Unique Selling Point: Localized food approach with seasonal menus

“This London B&B impressed me with its calm, family-run atmosphere, a welcome change so close to central attractions. I particularly like its proximity to Dulwich Picture Gallery and the fact that guests can easily reach the Houses of Parliament. The thoughtful breakfast options-including vegetarian and gluten-free choices-speak to their dedication to personalized service.”
