Meet London Home-to-Home's new owner

After 25 years spent creating and running London Home-to-Home, Rosemary Richardson is stepping down as proprietor. Rosemary is delighted to announce that not only will London Home-to-Home continue to provide visitors to London with excellent accommodation, but also that the agency will be staying in the family.

London Home-to-Home's new proprietor is Ann Oliver, partner of Rosemary's son Harley and mother of their two-year-old grandson.

Rosemary, who is from Australia, settled in London in the late 1960s. Her wonderful family experiences of staying at Bed & Breakfasts throughout Britain gave her the idea of establishing a network of B&B homes in the British capital. London Home-to-Home was the result.

Says Rosemary (above right), "I wish Ann many happy years as the owner. All the best, Ann! I am so pleased to be handing over the business to your safe pair of hands."

Says Ann, "I am thrilled to be taking the company over. London Home-to-Home is one of the UK's longest-established and best-loved bed and breakfast agencies: Rosemary has been a quiet force on London's tourism and travel scene and has built up a terrific rapport with her wonderful bed and breakfast hosts and her clients alike. Her experience and guidance will be invaluable and I look forward to welcoming many new visitors via www.londonhometohome.com."
