WANTED:Short let furnished house in February for family in SE19

Hi all, I posted this in another forum also but am spreading the word..


We're currently in a crappy situation where we have to be out of our rental house of the past 5 years by the end of January but likely to have nowhere to move into thanks to our house purchase being delayed 4 zillion times (since May!!) and seemingly nowhere near completion.


Does anyone happen to know of any short-let furnished 2-bed house rentals (2 month max hopefully) in the SE19 Upper Norwood/Gipsy Hill/CP Triangle area from late-January/early Feb suitable for a family of 4?..!


To add a sprinkle of more stress into the mix, both our children (one nearly 4yrs, the other 10 months) start a brand new nursery full-time on 4th Jan on Harold Road near our supposed new house and I return to work full-time on the 25th.


We're currently in Honor Oak Park and would love not to move out of rented house but have pushed our notice back so many times (the epic saga of this house-buying is a soap opera storyline) that our landlady now has a new tenant signed unfortunately.


Any advice muchly appreciated and pls PM if you can help as I don't actively check my threads but do receive notifications of PMs.

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
