While hotels offer a decent roof over the head of any self-respecting traveller, for lengthier trips to cities such as London some find themselves craving more familiar surroundings when forced to stay abroad. By 'familiar', I don't mean that they miss the family home, simply that to feel comfortable as strangers in a strange land, a more homely, less sterile environment is preferable. Hotels can exude that impersonal, stiff feeling, especially for regular long-haul travellers. For this very reason, some companies hire or purchase short term apartments in London to accommodate their more important overseas clients. These London serviced apartments offer self-contained luxury lodgings at a comparable price. Fully-furnished and complete with fitted kitchen, TV, telephone and all other mod cons you would expect from a city dwelling, serviced apartments are generally designed by professional interior designers, giving the guest a sample of chic city living in a spacious, stylish apartment without the long-term investment. A great exponent of spacious, stylish living are Zinc House apartments, with chic furnishings of the highest quality combined with luxuries such as a dishwasher, washing machine and cable TV. Another apartment block located in the square mile is 196 Bishopsgate apartments, offering a similar experience of cosmopolitan inner-city apartment lifestyle for an affordable price. Both are ideal for the business or casual traveller alike, providing easy access to central London and the old financial district. Perfect for someone wishing to treat their partner to a romantic weekend, Citadines apartments in the Barbican offer the perfect mixture of opulence and elegance, and all within a couple of miles of many cultural events in the area, most notably the constantly-changing repertoire offered by the Barbican Centre. Also desirable for a romantic break are Astons apartments offer a quiet retreat in one of London's most prestigious and exclusive districts, South Kensington. While many apartments in this area go for several millions of pounds, you can treat yourself to an extended break for as little as a few hundred! |
