Location: London < England

A stone's throw from the Houses of Parliament and the River Thames, and ten minutes walk from Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square, this enormous apartment is just about as central as you can get. The flat is situated on a quiet pretty street with original Victorian gas lamps, in the peaceful oasis of a conservation area tucked away behind Westminster Abbey. Most of London's major attractions are withing walking distance - cross the river at Westminster Bridge to reach the London Eye and the South Bank, or stay north of the river and walk up Whitehall past Downing Street to Leicester Square and Covent Garden. The green space of St James Park is ten minutes away, and the nearest tubes are St James or Westminster giving easy access to the city. Oxford Circus is a 30 minute walk, and Victoria Station and the Gatwick Express are a short cab or bus ride away. There is a small supermarket close by, and the area is well provided with shops and restaurants.

Excellent base to explore London

milochka Russia
Review Submitted: September 16, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We rented this apartment for our parents - they visited us for four days in August 09. Our take is:

- the location is perfect: 5 minutes walking distance from Houses of Parliament and Westminster, so one can start exploring London straight after arrival. In our case the location worked very well because our parents are not much into walking and they enjoyed a quiet hour in the apartment in between visiting various attractions.

- the apartment is spacious (more so then the pictures suggest) and very clean with excellent range of furniture and all necessary kitchen appliances/dishes/crockery so one can cook there. The dining area sits 8+ which worked very well for family dinners.

- the owner is helpful and responds all the queries very quickly. The contract was reasonable, and the owners returned the deposit on the same day as agreed.

Overall our and our parents' experience was excellent; we would definitely rent this apartment again when they visit us next year.

We hope it's helpful and good luck!

Great Apartment in Central London

Lovin' London Stratham, NH USA
Review Submitted: July 28, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
My family (wife, 3 daughters, sister, and niece) stayed in this beautiful apartment for 3 nights in mid July 2009. We thought it was fantastic! The apt is ideally located on a quiet charming street in the heart of Westminster and is in close walking distance to many of London's major attractions. Westminster Abbey, Parliament, Big Ben (which you can hear with the windows open), London Eye, River Thames are all just a few minutes walk away.

Victoria Station, Trafalgar Square and multiple major theaters are also within easy walking distance. In the morning we enjoyed jogging past Buckingham Palace to Green Park and Kensington Gardens.

The spacious apartment was immaculate and comfortably furnished with large couches, large screen tv and dvd in the large living room. The rooms and walls were beautifully decorated with artwork the owners have collected from around the world. The owners, Sally and Matthew, greeted us upon our arrival and gave us a quick tour of the apartment and made sure we knew where everything was and how to operate appliances. They immediately made us feel comfortable in their London home and left us listings and maps of their favorite local restaurants, shops, and other points of interest. When we had a slight problem with the security system, they returned our calls immediately and made absolutely certain everything was resolved to our satisfaction. They couldn't have been more accomodating.

We stayed 3 nights, but wished we could've stayed longer in this wonderful London location. I recommend this apartment for any large, or small, family or gathering looking for a relaxed and comfortable place to stay in the heart of London. We look forward to returning someday.

Summer in London

ruth and nina Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada
Review Submitted: June 15, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
My family enjoyed a wonderful week in this spacious and luxurious apartment located right behind Westminster Abbey!
The street is quiet and peaceful yet we were steps away from the river Thames, the Eye, the houses of parliament and much more. Within a half hour walk we could visit all the central tourist destinations in London, including Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar square, the West End and Covent Garden.
The apartment is a comfortable haven amidst the bustle of London and is an absolutely delightful home in which to relax, recuperate and recover from the adventures London has to offer.
