must give 2 weeks notice (14 days) directly to the Owner,
Landlord or Manager of the accommodation. London 4 London
Ltd is not responsible if the customer does not inform
the Owner, Landlord or Manager of the accommodation
of his/her departure date and therefore London 4 London
Ltd is not responsible if the Owner, Landlord or Manager
keeps the customer's guarantee deposit. The customer
is informed that in the accommodations located in London
Bridge, Bermondsey, New Cross, New Cross Gate, Hither
Green, Brockley, Bromley, Grove Park and Shadwell he/she
