    Very comfortable beds, in a very quiet location, a short 15 minute train ride from London Victoria. Perfect for our family, as I didn’t want to stay in the heart of London

Company information

I love London and the history of the city, going to the theatre and reading about the city.

Property information

Melrose House is friendly and cosy with a feeling of the 19th century but with modern facilities. It is run by our family and our motto is " there are no strangers here only friends we have not met."

Neighbourhood information

We are in a quiet part of London, very pretty with plenty of trees in our surrounding roads. We have several parks the most famous being the Crystal Palace Park where a huge palace of glass was built in 1981 with a dinosaur park surrounding it in the lakes and gardens. Sadly the palace was destroyed by fire but the park is still lovely.
