Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Second floor apartment in Peckham, 10mins from Central London (London Bridge).
Our home is a beautiful 1 bedroom modern apartment. We have a large living/dining room with a kitchen and spacious family bathroom. There is a private balcony where you can eat outside in the summer. There is also a communal roof terrace with stunning views over the whole of London - we regularly get a takeaway pizza from Mamma Dough (across the street) and a bottle of bubbly and have dinner on the roof terrace.
Queens Road Peckham is on the Overground line and Southern Rail, which will take you into Central London (London Bridge) in just 10 minutes and trendy East London (Shoreditch, Dalston, Hoxton) in less than 30 minutes. The centre of Peckham - where you can find lovely bars and restaurants - is a 15 minute walk away or one stop on the train.
You can also access the South East of England with ease from Queens Road Peckham train station and make a day trip into Kent or Sussex.
The apartment is quiet and tranquil, with lots of sky from the balcony window - which is a treasure, given that it is less than 5 minutes from a train station, bus routes and main road!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood (Queens Road Peckham and Nunhead) is quiet, friendly and there is a sense of community. We are a short walk from Peckham and Camberwell which both have lovely bars, pubs, restaurants and art galleries. The Peckham park has a beautiful rose garden if you fancy a walk, or absorb history and wildlife in Nunhead Cemetery which has been turned into a nature reserve run by the local community, or walk to Telegraph Hill and witness an incredible view over the whole of London! You can hop on a train South to Beckenham Place where there is wild swimming, or catch a bus to Brockwell Lido for a swim in an outdoor pool.
