London Apartments and Self Catering Accommodation

An apartment can be a cheaper, more flexible alternative to a hotel, particularly for families. You can eat "at home", saving on restaurant bills, and come and go as you please. London apartments vary from the modest to the luxurious; some apartments have maid service; some can be rented by the night; others have longer minimum stays.

Cheval Group

If you're looking for a City penthouse with its own roof terrace or a Knightsbridge pad crammed with antiques, Cheval Apartments specialise in luxury, serviced apartments in various parts of London. Whether glossy and ultra-modern or dripping in traditional chintz, they are immaculately furnished and decorated, backed up by first-rate service.

Beaufort House

Beaufort House is part of a Victorian terrace overlooking a quiet Knightsbridge cul-de-sac just 200 metres from Harrods. These exclusive one- to four-bedroom apartments are handsomely furnished in country house style with deep sofas and swagged curtains. You'll want for little, with a daily maid service and a helpful concierge to a portable air-conditioning unit when temperatures soar.

Europa House

A step from Little Venice, with its colourful canals and pretty bridges, Europa House offers 13 comfortable apartments sleeping between 2 and 6 people. Large windows make the attractive rooms light and airy, and you'll enjoy access to the massive communal gardens. Regent's Park and Lord's cricket ground are also on the doorstep.

St Mark's Clerkenwell

The revival of Clerkenwell has made it one of the most vibrant districts in London. The area is home to some excellent restaurants, gastropubs, bars, nightclubs and galleries. St Mark's apartments are in an impressive building dating to the mid 1800s. They are bright and chic and benefit from an on-site gym, where you can work off dinner!

Allen House

Shopaholics need look no further than Allen House. These smart, well-proportioned apartments are located in an Edwardian mansion block off High Street Kensington, one of London's most exciting shopping streets. There's a housekeeper who will even wash dishes, and a peaceful garden. If you crave even more green space, Holland Park and Kensington Gardens are within walking distance.

Vancouver Studios

Run like a hotel with hands-on service, these small yet stylishly modern Bayswater studios are comfortable and well-priced. Each Vancouver Studio has a mini kitchen, kitted out with necessities, and guests are greeted with a welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits. There's a delightfully overgrown walled garden and a smart three-bedroom garden apartment. 

Aston Suites

Prices for these serviced studios in three converted Victorian houses are a bargain for the location. Aston Suites are situated on a quiet residential street just south of Gloucester Road station. Although small with tiny bathrooms, they have well-equipped galley kitchenettes, satellite TV and cheerful decoration. There are larger family and executive studios, which - unsurprisingly - cost more.
