| London needs no introduction, it has been voted the most popular city in Europe, with its cosmopolitan population and wide variety of theatres, restaurants, bars, historic buildings, museums, art galleries, parks and general night life. There is something for everyone in London; adults and children alike. Melrose House is a family run house in a traditionally built Victorian town house, with off street parking and is situated in a lovely leafy suburb only 15 minutes from the centre of London, close enough to be in the centre very quickly but far enough to escape from the noise and activity when desired. Of course, the other big advantage is that it is economical owing to the fact that you are not paying central London prices! |

Croydon is also a busy business area with plenty of restaurants, cinemas, theatres etc., with close proximity to Gatwick Airport, and Greenwich is famous for maritime history and the calculation of time, with a historic observatory, ancient ships, antique markets and village atmosphere. The famous Crystal Palace Park and Sports Centre is only 10 minutes walk from the house. The sports centre has swimming pools, gymnasiums, ball game areas etc. and numerous international sports events, and in the park there are boating and fishing lakes, a concert bowl (in the summer you can picnic by the lake and listen to a concert). The most famous feature of the park are its huge lifelike dinosaur statues. |
