    This is a very good quality B and B ( available as room only if preferred) in the lovely area of Dulwich with restaurants, cafes, entertainment and a park also nearby in Herne Hill and Brixton. Very close to central London. A warm welcome from lovely lady, Jane with tea, coffee, biscuits and water in the room. The spacious loft bedroom and shower room were modern, well- equipped and very comfortable. A super stay , would stay again !

    Nothing .

    If you are searching a B & B that is fitted out with quality and style, spotlessly clean, value breakfast, and managed by an efficient and charming host, look no further. This is it. If your business is in Dulwich, ideal, and central London is only a 15 minute ride on the overground train . We preferred to catch the train rather than be in central London with inferior and more expensive accommodation. Highly recommend. DYOR

    Nothing (some low ceilings in the attic room were a bit hazardous for me being over 6ft though so take care!)

    Beautiful room in a great house in West Dulwich. Really high quality accommodation and decoration in the attic room I stayed in.

    Exceptional hospitality, fully equipped room, very comfortable and very clean. Close to stations to the city yet in a quiet area with free parking. Jane is a very welcoming, lovely host, and the tiny touches make this place special and stand out. We felt like being in a hotel. If we are in the area, will definitely book it again.

    Jane is an incredible host! She loves to get to know her guests and make sight-seeing recommendations based on her guests’ interests. She was so warm and welcoming upon arrival, making it incredibly hard to leave. My friend and I felt so comfortable and at home in such a clean, comfortable and friendly environment. Jane also taught my friend and I how to use London’s train system, which saved us a lot of time and money when trying to check everything off our daily itineraries. Be sure to grab breakfast from Jane as well, we loved her French toast! The Lilac Door is located near a few cafes which really gives you the local London experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Next time I’m in London, I will definitely be booking with Jane! I loved everything about the Lilac Door. I will absolutely be staying here again. Jane is a lovely host and is welcoming to all walks of life. She was so excited for us to experience London and gave us plenty of recommendations for the younger crowd and for those who like true crime/horror!
