Our Neighbourhood

Lovely, friendly cafe nearby for breakfast or lunch.

Good selection of local cafes, pubs & restaurants in Lee and Blackheath.
Easy access by No. 202 bus to Blackheath Village, with it's many cafe's, restaurants and bars, and Greenwich, with a lovely walk across the heath and down through Greenwich park and village with it's many tourist attractions. Catch the ferry from there into central London - London Eye, South Bank & Westminster.
Eltham Palace is also accessible by bus or train and it's 30 min.s to London's West End (Charing Cross station).
Getting around
We're in Zone 3, SE12. It's 10 min.s walk to Lee train station and 20 min.s from there to central London (Charing Cross, Waterloo, London Bridge, Cannon Street stations). Hither Green and Blackheath stations are also easily accessible.
Bus routes to Blackheath, Greenwich Park, Lewisham, Catford, Bromley, Sidcup, Eltham are all nearby.
Eurostar: we are approximately 1 hour from St. Pancras station on public transport, travelling via London Bridge. An alternative option to consider is travelling to Ebbsfleet International and getting a local taxi from there.
Airports: Journey time is 1 to 2 hours, depending on airport, mode of transport and traffic. When availability permits, we offer pick-up and drop-off at airports, however this is for an additional charge and strictly by prior arrangement only. If this is not possible then we recommend and can provide details for local taxi services - they provide a good service and are cheaper than airport taxis and London black cabs.
Other things to note
We occasionally need access to the studio during the day time, mainly for any deliveries. You may also hear noise from our kitchen above in the morning and evening, but not too late. Other than that, we try not to disturb!
