Information about the host

The best place in London to quarantine! So central that you don't need ever to take public transport: share a postcode with the Queen and walk everywhere or cycle ('city bikes' to rent on the next street). Self-check-in (so no need to meet hosts). Deep-clean, including carpets, with antiseptic products. After cleaning, the house is left vacant for three nights between rentals. Alcohol-based hand sanitiser and all toiletries provided.. The district is safe and delightful and quite like a village, despite being in the heart of London. .The apartment is light, airy, beautifully fitted out and situated in such a lovely house in such a beautiful street, that all our guests love it.

We are a couple who have worked mainly in the theatre and the arts, although Adrienne is now a writer/researcher specialising in fatherhood and Martin works as a communications coach. We have been renting out properties for almost 40 years.

Pimlico is a small, self-contained 'village', which sits between Chelsea and Westminster, on the River Thames. The street in which the house is located is in the sought-after ‘Pimlico Grid’ – a grid of residential streets laid down by the planner Thomas Cubitt beginning in 1825, and now protected as the Pimlico Conservation Area, and subject to elaborate traffic-flow-measures to inhibit through-traffic. Within the Pimlico Village, in the district of Westminster (Zone 1), the apartment is a few minutes’ walk from excellent supermarkets, some of them open 24/7 and wonderful restaurants. The transport links are amazing. There are taxis galore and you are under ten minutes’ walk to Victoria Mainline Station and to the nearest Underground (€˜Tube€™) station (Victoria Underground in Victoria Mainline Station). The best bus in London stops just before Victoria Station: the No24, which carries you past the Westminster Cathedral, and the Houses of Parliament.
