Very relaxed work, no stress about schedules and the best housekeeping team possible!!! The place is super clean, organized and has a great space for volunteers. The location is also excellent, a very beautiful and well-located neighborhood. Highly recommended!!

I had such a great time here. The work is fair, the hours are respected and flexible, which gave me enough time to explore London. The location couldn't be better — safe, central, and well connected. You're just minutes away from everything. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone (I could mention them all) is genuinely kind, friendly, and easy to work with. The vibe is super chill, supportive, welcoming, and respectful. If you're considering this place, I 100% recommend it. Great place, great people, and a really good volunteer experience overall.
