Trip report: a fantastic week exploring London

One week home swap between Chipping Sodbury and London
 "We exchanged lots of messages to arrange all the details of the swap, it was friendly and relaxed which suited us perfectly because it was our first home swap.
The arrangements went really well and we were very happy with their house. It's in a really convenient location, just five minutes walk to the rail station. We had one week in London to explore the sights. One day we walked to beautiful Blackheath, had lunch, then continued on to Greenwich with it's park and market. Another day we took the train in to London Bridge where we went up the Shard and enjoyed a drink while taking in the views over London - fantastic! Returning to our house was great because Zara and Stuart had really taken the effort to clean their home before we arrived. All in all, a really great first swap experience. Thanks to Zara and Stuart." Zara
Highlight of the exchange:
- Beautiful Blackheath village
- Lunch in Borough Market and drinks in the Shard
- Ferry from Greenwich to the London Eye

Home insurance: for the UK home-sharing market
|
 It's always important to make sure that your home insurance covers the period when your exchange guests will be staying in your home. Thankfully most Home Base Holidays members do not have any issues obtaining cover from their existing home insurance companies. However, on some occasions insurers unfamiliar with home swapping have been known to refuse cover.
Belong Safe is a new home insurance for the UK home-sharing market that provides top up cover in addition to your own home insurance for the period that your guests will be staying in your home. It's a very flexible and reasonably priced service where you only pay for the nights that your guests will be in your home. For more information click here to download the Belong Safe information pack
Save 10% on your Belong Safe cover by quoting ' Home Base Holidays'. For more details and to arrange cover, contact Sam Wren: sam@belongsafe.com
