About Phil and Aquilla

Hi there! I am a retired teacher. My wife, Aquilla,who is originally from the Philippines, works at at a local hospital and we have two teenage daughters. We lived abroad, in the Far East, for several years and we now live here in our lovely spacious family home in Edgware, North West London. My father was a career diplomat so I travelled extensively as a child and have travelled widely since then. Other interests include sport (in my younger days!) diy and gardening. I also enjoy cooking, classical music, theatre and reading. We have wide experience of hosting guests as well as being guests ourselves while travelling abroad. We hope to hear from you if you require a comfortable, spacious, welcoming and friendly base in London...especially convenient for getting into Central London!!

    The house is really close to underground station and to the lovely Cannons park. You also have to visit St Lawrence's old baroque church nearby.

  • Yvonne 4.0 06/14/2017

    We liked the location of the house. It was quiet and seemed to be a nice neighborhood. The tube was just about 2 minutes away, so you could get quickly into the center of London.

    Really 1 minute to the tube, nice clean house.
    Recommend to everybody, who is not expecting 7star hotel services, but pleasant accommodation in nice house with perfect accessibility and a great host.

    Die Wohnung lag ca. 200 Meter von der nächsten U BAhn Station entfernt , ziemlich ausserhalb von London . Die hier verkehrende Linie hat fast alle wichtigen Punkte angefahren , war echt gut . Das Zimmer war wie angegeben , ebenso das Bad . Frühstück hatten wir nicht gebucht , sah aber lecker aus . Alles in allem auf alle Fälle seinen Preis wert .

    The house was clean and the room was comfortable. Everything looked fine.

  • Daniel 4.0 06/16/2013

    Die Unterkunft war gut und ruhig gelegen. Eine öffentliche Anbindung an alle zentrale Punkte Londons war in der Nähe und gut zu Fuss erreichbar. Das Frühstück war mit Liebe und Zeit zubereitet, für Mitteleuropäer allerdings etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Wer nicht unbedingt ein Hotel benötigt, sondern ein typisch britisches Familienleben kennenlernen möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Ich jedenfalls schaue gern wieder vorbei :)

    When coming to Phil’s place you find a nice and friendly accommodation in the family’s home. There you can feel as if you were in your own home.
    I found the bed very comfotable and I had a peaceful sleep.
    Phil very much takes care of your stay and looks after you, so that you find everything you need. Breakfast is served at any time that is convenient for you. It is served as described an taken together on the big family table where a nice chat to the host is a welcome way to start the day.
    Most convenient, as mentioned before, is the perfect connection to the tube and London city centre. Just take care to look up, when the last train is leaving from London to geht home again :).

  • Mark 4.0 05/13/2013

    It's a nice, clean house, about 40 minutes with the metro to the centre of london. Recommended!

  • Wendelin 5.0 05/07/2013

    The place is perfectly located to walk London the whole day and to come back at night to rest at a very calm place with a fantastic view into the green when you wake up in the morning. And the London Tube is just around the corner - perfect!

  • Jenna 4.0 04/15/2013

    Das Haus liegt sehr zentral. Die Bahn erreicht man innerhalb einer minute. Ein sehr gemütliches Haus. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

  • Birgit 5.0 04/05/2013

    The house has got a peaceful surrounding with lots of green behind the backyard and a nice little park nearby. It was very quiet and very warm which was great for us because we were there when it was still very cold.

  • Jure 5.0 03/24/2013

    Phil and Aquilla have a very nice home and my stay there was very pleasant. The location is a bit outside of London but you have 1 minute to Canons park tube station (jubilee line). Also next to the underground is the canons park bus station which takes you within 7 minutes to Edgeware station (northern line). If you plan to travel a lot I recommend you buy an Oyster card (more information here http://www.tfl.gov.uk). The room I stayed in was very clean and comfortable so I could really have a rest after my seminar courses. Staying there was really worth the money and since it is really close to the tube it is very easy to find.

    I enjoyed staying at phils house. The room and the house in general are really clean and comfortable. the room is exactly like on the photos. The house is only one minute from the tube station and in 20 minutes you can be in central london! So it is perfect for everyone who wants to explore london with a small budget. Phil was really friendly and did his best to make sure his guests felt welcome and comfortable.

  • Rosi 4.0 01/31/2014

    Gostamos muito da hospitalidade de Phil and Aquila, são atenciosos e generosos. Apesar de estar afastado das zonas mais turísticas de Londres, há uma estação de metrô e linhas de ônibus a poucos metros da casa. O lugar é tranquilo e estivemos bem nos dez dias que convivemos com Phil e sua família e Jojo um simpático cachorrinho que também nos encantou.

  • Paul 4.0 08/11/2013

    Phil war sehr freundlich und gerne zu Gesprächen bereit , auch mit Tipps hat er gerne geholfen wenn er gefragt wurde . Den Rest der Familie haben wir kaum gesehen , wir waren allerdings auch nur zum Schlafen dort , deshalb gab es kaum Möglichkeit dazu .

  • Kerry 5.0 07/01/2013

    Phil and Aquilla were a delightful and gracious host family, making a lone traveller feel welcome in their home. We shared interesting, lively and varied conversations during lovely breakfasts overlooking their peaceful garden. Phil helped me plan my daily itinerary to ensure that I had a wonderful experience of London. Thank you both for your thoughtfulness.

  • Elzbieta 4.0 06/30/2013

    Phil was kind and helpful and his wife was very nice. Although my time with them was short and we didn't talk much, as I was very busy, it was a time spent in a nice atmosphere.

    Thank you for having me.

  • Daniel 4.0 06/16/2013

    Eine typisches Familienleben, sehr freundlich, kommunikativ und hilfsbereit.

  • Alice 5.0 05/27/2013

    As already mentioned Phil takes very much care of his guests. His goal is to make your stay comfortable. Phil always handles you very fríendly and kind and makes this an experience as if you were staying at a friend's home. Thank you Phil! I would book again.

  • Mark 4.0 05/13/2013

  • Wendelin 5.0 05/07/2013

    Phil is such a nice and friendly host! I spent 3 wonderful days with my son in London and we can highly recommend to stay at his place.

  • Jenna 4.0 04/15/2013

    Phil war ein toller Gastgeber. Er hat sich sehr um uns gekümmert. Er war sehr hilfbereit und sehr zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns bei ihm sehr wohl gefühlt. Leider haben aber seine Töchter und seine Frau nicht gerade den Eindruck erweckt das wir sehr erwünscht waren . Aber trotz allem Phil hat einen tollen Job gemacht...Danke Phil :-)

  • Birgit 5.0 04/05/2013

    Our host was very helpful and always happy to have a nice little chat. He was always interested in our plans and our life in general. He did try to make you feel completely at home.

  • Jure 5.0 03/24/2013

    Since my seminar courses were very long throughout the day I had only few occasions to have a conversation with them. I took also the breakfast possibility and Phil was always on time even though it was usually around 7am. If had to describe my host in one sentence it would be a loving a caring home.
