Location
About the surrounding area of Regency HouseLocated south of the River Thames, Regency House is within walking distance of three stations, including New Cross Gate, Queens Road and South Bermondsey. A bus stop opposite will transport you to London Bridge for the Tower of London, Borough Market and the Shard.
Borough Market is a famous and vibrant market in Southwark, close to London Bridge and Southwark Cathedral. Originally it was established as a trading hub for farmers, traders, and merchants to sell their goods. Today this bustling market is famous for its fresh produce, including fruit and vegetables, fish, meat, and gourmet cheeses. Visiting this famous market is a shopping experience and a sensory delight. The vibrant atmosphere, the aromas of freshly cooked food and the opportunity to sample a plethora of gourmet products make it a food lover's paradise.
The Tower of London is a historic castle and fortress on the river Thames's north bank. It is one of the city's most iconic landmarks and has a rich and fascinating history spanning over a thousand years. The Tower has served various purposes throughout history, including as a royal residence, a prison, an armoury, a treasury, and a menagerie. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a major tourist attraction.
Construction began in 1066, shortly after William's conquest of England, and was completed around 1100. The Tower's primary purpose was to assert William's dominance over London and symbolise Norman power. Over the centuries, The Tower underwent several expansions and modifications by successive monarchs transforming it into a complex of buildings and fortifications.
One of the Tower's most notorious functions was as a prison. Some of the Tower's famous prisoners include Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, and Lady Jane Grey, who was briefly declared Queen of England. Throughout its history, the Tower has functioned as an armoury, housing a vast collection of weapons, armour, and military equipment. The Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom have been kept at the Tower of London since the 17th century. They are displayed in the Jewel House, which is heavily guarded and is a popular attraction for tourists.
Just a ten minute drive from Regency House is the historic and charming town of Greenwich offering a wealth of attractions. The town has a rich maritime heritage and is home to the Old Royal Naval College, originally a hospital for sailors designed by Sir Christopher Wren.
Greenwich is the birthplace of the Prime Meridian, which divides the Eastern and Western Hemispheres and marks the starting point for measuring time zones around the world. You can stand on the Greenwich Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory and have one foot in the Eastern Hemisphere and the other in the Western Hemisphere.
Astronomy enthusiasts would not want to miss The Royal Observatory. Here, you can learn about the discoveries of famous astronomers and explore exhibits related to space and time. Because of its convenient location on the banks of the river Thames, Greenwich is an excellent starting point for taking boat trips or river cruises, allowing you to see London's famous landmarks from the water.
Regency House is within walking distance of many convenience stores, pubs and restaurants. With so many good transport links to the South Bank, the West End and the City, the whole of London and its hundreds of restaurants, theatres and iconic attractions will be open to you.

Nestled alongside the meandering River Thames, London seamlessly blends tradition, innovation and entertainment, inviting you to join the fun. So, book an Oliver’s Travels luxury pad and let the adventure begin!
Buckingham Palace, home to the British monarch, is a symbol of grandeur and tradition. You are invited to the Changing of the Guard ceremony, the hottest ticket in town. Red-coated soldiers, military bands and a regal atmosphere, it is a quintessential London experience that will have you feeling like royalty in no time.
Just a skip and a jump away, you will discover the Houses of Parliament. Big Ben, their time-keeping maestro, is the star of the show, with its towering clock face eternally reminding everyone that time flies when you are having fun in London. Next door, Westminster Abbey is the Gothic VIP section, hosting royal weddings, coronations and the final resting place of the who’s who of British history.
The River Thames looks so pretty at night. Tower Bridge, the city's showstopper, with its neo-Gothic towers and suspended walkways, opens up like a welcoming embrace for passing ships. The views are so breathtaking you will be glad of the front row seat.
The South Bank of the Thames offers the Tate Modern, once a power station, now a contemporary art playground and an impressive visual feast. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a time machine, whisking you back to the Elizabethan era with performances that will make you laugh, cry and wonder why ruffs ever went out of style.
For the fancy folk who like a touch of class, the West End is calling. The Royal Opera House, where drama meets elegance, and Piccadilly Circus, where lights meet excitement promise a theatrical cocktail of opera, drama, musicals and comedy, the kind of party you will not forget.
London's neighbourhoods are like the cool kids in this global bash. Shoreditch, the hipster haven, is decked out in street art, trendy boutiques and a nightlife that will keep you dancing until dawn. Camden, the alternative kaleidoscope, is a treasure trove of eclectic finds while Chelsea is super cool and super sophisticated.
London has you covered with green spaces that are like chill-out zones for the soul. Hyde Park, with its sprawling lawns and serene lakes, invites you to kick back and relax. Regent's Park and Hampstead Heath offer postcard-worthy views that will make you the envy of your Instagram followers.

These include Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. Did you know the London Eye has thirty-two pods, each representing one of London's thirty-two boroughs? It takes approximately thirty minutes and will give you an ever-changing perspective of London.
The British Museum was founded in 1753 and has an impressive collection covering two million years of history! Kids will enjoy the ancient and modern cultural treasures, all under one roof. Highlights include Egyptian mummies, the Rosetta Stone and Parthenon Sculptures.

TOP SHELF
So much to say! To begin with communication was fast and so informative. Any questions I asked was answered almost immediately. It had to describe the house I would say TOP SHELF! They offered the best of everything. When we first arrived we noticed that the refrigerator was stocked with soft drinks, coke etc, tonic, bloodymary mix, chocolates etc... the pantry has all kinds of spices, foods etc, tall wine cooler stocked with water, beer, champagne etc.. I was a little confused at first cause I've never seen that much in the house and wasn't sure how to handle that. I contacted them right away and they said feel free to use anything you'd like and feel free to leave any unopened items we purchased, which was great, because we would have had to throw them out since we'll be flying out of the country. The bathrooms had shampoos hand, soaps, etc. all top quality. BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL HOME! 2 kitchens!! 3 bedrooms on the top floor with an amazing big bathroom fully stocked! Second floor has the kitchen and living room, and across the hall is another sitting room and a dining room. Bottom floor was nice and cool, and 2 bedroom and another kitchen! Bus stop in front the house. There were train stations near to, but we just took the buses because it was a straight shot to the city in almost anywhere we wanted to go. Small Grocery down the street, a good Asian restaurant near by. Patio was amazing!! We sat out there a lot huge covering, nice yard with a breeze. Would stay again!

House was lovely
House was lovely. Extremely well appointed. Linens, beds, electronics, seated patio, two well equipped kitchens. Owner provided basics of bottled water, coffee, condiments, snacks, lotions, cleaning supplies, even sodas, all of which made moving in effortless. The location is car friendly. Our ages ranged from 2 years old up. We'd definitely stay again.
