Home description

The house is one of the oldest and most striking in the Crystal Palace area and can be seen in the impressionist painting of Pisarro (called Fox Hill). At the highest point in south London, the apartment has views over south London. Leafy green walks are close by yet frequent trains take 15-25 min into the city centre for museums, clubs, and shows.

The South East England / Greater London region
South East England offers access to field and forest (eg the famous Winnie The Pooh Ashdown Forest) and a slice of history (Leeds Castle and Hastings where Normans and Saxons slugged it out) yet central London is only 25 mins away with its famous historical and theatrical landscape.
South-East London / Crystal Palace area
Eating out in Crystal Palace is a must with excellent food from all regions of the globe. Crystal Palace park is the place to work up an apetite or for the more sedate, antique hunting is always good fun.
