Just moments away from this Mayfair home, you’ll find Regents Street with its flagship stores and award-winning restaurants. For cool art galleries, you can head to Cork Street or there are plenty of boutiques to browse on this home’s street too. Many of London’s key attractions are within walking distance – we’re talking Buckingham Palace, Leicester Square and the British Museum. There are views out over this Mayfair street from this apartment’s large windows. If you’re looking for a more lived-in feel, we’d say this home is more minimal in its décor and furnishings. Also, at full capacity, the dining room may feel a bit cramped, but with all these eateries on your doorstep, will you be dining in much? *Access to this home is via a shared entrance *There are stairs to climb here *The decor is very simple and generic and the aesthetics are not quite up to Plum Guide's usual standards – we've made an exception to let this one ...

Waking up is a treat when it means getting to relax in the master bathroom’s soaking tub or strutting to the shower beneath the second bathroom’s lantern ceiling. With a constant carousel of things to see...

Yes, foreigners can rent longer stay rentals in London. Renting accommodation in London as a foreigner is a common practice, and there are generally no legal restrictions preventing foreigners from renting apartments or other types of housing for extended periods.
When renting a longer stay rental in London as a foreigner, you will typically be required to provide certain documents and meet specific requirements, similar to what is expected of local residents. These requirements may include:
Identification: You will need to provide a valid form of identification, such as a passport or national identity card.
Proof of Income: Landlords often require proof of income to ensure that you can afford the rent. This may include pay stubs, employment contracts, or bank statements. Alternatively, if you're a student or unemployed, you might need a guarantor who can provide proof of income.
References: Some landlords may request references from previous landlords or employers to vouch for your reliability as a tenant. If you don't have UK-based references, international references may suffice.
Security Deposit: You will likely be asked to pay a security deposit, typically equivalent to one or two months' rent, which is refundable at the end of the tenancy if the property is in good condition.
Rental Contract: You will need to sign a tenancy agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. It's essential to review the contract carefully before signing and to ensure that you understand your rights and obligations as a tenant.
Residence Status: While being a foreigner doesn't necessarily prevent you from renting in London, you might need to demonstrate your legal right to reside in the UK. This could include having a valid visa, residency permit, or other relevant documentation.
It's also worth noting that some landlords or rental agencies may have specific requirements or preferences, so it's essential to inquire about the rental process and any necessary documentation when searching for accommodation in London as a foreigner. Working with a reputable real estate agency or rental platform can help facilitate the rental process and ensure that you find suitable accommodation.
