Vacation rentals in London
London rewards slow travel: a self-catering flat in Kensington, Shoreditch, or Notting Hill gives you a kitchen, laundry, and a neighborhood to come home to between museums and West End nights.
Best time to book
May–June and September–October for mild weather and long days; December brings markets and lights with the shortest daylight.
Common rental types
Serviced apartments · Period conversion flats · Mews houses · Family townhouses
Getting there
Fly into Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW); the Elizabeth line and Gatwick Express reach central London in 30–45 minutes. Once here, use the Tube, buses, and your feet — a car is a liability.
