London Areas:

If you are looking for serviced apartments in central London, the following is a brief guide to the most popular areas. Chelsea and Kensington are trendy, up-market areas of central London and Kensington is particularly convenient for museums and shopping. Marble Arch is less trendy but convenient for Hyde Park and the shops at the west end of Oxford street, including Selfridges and Marks and Spencer. The West End is the most central London location and theatres, pubs and restaurants are all literally on your doorstep. However West End accommodation tends to be more expensive to reflect this convenience. Bloomsbury is another good central location, within walking distance of the West End and the British Museum, with hotels and apartments to suit all budgets.

Why rent a London Apartment instead of staying at a London Hotel?

There are a number of reasons for choosing the apartment option for your London vacation or business stay. Holiday flats are a good choice for a family, with more space than in a hotel room as well as greater privacy and the flexibility of self catering. Many London vacation rental apartments also offer a number of 'hotel-like' facilities including room cleaning services. Cost is another advantage - because you usually pay a nightly rate for the apartment rather than per person - an apartment stay in London can often work out cheaper than a hotel of an equivalent standard, especially for longer stays.
