Stay in self-catering accommodation in London for best value holidays

London is a world famous city popular with holidaymakers the world over. Many holidaymakers are unaware of the possibility of a self catering accommodation stay in London which for families or large groups can often offer better value for money than a conventional hotel stay.  What would you prefer to have, a single hotel room or a complete apartment to yourself?  Self-catering holiday homes in London and the suburbs offer a good quality 'home form home' enabling holidaymakers to feel perfectly safe, secure and at ease in the capital. Go out during the day to explore London and enjoy yourself, return to your holiday apartment, houseboat or house after a tiring day and relax. Because you have full cooking facilities, you are easily able to rustle up a tasty dinner or simply microwave a frozen meal.

Being a capital city, there is a wealth of holiday lettings in London, across all boroughs. Rooms are fully prepared for your self-catering stay, supplied with linen, towels and everything that you would expect of holiday accommodation. Rent a house to possibly have a garden, most probably quite small but still nice to sit out in during warmer months. Modern holiday apartments may have balconies and luxury apartments could have a basement swimming pool.

In some respects, it does not matter too much where you rent in London the city has a large underground train network, called the Tube, which offers a fast and largely reliable service.  London buses are also a good option.  There are also black London cabs which although good for getting around, are an expensive choice.  Driving in London is not advised due to congestion and lack of parking opportunities in the city.
