Levi did a fantastic job — thorough, efficient, and highly professional. The flat was spotless by the time she left, and she was incredibly kind and courteous throughout. It’s clear she takes pride in her work, and it really shows in the results. I’d be more than happy to have her back regularly. Highly recommended.

She came, she saw, she conquered! And she did it tirelessly. A very professional, efficient and diligent cleaner who will leave things spotless. Thank you Isabella and thank you especially for your patience with the local parking situation, and for being so good with our beloved feline friends. Until next time!

Abe went above and beyond to bring our home back into order after two weeks without our regular cleaner and failed attempts to get the help we needed. Our home is a tricky layout and old so it can take a while to get it feeling clean. Thanks for giving it the best go on the hottest and longest day of the year.

New Cross, in south east London, is a thriving and well-connected part of Lewisham.

The area is notably the home of Goldsmiths, University of London, an institution famous for its contribution to the arts. Damien Hirst, Damon Albarn and Vivienne Westwood are all household names that have graduated from the college.

There’s plenty of entertainment for locals in New Cross, with pubs such as the New Cross Inn and the Amersham Arms both hosting live music regularly. New Cross is in close proximity to Deptford and Peckham where an array of other daytime and evening entertainment can be found.

Along the main road, it’s mostly flats on the housing market, often above retail space.
