Viktorianisches Haus in Königs Greenwich mit Garten, kostenfreies Parken, kostenloser WiFi
Leben Sie wie ein echter Greenwich Londoner und genießen ruhigen Dorf das Leben in der pulsierenden Stadt.
Explorers 'Rest ist eine beliebte und charmante Zwei-Bett-viktorianischen Haus (circa 1890), die sechs in einem bequemen Doppelbett und einem bequemen Doppelstockbett schläft. Zwei zusätzliche einzelne Matratzen sind auch zur Verwendung auf dem Boden vorgesehen, falls erforderlich. Eine Kinderbett wird mitgeliefert, zusammen mit einem Hochstuhl und Sicherheit Tor für die Treppe. Gut erzogene Hunde sind herzlich willkommen.
Explorers 'Rest ist liebevoll vorbereitet, Sie erholen und entspannen nach einem langen Tag die Erkundung der Stadt zu helfen. Ausgestattet als Komplett Familie zu Hause, sollte Explorers 'Rest alles, was Sie so bequem in London zu sein, wie man es zu Hause zu haben.
Es befindet sich in London im grünen Stadtteil Royal Greenwich, beide Zentrum von London und der Landschaft Bedeutung mit dem Auto oder mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln leicht zu erreichen sind.
Nach einem erlebnisreichen Tag voller Entdeckungen, nach Hause kommen zu einem ruhigen viktorianischen Viertels und schließen Sie die Tür an der Londoner Trubel. Es ist Zeit, sich zu entspannen! Genießen Sie ein BBQ Picknick im eigenen Garten entspannen Sie bei einem Candle-Light-Bad in der Wanne, schlendern Sie durch die vielen Parks in alle Richtungen, gemütlich, die von den Arbeits Kamine, genießen Sie ein Buch aus einem der Bücherregale, oder genießen Sie einen Film aus der umfangreiche DVD-Sammlung.
Unsere Nachbarn sind ruhig und freundlich. Die Geschäfte sind bequem direkt um die Ecke. Der Spielbereich am Ende der Straße ist ein Liebling mit Kindern. Parks dehnen für Meilen in alle Richtungen. Aber das Beste ist, ist der öffentliche Verkehr zu allen touristischen Attraktionen Londons direkt vor der Tür, buchstäblich ein 30 Sekunden zu Fuß von der Haustür.
Sie brauchen nicht ein Auto, wenn Sie hier bleiben. Es gibt eine Bushaltestelle um die Ecke und wir sind nur 5-10 Minuten mit dem Bus von einem wichtigen Verkehrsknotenpunkt, die Sie schnell in alle Richtungen nehmen wird entweder mit dem Zug, Bus, Schiff oder DLR (Rohr, das über dem Boden läuft).
Allerdings, wenn Sie ein Auto haben, werden Sie kostenlose Parkplätze direkt vor der Haustür, die ziemlich schwierig, in London zu finden ist, zu genießen.
FAQ - Lebensmittel
Es gibt einen kleinen Costcutter (und Bäckerei und Metzgerei) an der Ecke, weniger als eine Minute zu Fuß entfernt. Es gibt auch einen Co-op fünf Minuten zu Fuß entfernt entlang des Parks. Noch mehr Auswahl gibt es eine enorme Tesco Extra-6-10 Minuten mit dem Bus in der Verkehrsknotenpunkt von Woolwich Arsenal, die meine Gäste nutzen, um ins Zentrum von London zu reisen.
FAQ - immer in der Mitte von London:
Erhalten Sie einfach den Bus (291) um die Ecke. Es ist etwa 30 Sekunden zu Fuß entfernt und kommt alle 10 Minuten. Entlang der Park von der Co-op gibt es auch zwei weitere Busse, die (51 und 53) übergeben, auch alle 10 Minuten ankommen.
Alle drei dieser Busse zu den Verkehrsknotenpunkt von Woolwich Arsenal in 6-10 Minuten und bringt Sie wieder vor dem Bahn / DLR-Station. Hier können Sie mit dem Zug oder der DLR zu bekommen. Der Zug ist schnell, aber ereignislos und der DLR ist wie das Rohr, aber es bewegt sich über dem Boden (oft über den Gebäuden), so dass Sie die Stadt zu sehen, wie Sie reisen. In beiden Fällen werden Sie im Zentrum von London in 20 bis 30 Minuten, je nachdem, welche Sender wählen. Ohne Änderung können Sie diese Stationen zu erreichen:
AUF DER BAHN:
- WATERLOO (für das London Eye, Aquarium, Southbank, Big Ben, Westminster, Big Ben, # 10 Downing, Imperial War Museum, die Tate Modern, Southbank Center)
- CHARING CROSS (zum Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Soho, West End, Covent Garden, Buckingham Palace, National Gallery, Oxford Street, Londons, das Savoy Hotel)
- Cannon Street (für London Bridge, St. Paulus, der Scherbe, Millennium Bridge, Shakespeares Globe Theatre, Borough Market, HMS Belfast)
AUF DER DLR:
- BANK (St. Paul Kathedrale, Leadenhall Market, Spittalfields Markt, Brick Lane, Fleet Street, Bankenviertel, Herzen der Stadt Meile)
- Tower Gateway (für Tower Bridge, Tower of London, St. Katherines Dock, Butlers Wharf)
Zusätzlich zu den oben genannten, einen der Busse (53), die übergeben meinem Haus geht den ganzen Weg nach Westminster / Horse Guards Parade - aber ich kann es nicht empfehlen für normale Reise (nur für die Erfahrung) - denn es dauert etwa eine Stunde durch den Verkehr und allen Haltestellen. Von Woolwich Arsenal, können Sie auch den Thames Clipper Boot-Service, der ein absolutes Muss an einem schönen Tag ist. Es gibt auch eine Vielzahl von Bussen, die Sie in Woolwich Arsenal bekommen können, die Sie ganz nach verschiedenen Richtungen stattfinden wird.
BESUCH DES LAND / Küste / FRANKREICH:
Es gibt einige brillante Küstengebieten zu überprüfen - alles innerhalb von 60 bis 90 min: Southend-on-sea, Margate, Herne Bay, Ramsgate, Broadstairs (Heimat von Charles Dickens) und Brighton. Sie können einen Tagesausflug machen und decken die meisten von ihnen in einem (sehr voll) Tag - oder entspannen Sie sich in nur ein, wenn Sie schauen, um zu entspannen.
Die Landschaft von Kent (und darüber hinaus) ist auch voller Spaß Orte zu entdecken und etwas näher als die Küste bei 20 bis 90 Minuten entfernt. Meine Empfehlungen sind: Cambridge, Rochester, Canterbury, Roggen, Sandwich (perfekt in der Zeit vergessen), Royal Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks und Chilham (absolut entzückend und winzig).
Windsor, Winchester und Oxford sind etwas weiter entfernt (ca. zwei Stunden), aber machbar und lohnt sich, wenn Sie Lust auf eine von ihnen sind.
Frankreich ist auch sehr einfach von hier aus für einen Tag oder Wochenendausflug über die Eurostar-Zug, der Fähre oder dem Eurotunnel (Übergänge sind etwas mehr als eine Stunde von der Forscher Rest) zugreifen. Alle Details werden in Ihrem Willkommenspaket ist.

Fabulous spot!
I stayed in this holiday home for a small number of nights and can wholeheartedly recommend it as an excellent spot for a romantic getaway in the wonderful city of London! The close proximity to parks and the vital east end of town make the location great. Attention to detail is clear in the furnishings and renovations. Fond memories of my nights here are largely thanks to the owner's hospitable graces! I very much look forward to the next opportunity I have to stay!

Fantastic house and location
This is a fantastic house to stay in.
Apart from being tastefully decorated and having a lot of soul, the location is great.
It's really close to public transports and amenities, and central London is within easy access. The garden is an oasis of peace in the hustle and bustle of London. The house is clean, modern, and cosy. The owner has done a stellar job of turning it into a home away from home for all who stay there. I have many happy memories of this house and I would absolutely love to stay there again. Highly recommended.
Antwort von VrboOwner am 1. Juli 2022
Thank you Agnes for your kind words - I spent many years bringing this house back from what some called 'the dead' :-) so it's lovely to know it's alive again and thoroughly enjoyed. I will be in touch when we're over your way. Perhaps you know of someone who may want to do a London/New Zealand house swap with us? Warm wishes, Krista.

A perfect home
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely and well equipped house in Woolwich very much. We felt at home right from the beginning and we could recommend Explorers Rest without doubt. The house has is a real rest - and after a long day out in London or Greenwich you could hide and relax. Krista is a very friendly host and although she was not in Woolwich everything was perfectly arranged - very personal and so much helpful information about the house and the area around. We would definitely come back again. Very warm regards from Germany.

Charming Victorian House
Charming mix of Victorian character and contemporary detail. Very welcoming and comfortable with everything one needs for a relaxing break. Lovely garden for those longsummer evenings. Main bedroom full of character, and second bedroom has a view over the garden.
Easy to reach central London and also historic Greenwich with the Maritime Museum and the famous painted ceiling at the Royal Naval College. Only three minutes walk from Plumstead Common and two minutes from local shops.
Would not hesitate to recommend it. I plan to return,

Restful holidays
We stayed in the house for 12 days with our three children (8, 9 and 10). It was very comfortable, clean and well-maintained. We really felt at home. The owner provided a very good customer service - there was a welcome book with lots of great informations about nice places to visit.
The area is very quiet and save. When we came back from the city of London we enjoyed the comfortable and quiet ambiance. Our children loved to play football in the nearby park. It was easy to go to the city of London. It only took about 20 minutes by bus and tube.

Dear Ralf and family,
I'm so pleased you enjoyed your holiday at Explorers' Rest - and I'm very pleased your children loved the parks; it's one of my favourite things about the area as well. I'm glad your trip home was safe and I hope you're all feeling nicely rested now. I'm sorry I was on holiday when you visited; I would very much have liked to meet you and your family. Next time... :-)
All the best,

Truly Amazing Holiday Rental
I travelled here on my first international trip and am truly delighted that we chose this location. Krista is more than acommodating, the house is exquisite, and the location is fantastic. From the first email she helped my friend and I with the trip and was extremely prompt in her replies. The house has all the ammenities that you need when renting a home. I was able to cook full meals here in comfort and felt like it was home when staying here. The beds are comfortable and the house is wonderfully decorated. The location is safe and near public transportation making it very easy to navigate to London's city centre. There is a quaint pub and a local market around the corner as well. This house and Krista are truly a delight, and I look forward to staying here again upon another trip to London!

Our best souvenirs of London!
We "lived" in this house for 15 days during Summer 2009. We were a couple studying English in London and we found this little hidden gem by chance.. actually we were really lucky!
What I enjoyed the most was the garden: big, nice, plenty of plants, quiet, the ideal place after a day in the busy London. The house is just perfect: clean, big, romantic, so well decorated! It has a personality, it was a real "love nest" for us.
We really appreciated Krista, she is a perfect host, she showed her house completely and left everything there: books & dvd were helpful for practicing our English.
If I had to come back to London I'd choose this place without doubts!!!

Clearly personal and heartfelt
We were on a month long odyssey of a trip and we started at Krista's place. It remains our favourite place. It is true it is a bit of hike from downtown London but the return "home" after the frenetic pace of central London helps you keep your sanity. We weren't there for one hour before my son said: "I don't know what it is but it really feels like home".
The kitchen had everything I needed to cook decent meals and it saved us loads of money on meals.
Krista clearly is very serious and thorough about ensuring your family has a great stay. We cannot recommend it highly enough. Trust us, you won't regret it.

Cozy Greenwich Home
This property was a lovely location; out of the hustle and bustle of busy London, but just close enough that all the tourist sites were not out of reach. The house was very clean and had just been renovated when we stayed here (December, 2010). The house has everything you could need as a vacationer. We took advantage of the fully-functioning kitchen and the cozy fireplace on a nice winter's evening. The owners were excellent and easy to contact/provided really detailed directions, easily reached by public transportation.
I would recommend this property to those who, at the end of a long day in London, just simply want to relax and unwind. We did not spend a lot of time in the actual area around the property itself, but as a Kent-resident, I have been to most of the sites in the Greenwich area on other occasions and they are all beautiful, peaceful and relaxing.
Antwort von VrboOwner am 1. Juli 2022
Thanks Dani, I'm really glad you had a good time. Beside the fireplace is also my 'special place' in the house so I'm really pleased you enjoyed it as well. You're welcome back any time! There's always a special discount for returning visitors and their friends. Cheers, Krista.

Home away from home
There are no words to describe how wonderful staying in this house was. Krista is an absolute GEM!! She is beyond helpful, beyond warm, beyond inviting, beyond everything!
Her house was just perfect! Very clean, and peaceful after a long day of exploring the wonders of England. Krista is so detailed, she has notes for everything; how to work the radiator, the shower, the front door, labels for every product in the kitchen, the pantry, the bathroom, etc.
Bottom line is - you will not go wrong with staying in this beautiful house. After meeting Krista and her husband, I feel I've made lifelong friends. I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip!

Home away from home
Explorers rest was a perfect home away from home for my family. I am so glad we found this place! Krista was so nice and easy to work with. She was thorough and fast and went over and beyond in answering my questions, from our first correspondence to the last.
After we arrived, we could tell that Krista put a lot of time and effort into this property to make it a comfortable and relaxing home away from home for her guests. The property was very clean (inside and out), well maintained and the neighborhood felt safe. The beds were very comfortable and the shower and amenities were wonderful. The kitchen was set up to make it very easy to cook meals. We enjoyed the tranquility explorers rest provided after a long day out in London. The public transportation was easy to navigate and there were a couple of shops close by for basics. We truly enjoyed our stay at explorers rest and would stay again.

Wonderful place to stay in South London
Dear Krista,
Last July, we had a wonderful holiday at your place. We stayed two weeks with our two very young children (2 and 5 years old), and we all loved your house !
Everything was perfect : the house was very clean and so well fitting ! We had the feeling to be "at home", and now our children are asking us to come back in Greenwich !!
It was also a good area to be : it was easy to travel to central london as well as to the south and the countryside. (free car park in the street in front of the house !)
We would like to recommend your place and would like to thank you for your welcome and your help during our stay. :-)
Next time we will stay in London, we will come back to your wonderful explorer's rest !!
Thank's from us four !

Amazing stay in London area!
My husband and I stayed in this wonderful home for a week. Every detail was just like in the pictures- from the lovely garden to the space saving kitchen to the artfully finished bedrooms. What the pictures cannot tell you is that Krista is a fantastic host! She has everything in her home labelled for ease of use; binders of maps and information; movies to watch and cd's to listen to- and Oyster cards to help us get on the train and tube! No hotel would ever do so much. The area around this home is convenient and the people are friendly. Greenwich itself was beautiful to explore and London was about a 20-30 minute transit trip away. This is the 4th time we have booked a "home away" spot- they were all great but Krista's attention to comfort, care and convenience makes this our #1 choice! Bravo- and can't wait to return!

Awesome, look forward to return visit!!!
To date we have stayed at Krista's on three seperate occassions and look forward to our next visit- Such a clean, cosy, comfy spot with easy access to the center of London or the countryside. She has great books and brocheurs that had us exploring places not on our list. Unlike other homes we have stayed, she had personal notes with extra information that made it so easy to know how to get everywhere easily. Maybe it is because she likes to travel herself, but she seems to know what visitors need. Just make sure you leave time at the end of the day to enjoy a nice wine in front of the fireplace. Also, I'm a morning person so loved taking my first coffee and a book into the garden- this time we had exceptional weather so 6:30 every morning that was my spot while my husband, the "chef" had fun creating our English breakfast. Great that the local "shops" are so handy and have everything you need!! Overall, delightful!!!!

Cute place, far from London...
The house is well maintained and you can tell the owners put a lot of thought into making it comfortable for visitors. The special touches like a welcome basket with a note as well as taking the time to spread Easter eggs over the house (since it was Easter time) for the kids was very lovely.
Just a note to those wanting to travel to London centre for the tourist attractions, this place is quite far away. It took us 2.5 hours just to get there from the airport (the Piccadilly line was closed and it was rush hour). It also took us a minimum of 53 minutes to get anywhere near London centre. With three exhausted kids after a day of sightseeing this was a bit frustrating. Downtown Royal Greenwich is also a 20 minute bus ride. The reviews about it being so close to everything is definitely misleading.
Michelle A.
Antwort von VrboOwner am 1. Juli 2022
What a shame this was your experience! I can only imagine it's because you arrived in London when St. Patrick's Day fell on Easter so the city was rammed. Not to mention, the Tube from Heathrow was, most unfortunately, not running when you arrived. What a headache! Sadly, with such an extensive transport network, this happens from time to time. Luckily, we have multiple transport options between my house and central London (bus, Tube, DLR, train, boat) so if one is down there is always another route to take. That said, even if transport had gone swimmingly well for you, had you contacted me prior to booking, I most certainly would have suggested you consider something in zones 1 or 2 (my house is in zone 4), as you were coming only for three nights and had a lot of attractions you wanted to visit in a very short space of time. In my opinion, my house is really best suited for those staying 5 or more nights and are happy to aim for 1-3 attractions per day, as travel from my front door to most attractions, given standard bus and Tube wait times is likely to take 45 minutes to an hour...though I personally find the time passes quickly, as there is so much of interest to see en route, especially if you travel by DLR, high above the city. But again, for the benefit of future guests, if you are only visiting London for a few nights, you will get the most from your visit by choosing a property in zones 1 or 2, which are the central part of the city where most attractions are located. My house is best suited to those who are happy to head out for the day, but then want to return home to a safe, quiet, and peaceful residential area to recoup after a hectic day in the noise and bustle of central London.

Truly adorable!
My husband and I wanted a 'real Londoners' experience on our holiday and were really pleased with our choice! We rented this charming little home for almost two months. You can imagine that we were a little worried since we had never seen it but it did not let us down! We loved every second of our time here. And it was such a heavenly treat to be able to have the back door open into the garden, just like home. The biggest thing we appreciated was being able to wander through all the green spaces around the house and not worry about any sort of crime...you can imagine that is a real treat for us. Krista made sure the place was cleaned once a week and the kitchen was so well stocked with cooking utensils, pots, pans, etc that we were as comfortable here as we were at home. I would go back in a heartbeat and so would my husband. I highly recommend this charming little home! In fact, I can't recommend it highly enough. You will feel wonderfully relaxed here.

Erika, it was lovely getting to know you while you were here. You were the perfect guests and it was lovely that you were able to make yourselves at home so easily. I hope you're enjoying your time back home again! Please don't hesitate to ask if we can help you out with anything London-related in the future. All the best, Krista.

The Perfect Way To Spend A London Holiday!
If you’re looking for a welcoming home to stay at during your London Holiday, look no further. As travelers who prefer to immerse ourselves in the culture we visit, Explorer’s Rest was the perfect place to stay during our travels in London. This lovely home—situated in a charming neighborhood in Greenwich—provides travelers with the care and comfort of a relaxing and beautiful Victorian flat.
Explorer’s Rest itself is lovely and enchanting. Throughout the picturesque home, we found helpful books, notebooks, and pamphlets on how to travel around London, as well as information on where to eat, shop, and explore the city. Additionally, small labels are located around the flat, which permitted us to navigate throughout the house easily. Books, DVD’s, and televisions filled the home, which enabled us to relax and enjoy our surroundings—especially after a busy day in London!
Staying at Explorer’s Rest allowed us to spend quality time together. As we reflected on our adventures in the city, we enjoyed a nice meal, and a relaxing cup of tea around the kitchen table. Furthermore, Krista’s kindness and wealth of knowledge is what truly made our journey to London special.
One could not ask for a better place.

A Fantastic Getaway!
Explorer's Rest is an absolutely lovely place to stay, whether you are looking for rest and relaxation, or want to explore the sights and sounds of London. Explorer's Rest has an ideal location in lovely Greenwich. You can take a leisurely tour through Greenwich and area, or hop onto a bus/train/DRL/boat and quickly and easily be in the heart of London. The location offers you the opportunity to experience the hustle and bustle of London, yet retire from and relax out of the crowded city at the end of the day.
Explorer's Rest is a beautiful, well-maintained, and tastefully decorated home. It has a warming and welcoming atmosphere, which was gratefully received after a long journey. I took full advantage of the kitchen, which had everything and more to enjoy a lovely meal and mulled wine with friends in the comfort and warmth of the kitchen. Each room is decorated in a way that makes each room unique and elegant. Movies, books, and other small touches ensure the house feels welcoming and comfortable.
I would highly recommend Explorer's Rest to anyone traveling or staying in the London/Greenwich area. You can travel at ease and peace of mind, with the unbeatable location and lovely condition of the house.

A place like home
We convey you glad tidings
About a beautiful country,
In that on my trip
We found a special place.
Old indeed, but reborn,
It holds explorers rest.
You open the door
To a different world.
No noise anymore
Midst the global city,
But softly scented air
Envelops you.
All kinds of furniture
And decoration are
Lovingly combined.
The way through the house
Is worth a journey for itself.
Again and again lovely things
Are discovered
On every step.
And not to forget:
I’d never slept
Better in my life
Than in this bed.
Kitchen and bathroom -
You’ll never miss anything,
If you stay for a short
Or a longer time.
The pretty garden and
Outside the near park,
Our dog was so happy
As he were at home.
In a few days
You can’t see all.
But now we know a place like home
To come back to for the next time.
-------------------------------------
A million times thank you,
Krista,
for everything you did for the house
and especially for us!
Love
Andrea and family
We stayed at Explorers Rest from 2011/09/02 till 2011/09/08

Hello Andrea,
Wow! It's wonderful to hear from you again after all this time! Thank you so kindly for your generous words - and our lovely visit while you were here. I tried a couple of the recipes from the cookbook you gave me from your region and they turned out very well. Erik was impressed.
I trust all is well with you and your family? Particularly with Kornelius? Please let me know how he's been getting on.
Happy New Year to you and your lovely family,
Krista

My dreams came to life here!
I can not say enough about this home away from home - except I didn't want to go home! Beyond the cleanliness, and beauty of the space, the feeling you get when you walk through the doors and throughout the rooms is what I have remembered most. The owner of the home has clearly filled this home with love, personality, and life. The location is perfect - a few minutes from the tube, a market, shops, and close to local pubs if you're looking for a pint :)
The owner of the home was absolutely lovely; friendly, warm, and generous are just three words I would use to describe her.
If you are looking for a breath of fresh air, this is the vacation spot for you - if you are looking for adventure and want a relaxing space to come home to - this is it. If you want tranquility, and to just relax with a book - take another look at that fireplace and garden; you've found it. The couch goes perfectly with a glass of wine, and the tub is great when filled with bubbles :)
From one traveller to another - don't miss out on this opportunity, because you'll never know what you've missed! I can't WAIT to go back!!! If you want to Do, See, and Live the Dream... you can stop dreaming and start living your own reality in this beautiful home away from home :)
Antwort von VrboOwner am 1. Juli 2022
Wow! When we chatted, I knew you were enjoying your time here - but I'm impressed with just how much! I've put many years of care into Explorers' Rest so it's really pleasing for me to see you enjoy it so much. It would be lovely to see you again if you're back visiting this way. Hi to the girls visiting with you! Warmest wishes, Krista.

the best holiday ever
We are a family with two boys; we have spent in the house two fantastic weeks in July 2011.
The property is absolutely perfect regarding everything. It's clean and tidy. You can find all you need since it's truly well organized. The house is extremely pleasant and the furniture is new and lovely. The garden is relaxing, well-kept and very nice. The location is fantastic; you can reach London easily but near the house there are shops and supermarkets, so that you can buy whatever you like. The neighbourhood is peaceful and safe; it's also good for children since you just have to cross the street and you find amazing enormous parks with enchanting trees. The property is definitely charming and the best thing is that you can experience living as English people do. This means that if you like travelling and learn different way of living you should experience a holiday with no hotels. You can reach the airports easily with no stress. The owner is kind, friendly and always prompt in providing you of everything you could ever need. I strongly recommend this property to anyone who wants to spend the most incredible holiday ever! We left there a part of our heart... Friendship we have found is even better than the best house we have ever rent.

Cristina and Stefano, it was wonderful to meet you! I loved our evening of pasta making - and I now know it must be rustica - not how I've always been making it!!! :-) We'll see you in Genova like you suggest - and certainly next summer when you come back. Keep in touch! Krista and Erik.
Über den Gastgeber
Zu Gast bei Krista Beauvais
My name is Krista, and I am the long-time owner and lover of Explorers’ Rest. Originally from Canada, I moved to the UK in 2002 and instantly fell in love with the character and history of Royal Greenwich. In 2005, I found this Victorian home—a little worn, a little forgotten, yet full of potential—and knew it was meant to be mine.
When I received the keys in early 2006, I walked inside, sat down on the floor, and cried - not out of regret, but out of the sheer scale of what lay ahead.
At twenty-seven, on a young teacher’s salary, I had bought the only home I could afford in the neighbourhood I loved… and it needed everything. I didn’t yet know how to plaster a wall, handle a drill, or manage a renovation, but I was determined to bring this beautiful house back to life.
Over the next several years, I rebuilt Explorers’ Rest piece by piece, supported by skilled friends and trusted professionals. What began as a daunting project slowly transformed into the charming, warm, and thoughtfully restored sanctuary it is today.
It holds my history (and that of those for more than a century before me!), my creativity, and my heart—and every detail reflects that.
When you step inside, I hope you feel the care and the quiet peace that fills this home. I’ve even left a photo album for you to enjoy, sharing the “before, during, and after” journey of its transformation.
A few years later, I moved in with my husband, Erik, a South African IT specialist who had also made London his home. As we began our life together, I wasn’t sure what to do with this house that meant so much to me. Because we both love travelling and staying in beautifully cared-for homes, I decided to open Explorers’ Rest to guests. Within days of listing it, bookings poured in—and hosting quickly became one of the joys of my life.
I look forward to meeting you!
Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft
Greenwich is a truly unique corner of London—close enough to embrace everything the city offers, yet peaceful enough to feel worlds away.
My little pocket of Greenwich, Plumstead Common, is, in my opinion, one of its rarest gems. The Common itself unfolds north of Explorers’ Rest and seamlessly connects to Winn’s Common, Rockcliffe Gardens, East Wickham Open Space, and the ancient beauty of Bostall Heath and Woods.
To the south, you’ll find Shrewsbury Park, Shooters Hill Golf Club, and the vast and historic Oxleas Woods - creating a continuous landscape of greenery that feels almost rural.
Surrounded by vast, varied parks, the area offers an exceptional expanse of walking and cycling paths, comparable to countryside rambling - yet we remain just ten minutes from a major transport hub with two Tube lines, a riverboat service, trains, and an extensive bus network.
The neighbourhood itself is warm and welcoming. Neighbours are friendly, gardens are generously sized, street parking is free, and - perhaps the greatest luxury of all - it is blissfully silent at night.
After a full day in Central London, returning home here feels deeply restorative. You’ll be greeted by leafy parks, foxes crossing paths at dusk, birdsong drifting through the morning air, and quiet gardens that invite you to slow down. The surrounding neighbourhoods, once distinct villages of charming Victorian homes, have been gracefully woven into London’s landscape as the city expanded.
I also love how effortlessly I can slip into true countryside from here. While I adore London’s vibrant heart, there is always a sense of calm and comfort when I return to the serenity of my Greenwich retreat at the end of each day.
I hope you too will find that this home and its surroundings invite the explorer in you to exhale, unwind, and settle into a deep and peaceful rest.
Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig
Creating a beautiful, welcoming space is one of my passions. I love selecting thoughtful touches, small comforts, and little surprises to make your stay memorable. I also enjoy connecting with guests, sharing recommendations, and helping you craft a holiday that feels personal, effortless, and special.
One of the rare luxuries of staying at Explorers’ Rest is the peace and quiet. Situated outside the busy tourist centre, there are no flight paths overhead, and the neighbourhood rests in calm silence at night - perfect for deep, restorative sleep. The private garden is equally tranquil, offering a serene spot to unwind, enjoy a cup of tea, or have your own picnic amidst greenery during the spring and summer months.
Practical comforts make your stay effortless: free parking right outside the door, shops just steps away, parks in every direction, and a bus stop around the corner provides convenient access to the rest of London without needing a car.
Inside, my home’s character shines through in features guests consistently love: the deep vintage metal bathtub, perfect for a soothing soak, and the gorgeous fireplace that creates a warm, cosy atmosphere for quiet evenings at home.
London has its rainy days, so I’ve thoughtfully stocked the house with some books, a new Smart TV, and a puzzle with puzzle board, ensuring even a stay-at-home afternoon feels enjoyable and relaxing.
Above all, each room exudes a gentle, enveloping energy to help you breathe, settle, and truly rest after days of exploring this remarkable city.
