St Alfege's Passage (Oooer, Missus...)
A charming little early-Victorian slip-though running down beside St Alfege's church. The house on the end, next to the entrance to the churchyard is by far the prettiest at any time of year as they carefully keep their window boxes full to bursting point. What with the old stone paving, the splendid entrance to St Alfege's churchyard and the lovely lamp posts, this is an enchanting passageway.
At No 16, is St Alfege's Guest House, a dear little B&B - from what I can see on the website. I walked down there the other day to see if I could find it (before I looked it up) and it's so discreet that I couldn't tell which house it was.
Run by Robert & Nicholas (or so I read) it has, it would appear, three exquisite rooms, one of which is a single; another has a four-poster bed. The sitting room looks cosy too. The prices seem pretty damn reasonable for the centre of Greenwich - nay, for London - from £40 for a single room. It's predominantly gay, but claims to give straight people an equally warm welcome. Watch out, Robert and Nicholas. The Phantom or one of the team of spooky spies will be staying with you soon...

I've met these guys, they are friends of friends, and they were kind enough to give me a quick cooks tour of the house. The place is wonderful, rather eccentric with interesting pieces of antiques, pictures and objet d'art lovinging placed around the house. They are great fun too, I would certainly recommend it.
Excellent news. I had a gut feeling it would be a good place.
Ah we know these wonderful chaps. Their house is gorgeous and tastefully decorated with all sorts of interesting things. A perfect place to stay and such lovely hosts.
This is getting better and better. I think I might have to be a tourist in my own town and visit...
On a quiet road in the centre of Greenwich with wonderful hosts who are very friendly and helpful. If I didnt already live in Greenwich, I'd stay there all the time.
Look out for this place on the new series of "The Hotel Inspector", starting on channel five on Thursday 6th September 2007 at 9pm...
The Hotel Inspector Channel five October 25th - 9:00pm St Alfeges
Tut the naught TV programmers - my diary is a mass of crossed out reminders for this!
New date duly noted.
1st November now because the UEFA footie is on tonight - GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Loved the programme, I must stay there, the site crashed on me at 9.50pm obviously too many bookings!!
Came here from Ham's London DP to the post about champagne in the tunnel and then started looking through your archives.
Saw this post and remembered watching the TV prog mentioned. Bet they charge more than £40 a night now - enjoyed the programe and must delve a bit more in your archives.
