How to pick a location for your stay in London
Whether you are visiting London for work, leisure, medical, education or relocating here, choosing a good location is so important because it it affects your overall experience in the city. Even though London is a vibrant, bustling, diverse city, some parts of the city may not be ideal for your purpose of stay especially if it does not have the transport connections or local conveniences you need.
Holiday-makers would certainly find it easier to base themselves very centrally and book a short stay apartment in areas like Mayfair, Marylebone, Bayswater, Kensington or Bloomsbury. Or choose neighbourhoods like Camden, Earls Court, Liverpool Street, Waterloo, as these are slightly out of the main city centre, yet very easily accessible and with plenty of attractions in and around the area.
Families travelling with young children may like a family friendly apartment close parks Hyde Park and Regents Park or child-friendly attractions like the Natural History Museum and Science Museum in South Kensington. Those travelling with older children could pick a location like Westminster (home to the London eye and famous clocktower) or stay around neighbourhoods like Covent Garden, Camden, Notting Hill and Spitalfields which are loved for their fantastic markets.
For business trips, pick a location like Paddington, Clerkenwell, Kings Cross, Aldgate, London Bridge, Westminster or Canary Wharf (towards the East) as these offer quick access to the prime business hubs and financial centres.
London city breaks are also very popular and for these we suggest a comfortable London hotel apartment right next to Oxford Street, Fitzrovia or Covent Garden to be very close to the lively entertainment, shopping and nightlife.
For a more discerning experience we also have a fantastic selection of five star luxury serviced apartments in London with award-winning services and state-of-the-art amenities, especially around the Knightsbridge and Mayfair neighbourhoods.

What type of apartments are available in London
Serviced apartments, also known as extended stay hotels, aparthotels, short stay apartments or short term lets, have become a very popular choice and present a more cost-effective alternative to compact hotel rooms in London.
In London, they vary from hotel rooms with self-catering facilities, apartments within a hotel building, an apartment block managed by a hotel company, a dedicated serviced apartment block, individual apartments within a residential building serviced regularly and provided by an accommodation company.
The facilities such as a reception, gymnasium, outdoor space, parking, lifts, air-conditioning etc vary depending on the building, management company and nightly rate.
How do you get the best deal for a serviced apartment in London
Serviced apartments are significantly cheaper than equivalent hotel rooms and offer more for your money. If you are looking to spend less, then it is best not to book during the Summer season, bank holidays (Christmas, Easter, August Bank Holiday) and major event dates (Wimbledon, Fashion Weeks) of the year and instead travel during off-peak periods.
The best way to get a lower rate is to stay longer as serviced apartments often offer long stay discounts depending on your length of stay. There are often lower rates for apartments that are located on the lower ground floor or higher floors (where there is no lift access).
