First time staying in a London Apartment?
Serviced apartments are a great alternative to hotels. They are typically larger than an equivalent hotel room, providing a kitchen and lounge area as well as a bedroom and bathroom, so you have plenty of space to relax and enjoy your stay. For families or groups of friends travelling together, apartments also offer multiple bedrooms, so you can keep everyone in one apartment while still maintaining privacy and personal space.
