This house has some dining room and what is with the jaunty angle photos of the cookers? Also, what is "London style" when it comes to gardens?

What part of the kitchen are those built in ovens in? Different cupboards to the rest....0 -

It's good but not quite as good as this house in Bearsden that was up for sale a couple of years ago.

That's the 1970s for you.
I've just realised the duvet cover in pic 12 is a first cousin of one of our 'decorating cloths'. Same colours except ours has circles instead of squares. I inherited this monstrosity with my OH, I think it came from his mother's house.Make £2025 in 2025

TBH the Beccles house has worn much better than many people who were also on-trend at the time.;)0

London Style seems to mean: plastic grass, outdoor sofas, no plants you have to actually garden at.But look at that lighting!This house has some dining room and what is with the jaunty angle photos of the cookers? Also, what is "London style" when it comes to gardens?

Some of the house could qualify as "London style" and ...yep...the garden could.
Basically - as I see it - I would say "London style" means = modern and simple and doesnt look cheap.
That's how it comes over to me anyway - as I'm from a city that has a noticeable number of houses doing "London style" pretty soon after London does so iyswim and yep...I could probably be summed up as "London style - at 6 months to a couple of years or so after London" (even after moving here). Our style is either "London style - not much after London" or "sorta academics house type style" quite often (ie piano possibly?/lotsa books definitely (tick....LOL)/higher things on my mind (tick LOL).
One of the first comments made about my new kitchen here was "London style" - and yep...it's modern/simple/doesnt look cheap.0 -

I guess it's a matter of taste because the house looks a bit Footballer's Wife to me except I don't think Aberdeen FC players get paid that much.
