Meet Sheila, a host in Southwark who takes us to her favourite local spot

Sheila has spent the past three years hosting on Airbnb, welcoming guests from across the world to her listing in Canada Water, Southwark. Sheila recently sat down to speak to us about one of her favourite local recommendations in her borough, The Mayflower Pub.
