Best time to go

  • During spring: Book your luxury London accommodation in the spring and you have so much to see and do. Take a trip to the world-famous Kew Gardens to see the cherry blossom in full bloom. Head to the river for the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, or to Chelsea for the Flower Show.

  • During summer: it can get pretty hot in London in the summer with the temperatures climbing into the mid-80s°F (mid 20s°C). Fortunately, some of our holiday homes and apartments to rent in London have A/C. Or you can cool off with a touch of wild swimming at Hampstead Heath’s Swimming Ponds or Hyde Park’s Art Deco Serpentine Lido.

  • During autumn: the fall is a great time to visit and stay in one of our rentals in London. The crowds have gone and the weather is still warm. In September there’s the Totally Thames festival, a month of celebrations of the city’s artery, the River Thames. The London Restaurant Festival runs through October and is a wonderful opportunity to taste food from around the world.

  • During winter: don’t expect much in the way of snow in the capital, that’s a rare event. But that doesn’t stop Christmas markets from popping up all over the place. There’s plenty of availability for show tickets in the West End, too. You’ll need a warm coat and an umbrella, but there are always lots of cafés to pop into for a hot chocolate or coffee.

How to get there

Make the journey as memorable as the arrival. Your dedicated concierge can arrange transportation from the closest airport or train station to your London holiday rental home.

By plane

London is served by multiple airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Stanstead and London City Airport. Your dedicated concierge can arrange either Premium or Standard transfers to your vacation rental in London, England, from any arrival point.

By train

The city’s rail service is exceptional, with an international terminal for the Eurostar in the heart of the city, and the London Underground system covering all parts of the capital. Both overground and underground stations are located close to our London home rentals so it’s easy to get around.

By car

The local roads are notoriously congested, so if you’re staying at one of our London vacation rentals in the centre of the city, it’s best to avoid driving. However, if you want to explore a little further afield to the Cotswolds or the South Downs, your dedicated concierge can arrange car hire for you.

Local Tips

  • As you may be taking the tube (that’s the London Underground for those who don’t know!) we recommend that you pay with your contactless credit card - it's the same price as an Oyster card and much more convenient.
  • Like many European capitals, the best way to discover parts of the city (and especially the parks) is on foot. You can also go horseback riding in Hyde Park.
  • Some of the popular attractions of the city get crowded, especially during school holidays. Booking well in advance or ask your dedicated concierge to arrange passes to avoid the long queues.
