Personalized house sitting in London

“Pete is such a lovely and reliable guy. He always takes care of our cat Dudley whenever we go on holiday and we couldn’t be leaving him in safer hands. We’re pretty sure Dudley would like us to go away more often! Can’t recommend Baxter’s Buddies highly enough. Fabulous pet care at super affordable prices.”

“Super cool B&B with great privacy in comfortable rooms but friendly hostess on hand also if needed. Lovely, calm relaxed place to stay close to London and to a great selection of neighbourhood restaurants.”

“Great experience getting my hair coloured and cut! Marko is delightful and a genius with hair. Highly recommended!”

“I've been going to House of Nails for just three months, but the shellac shape and polish (slightly cheaper than a manicure and more than sufficient for me) has been excellent every time. I've had five shellac polishes by five different technicians, and every one has lasted at least three weeks, which in my experience is excellent. The choice of colours is extensive and the price is at the lower end of the spectrum in the area. I'm really happy to have found them after the last salon I'd used for years changed hands, and the quality sadly dropped.”

“Really great local chinese takeaway, great menu with clearly marked allergens that makes ordering as a vegan really easy. The quality of the food is excellent”

“What a great company to use for elite travel. We had our wedding in London on the hottest day . The car was pristine and had excellent Aircon! Stuart went above and beyond to make our wedding special. He agreed to be one of our witnesses , he also and managed to get another for us with such short notice. ( The champagne was a lovely too thanks)Nothing is too much trouble for this company. A very professional service. Highly recommend Platinum Cars Thankyou !”

“Thanks. Nellie looks good and I know that she is not the easiest client you have!”

“Decent foods, absolutely no comment needed on taste. Quick operation is a plus, but quite expensive price. Was a little too dark on night, still, I was able to find foods but would be great if less darker. Definitely going back.”

“Kizzy was incredible. This was my first curly cut after a long time searching for a local curly hair specialist. We spent about 25 minutes talking about my hair, how I style it, any problems that I have etc., and Kizzy really listened and understood how my hair bagged (or misbehaves). I felt more comfortable than I’ve felt with a hair dresser before, and trusted her to cut my hair to a shape that she thought would work for my face shape and my hair type. I am really happy with the results and loved the whole experience. I will definitely be back when it’s time for a trim!”

“Our 8 month old kitten had her first stay at Meow Manor for 10 days. The Cattery is modern and very clean. We were worried about leaving Ruby for the first time but Karon and Molly are very friendly and really looked after her. Would use again and highly recommend.”

“Banging almond croissant, lovely staff and good vibes. I am working in the area and find this little spot great to take a break in, or to unwind after work. A hidden gem in the area. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you RIGHT SHIPPING for helping me with my move. Team arrived on time, packed all my items professionally as well as dismantling and reassembling my bed, baby cod and wardrobe. RIGHT SHIPPING provided very high standards service. If you are reading this now - Highly recommend to you.”

“Best possible experience. Saman & Jade are super helpful. I’ve been renting with them 3 year and I couldn’t be happier. They reply immediately and always find the best solutions.”

“Best visa agency experience!!!! Most helpful team and the quickest. Got my visa in 3 days total including posting the passport and return. Saved me a lot of hassle. Thank you so much.”

“We contacted Deni and Stacy in an emergency when I broke my foot earlier this year. We were hesitant to let strangers walk our dog but connected with them on our first meeting as did our dog who ADORES them. They have been amazing, trustworthy, reliable and extremely flexible. Above all Tilly loves them and she has an amazing time every time she goes out with them. She enjoys being part of the pack and we love seeing the photos they send through. Because of this we have continued to use them for regular walks even though my foot is healed. They are fantastic!”

“I'm a regular here and the service is always lovely. Everyone is so kind, friendly and polite. The owner is really attentive towards his customers and makes sure they aren't missing anything from their dining experience. I love the vibe of the cafe and the music always fits my taste. The only issue is that I feel guilty staying longer to finish my work when the busy hours start since there is limited seating and I don't want to hinder their business. It would be nice if in the future there was another floor for additional seats.”

“I like Dolce Crema..I usually meet another nanny or friend for coffee/tea & morning crossiant. The staff are very friendly. They sell delicious ice-cream which is very popular. They have a variety of delicious homemade food for Breakfast,lunch & snacks. And they have great music playing..Nice happy atmosphere, your never made to feel that they want the table back. Nice clean place. Even though they are very busy they make you feel very welcome.”

“SUMMARY: Lovely friendly cafe / restaurant. Consistently good. We've visited on different days at different times - always hard-working, polite, diligent, and serve great quality food and drinks. Today's pictures are on a Sunday and the place is very busy - but we don't mind. It can be a bit noisy - but it's a cheerful chatty noise. We have been here when it's super-quiet and peaceful, so it's up to you to choose a good time depending on your mood. THE MENUS: Great choices of breakfast, healthy options, Mediterranean, brunch, lunch and snacks. We're never bored with the choices. Today's photos are the grilled chicken salad after the gym. Substantial, fresh and delicious. See photos of the menus. PRICES: very fair and reasonable - generous portions. DECOR & COMFORT: Contemporary look, nice, comfortable and a choice of indoor and outdoor. At the rear there is more outdoor seating in a cute yard but is down some steps. THE SERVICE: Always good. Very attentive and well trained staff. Eye contact and a genuine concern to make your visit good. They will change things, fix things and want to do the right thing for you. TOILETS: Very clean, smell-free, large, adequate with baby-changing fold down table. Step-free level access for buggies and wheelchairs. See photos. BUT... no handrails for the disabled which really would be a bonus. There was a chap in a wheelchair in the café when we visited, and it would be so much better putting a few more facilities for the less able. (Additionally, the Café entrance step could be corrected to allow for step-free access. It's very small, but I know from experience that even these small steps can be stressful for the less-able.) Finally, regarding the toilets: it is a fashion these days to install really high-powered hand driers. The one in this toilet, like many, is DEAFENING. At some stage, the law will change and these will be removed. Illogically loud. (And you can't put your wet fingers in your ears whilst trying to dry your hands! ) THE LOCATION: Busy part of West Wickham near a cross roads and the local council gym-swimming pool. So, parking outside is on the meter - see photos. The street across the road is free is you can find space (except 1-2 pm, Mon-Fri... be careful, you will get a ticket!). Or, pay to use the gym car-park. OVERALL: You can see from the ratings that The Grind is well respected and loved amongst the locals, the elderly, the young, parents with children & babies, groups, alone, the lads from the gym, the girls on a chatty afternoon... well liked by all. Cheerful, lively, successful. Well done to The Grind. We'll be back!”

“Really well organised. Usama is amazing and have had many family members recommended.”

“What a lovely experience with a warm and welcoming staff and lovely good quality food. We were greeted with smiles and politeness as soon as we entered. And not the forced kind either, the kind that makes you feel welcome and invited. This was a recurring theme and left a lasting impressing. Our food was served promptly and was well presented. Not only that, the taste and quality was good too. There is a good variety to choose from and portions are enough to satisfy any hungry lion. Nikki's is an open and inviting space that caters to people if all size and is family friendly too. There is a rest room at the back and if you fancy sitting curbside there are tables outside. All in all - a lovely coffee shop that we'll be delighted to visit again and one I would definitely recommend.”

“Im so happy with my haircut and the boys inside helped me a lot and are very friendly. Professional haircut”

“Sailchecker & Kate in particular provided absolutely outstanding service and support prior, throughout and after our holidays. She understood our needs in the special COVID-19 times and offered boats which suited both our expectations & budget. She dealt with numerous questions with endless patience, was very friendly, flexible and forthcoming with tips on the route and practicalities and both our families were extremely happy with our week on the beautiful P. Funda. She checked on us throughout the trip, this is the first time a broker did that with us and we have been on numerous boat trips. I would definitely use their services again.”

“Been getting Kebabs from Kebabland for over 30 years when it was in the High street. Ive never found a better Kebab shop yet and ive visited quite a few all around the country and locally, the food has always been superb all through the years and they have the best Chilli sauce, salads fresh. The guys are always friendly and portions are large. People mentioning a management change? Management hasn't changed for years. Nothing is ever perfect but I really cant fault them.”

“Nice clean Costa in Next with large windows to give you a view of the gallons reach. Great place to sit and chill and allow the other half to shop. Also has a toilet which comes in use especially with little ones.”
