Hotel Stephen & Sarah...

That's right, ladies and gents, the moment you've been waiting for -- the grand unveiling of your London accommodation (aka our new flat).

We did the handover inspection yesterday, and pick up the keys tomorrow, and can't wait to finally get settled in our new place. Here are a few photos so you can decide how it compares to the Hilton (which, I'm sure, is your other alternative)
The ouside (we're on the second floor on the left)

The "reception" room

The kitchen (featuring gas cooking and a dishwasher - Sarah is in heaven!)

The main bedroom


The guest accommodation

Just kidding, this is the guest accommodation (the other one was the storage cupboard we have under the stairs)

Our street, which is lined with terraces much the same as ours (in fact I think it would be easy to make a mistake as they're all so similar)

Just for comparison, here are the reception room, main bedroom and kitchen of our current accommodation in Paddington...it will be exciting to finally have some space :)

Wow, the new "Home sweet Home" looks great! Make sure you let us know the address, I am sure James would love to send a letter or two via snail mail to London!

Dude, your new place looks like a palace, what suburb is it in?

Place is in Maida Vale, just a bit down from the station - check out http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=maida+vale+tube+station&sll=51.52699,-0.19173&sspn=0.009692,0.020084&layer=&ie=UTF8&z=16&ll=51.528557,-0.188034&spn=0.009692,0.027122&om=1&iwloc=addr
