London Vacation RentalLux Pod, Central London luxury hi-tech self-catering accommodation rental

CHILL OUT WATCHING TV & LISTENING TO MUSIC: For music buffs who have not down-sampled their music on their i-Pods or i-Phones you can plug it into the dock provided and listen through the time domain audio system for a great sound experience. You can lounge around on the armchair which opens out to become a chaise longe. The TV, radio, Lutron Grafik-Eye lighting system and shade are all controlled via the remote control. There are four different lighting moods to select on the Lutron system and upon leaving the Lux Pod (if you can tear yourself away from it) one press of a button in the lobby turns off the lights and puts the floor to ceiling shade (blind) down.

SNACKING & WORKING AT THE POD: The stainless steel top of the Norbert Wangen K4 kitchen slides open to allow two funky Italian Soft line translucent blue bar stools to be placed either side, for convivial meals or computer usage via WI-FI broadband, should you wish to work a little. (Please place carpet square under stools). The K4 kitchen is fully equipped with an oven/microwave/grill and fridge and two ceramic hobs. The hobs only work with the pans supplied. The hob is very efficient and should not be turned up more than 5. On the door step there are about 10 places to have coffee, alternatively you can make an espresso with the Alessi espresso coffee maker designed by Richard Sapper. For tea buffs there is also a Richard Sapper Alessi 9091 kettle (exhibited at the Design Museum in Gent). For the more health conscious freshly squeezed orange juice can be made using an Italian Alessi electric juicer. You will find items in the fridge for your enjoyment upon your arrival as well. Please ENJOY!

ORIENTATION PERSONAL GUIDED COMPANION: If you require a half day orientation companion please let us know and that can also be arranged. It can be for shopping for designer clothing in Knights bridge and South Kensington, home furnishings and clothing from the local areas mentioned above, and specialist interior design related soft furnishings, furniture and accessories in the areas of W1 London, South Kensington SW7, Kensington W8 and Chelsea SW3 and Design Centre Chelsea Harbour. Or a quick introduction to the many galleries, such as the Tate Modern, Tate Museum, National Portrait Gallery, National Gallery, Wallace Collection and Royal Academy of Arts to name a few. A complimentary Time Out magazine is in the Lux Pod in order for you to see what's on in London. We hope you enjoy your stay at a very special place and that you will return many times over. Best wishes from the creators of the Lux Pod!

Golf: Golf can be arranged. The golf courses are outside Central London and require a private driver to get there. GUESTS COMMENTS SO FAR 'Everything is perfect with the Lux Pod.'

Absolutely love it.' 6th July 2008 WHAT THE PUBLICATIONS ARE PRINTING! 'Some projects just grow and grow – they take hold like lusty seeds, and in the fertile ground of the imagination they prosper and bloom. And none more so than the unassuming storage room that morphed into a swanky des res, trading off its fashionable west London postcode.' Forthcoming magazine article, written by Duncan Hayes, photographed by David Cowlard to be published in Build It Magazine, UK in Autumn 2008. The Evening Standard newspaper wrote “As a showroom for the best of everything in compact design, this is an amazing achievement”.
