London is one of the most touristic cities in the world. People flock to see the history of England at first-hand. Buckingham Palace, down through the Mall and round to Westminster – London is a city to be discovered.
London accommodation, however, can be quite expensive. If you are travelling with your family or a group of friends, a much more cost-effective option can be to rent a self-catered apartment for the duration of your stay in London.
London rentals are available across both central London and many of the outlying boroughs, depending on where you would like to be based. Obviously apartments in central London will carry a higher premium, however, if you are going self-catered there are often other ways to reduce the overall costs.
Self-catered apartments mean that you are able to reduce unnecessary expenditure on eating and drinking during your stay. Even buying a cup of coffee can be expensive. If you have a self-catered apartment it is easy to make breakfast and lunch, thereby upping your available budget for dinner.
When in London it is a must to catch a show. Often it is possible to get reduced price theatre tickets during the daytime in either Covent Garden or around Leicester Square. This can be a good way to see a performance at a fraction of the price. It's a really good idea to make the most of your London trip by doing some research first before you go. Check what is on and make a plan before you arrive.
