Company info

Hi I am Francien! I love this great city I have called home for many years and enjoy discovering new places in it every day. I am originally from Indonesia and the travel bug is still strong in me as I love exploring new places and cultures. I visit Indonesia often and have had holidays in Germany, Jordan, Turkey, Spain, Italy, India, France, Sri Lanka, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Egypt and Portugal to name but a few. With Homestay I can continue to meet new people and learn of new places from the comfort of my home. I am happy to share my home and have lots of handy tips for you to make the most of your time and budget. Coco, the cat, is the permanent and main guest. She likes to be left alone. I invite you to come and stay with me . Please feel free to ask me any questions, practical or fun, to get the most out of your visit before and during your stay. "Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford" -a quote from Dr Samuel Johnson, English writer in 18th century - and it is still true today.

Overlooking the local park and playground, Holmewood Homestay is close to all the local amenities such as supermarkets, pubs, cafes and restaurants. And with direct routes to the centre of the city, this part of Brixton Hill boasts transport links to virtually anywhere in London. The vibrant areas of Brixton and Clapham are a short bus ride away, and the leafy locale of Dulwich village is nearby.

Guests can use the drawing room to relax after a busy day, and the kitchen for the free tea and coffee that provided. Coco, the cat, is very friendly but do not want to be touched.

Neighborhood info

Our neighbourhood is in the Borough of Lambeth, stretching from the South Bank of the river Thames to the suburbs of Streatham and Norwood. Lambeth is bursting with exciting attractions. Brixton, one of the borough's most multi-cultural areas has a thriving shopping centre and market. Its vibrant night-life makes it the heart of London's urban scene, and it also has the best live venue in London, the O2 Academy. Another part of the borough, Kennington, is famous for the Oval Cricket Ground, where county and test cricket matches are played. Famous local residents have included Charlie Chaplin - who was born in Kennington in 1889 and Vincent van Gogh who lived on Hackford Road from 1873 to 1874. There are 4 underground stations: Brixton, Clapham Common, Clapham North and Clapham South and 3 train stations: Brixton, Streatham Hill & Herne Hill. The bus stops are 200 meters away from the house and there are 15 buses to the most major stations and places of interest in West End and the City. Sainsbury's supermarket, a myriad corner shops, restaurants and cafes are in close proximity. Brockwell Park is a 15 minutes walk away and at its peak you can see the city skyline.
