London Vacation Rentals

Whether it is an upscale modern apartment, a cozy flat in a historic district, or a coach home adjacent to a larger property, vacation homes in London make it possible for travelers to see this world class city as the locals do—and at very affordable prices.

London vacation rentals are conveniently located near the extensive Underground rapid transit system, which is also known as the Tube, or what American visitors might call the subway. No matter what they call it, the Underground is the most efficient way to get around London and all of its historic attractions, such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Tower of London and Big Ben.

For a city with nearly 2,000 years of history, there are plenty of ultramodern attractions as well. Travelers can take in the sights and sounds of the traffic, lights, and other activity in and around Piccadilly Circus. Piccadilly Circus is connected to the theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue, as well as the Haymarket, Coventry Street (which leads to Leicester Square), and Glasshouse Street. When looking for a vacation rental in London, try to find a location that is close to where the action is—and Piccadilly is close to major shopping and entertainment areas in the West End.

Another relatively new attraction is the London Eye, a state of the art Ferris Wheel that was constructed to celebrate the new millennium. It is the tallest Ferris Wheel in Europe and one of the most popular paid attractions in Europe. Beatle fans also like to visit Abbey Road, if only to have themselves photographed at the crosswalk made famous by the Abbey Road album cover.

For those who would prefer a driving tour of London without doing the actual driving, there are red double decker tour buses that take tourists to all of London’s most photographed places. London vacation homes enable travelers to spend less time in transit and more time actually traveling, by keeping guests close to all of the landmarks that have contributed to this city’s proud heritage.
