Short stay Studio & 1 or 2 bedroom apartments in London have become much more widespread over the last few years. Long gone are the days when you had to rent an apartment for a week or more.

Short lets for studios and apartments for as little as one night are available just like a hotel, and you can book instantly on-line without going into tedious and lengthy communications with owners.


The traditional place where many of the apartments suitable for visitors were located was in Kensington. Kensington is still an excellent place to look for apartment accommodation. Whether you wish to eat in or dine out the Kensington district has lots of choice for you, wherever your accommodation.


We have a briefing page about the London Kensington district which covers quite an area just to the west of London, on the way out to Heathrow Airport. If you are flying into Heathrow, Kensington is the closest hotel district to Heathrow and the London Underground provides a direct link with trains every 5 minutes.


Kensington is one of the most affluent districts in the UK. At its eastern end is exclusive Knightsbridge with Harrods its most famous landmark.

Hyde Park, London's largest park is in the area also.

Towards the western end of Kensington is the Gloucester Road and Earls Court area of Kensington. There are 3 large supermarkets in this area, a rarity for Central London.
