Luxury self-catering accommodation in London
The UK's capital city is a varied sprawl of town, parkland, riverways and even peaceful heath, catering for the multitude of guests passing through each year.
Think of London and you'll probably conjure up that iconic skyline of St Paul's, the London Eye and the Shard, all well worth a visit for anyone coming to town. Greater London is the core with 33 boroughs and The City itself covers 1.1 square miles, packing workers daily into its grey-stone streets. Best explored on foot or by boat, London is a city of contrasts, from the glitzy shopping portals of Knightsbridge and Kensington to the wide river Thames snaking from east to west. Pick a pretty city apartment and head out with a map and a travel card.
Start with the trilogy of museums at South Kensington; the V&A, Natural History and Science Museum. Both Tates (Modern and Britain) have extensive exhibitions, as does the National Gallery on lion-decked Trafalgar Square. Foodies love London's markets; Borough, Camden and Portobello all cater for round-the-world tastes, so pack a picnic to take to a city garden. Hyde Park flaunts boating on the Serpentine, Regents Park has the famous zoo, and Hampstead Heath is a wide expanse of hills, paths and swimming ponds, as well as a great hill for kites.
