fascination and interest that on occasion we just went out later in the day.
Canary Wharf was a short walk away and we travelled around town using our Oyster cards, which are excellent value. Late one night we came home on the bus from Leicester Square, everywhere was quite safe and the bus dropped us off right outside the Square in about 10 minutes travel time. The 02 Arena is a must even if you just want to eat at one of the restaurants there and feel part of everything.

Generally, we did the sights but would still like to return and would hope to stay at the lovely townhouse on the River Thames. Would certainly recommend it to others, its quiet, convenient for everywhere and being situated in a private square there was no busy traffic or fumes. Bliss!

Having a good time in London!

Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We stayed here during the first week of June 09 and had a wonderful time! The house is clean and fresh, very well organised for 6 people and has everything you would need. Indeed, the owner Christine had thought of everything to make our stay a very happy one. We walked to Canary Wharf at all hours which was easy and safe. Ample places to shop and eat nearby though. We used the underground our entire stay and it was good and cheap :) The view of the 02 Arena right across from the house was magical as was the balcony view of the passing ships. We had a great time and would surely return. We would certainly recommend this lovely townhouse to others.

Review Submitted: August 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had a wonderful time at Riverside and exploring London. One highlight was a matinee at the Globe to see "As you Like it". we walked the Thames path just about everyday, went to the Tate Modern, the National Portrait Gallery, were impressed with Canary Wharf,my sister and brother in-law remember the old docklands so it amazed them. we also walked Regents Park along the canal to Camden Locks. Saw the City and places we had worked, St.Pauls, the Tower, Trafalgar Sq.
and so many more places that we could fit in. It was indeed good to return each day to a comfortable welcoming place to rest. We can certainly recommend Riverside as a good place to stay and if we can return to London in the future we will hope to stay there.
