“ I already wanted to come in July but chose a hotel in Hammersmith because of the better location (our next stop was in the Midlands). For the car it wasn't, but the underground in Zone 3 proves to be quite more expensive in hte rush hours. Anyway, I intend to return to Balham Lodge as service and... ”

“ staff were the most rude i ever met. the european receptionist did not offer help with luggage and just went back to his desk after handing the keys. when we spilled coffee accidentally, all the idiotic european lady on duty just threw a stack of tissues on our table and went back to her drink!... ”

“ Given that it's London, this B&B is great value for the cost. It's outside of the center, but that's fine if you're only sleeping there. It's easy to get to from the Balham station, which is about a 10 minute walk away. Breakfast was eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, cereal, yogurt, fruit, etc.... more ”

“ The hostel is located 10 minutes far from the Balham station and 20 mintutes far from the center of London. The breakfast is delicious and you can choose between continental or english breakfast. There is a little kitchen that you can use too. The hostel is a bit noisy but it's ok. ”

“ This B&B is a bit out of the way if you want to go to central London, but less than 10min walk from Balham subway station (Northern Line). Plus, the neighbourhood is really quiet, with lots of nice, uber-English houses. The staff is really what makes this place a winner, always cheerful and... more ”
