We live in a beautifully renovated family house in central London, in an area known as 'between the commons' due to the huge parklands on either side of the area. Stripped wooden floorboards downstairs, a sunny and inviting kitchen with dining area and south facing sun trap of a terraced garden. Wider than a normal Victorian house, the receptions rooms are spacious yet homely. We have two small children each with their own rooms, and a further two double bedrooms both en suite(bath and shower).

We live just behind the popular Northcote Road which has a lively market each weekend, and draws people from all over London. There are many restaurants and bars that keep the area buzzing day and night and so many boutique shops that the street is commonly thought of as 'the Kings Road of the South'. We are a few minutes walk from both Wandsworth and Clapham Commons, lovely places to walk and perfect for families with numerous playgrounds. A great place for both families and those looking for a 'lively' social experience.

My husband and I are both profesionals in the entertainment business (marketing and management) and we have two young children. I'm Australian and so try and travel home every year or so to see family and friends. We have done a few swaps to date and found the experiences easy and extremely worthwhile. We're sure that our house provides a perfect base to experience London with all it has to offer and look forward to arranging our next swaps in 2012. (Looking especially for a swap a last minute swap Christmas 2011 and a swap in Australia for Christmas 2012.)
