With countless boutiques and cocktail bars, as well as being wedged between two beautiful outdoor spaces – Hyde Park and Green Park – Mayfair has a lot to offer its visitors. Much like this fabulous apartment, this area of London is pure opulence, but can also offer a little serenity in a hectic city. Before you even get inside your home, your host sets the tone for a luxury stay. You’ll be offered a welcome gift, concierge, housekeeping, reservations for restaurants or West End shows, plus exclusive rates at a swanky nearby health club. Are you feeling pampered yet? Inside, the treats continue with kimonos imported from Japan, vintage Moroccan rugs (woven by hand), and sustainable bamboo flooring. You can make the most of the cosy outdoor decking area, but we imagine you’ll mostly be indoors – the decor is extremely tasteful and well thought out.

Originally built in the 1730s, this sumptuous apartment is a shining example of Georgian architecture. The building is one of the oldest in Mayfair – in 1821, famed Buckingham Palace architect Thomas Cubbit extended it – and you can see the character, history and period details in every room. It feels like a home you want to linger in, with new surprises waiting at every turn. We love the antique furniture – a clawfoot desk here, a fauteuil armchair there – but the smart kitchen, stylish bathroom and mod-cons like a rainfall shower, espresso machine and Netflix bring things in the 21st-century. We think it's the best of both worlds, and the location is even better. Ritzy and charming, Mayfair is home to leafy squares, cobbled lanes lined with cafes and some of the oldest shops in London.

Time travel back to the swinging psychedelic sixties with a stay in this beautifully curated apartment, located in the heart of Mayfair.

One of the most iconic landmarks on the southwest London skyline is without a doubt Battersea Power Station. But rather than simply visiting this striking structure, how about living inside it? A truly unique experience, just six minutes from the brand-new tube station of the same name, this duplex apartment offers luxury living in a coal-fired power station from the 1920s. Inside the home, you have incredible views of its world-famous chimneys from your two private balconies (one of which leads to a rooftop garden for residents). But it’s not just about the exterior. We love the decor in the apartment, such as the living space with its mid-century furnishings and rich wooden parquet floors.

Tucked between Covent Garden and Holborn, this contemporary duplex apartment offers a restful retreat in the city. Sleek and set up with everything needed for a comfortable stay, it’s an ideal base for a family or group of friends. But the main reason it caught our eye? It’s all about the location. With many iconic London hotspots within walking distance, such as the British Museum, the Royal Opera House, Leicester Square and Soho, there’s plenty to keep you entertained while you’re away. And for trips further afield, Holborn Station is a mere three minutes on foot. *This is a duplex apartment, so there are stairs to climb here. It may not suit those with limited mobility. *This apartment overlooks neighbouring homes. The views aren't the most inspiring and it lacks a little privacy. *Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

Our favourite spot has to be the study area which has views of the quiet tree-lined streets below from the gothic-style window. You'll feel completely at home here, whether you're gathering for a delicious meal around the dining table or nodding off in the chic bedrooms. And you couldn't ask for a better spot to explore the UK's capital.

Plus the dining options in Chelsea are some of the finest that the city has to ...
If you’re in search of a laidback stay in the heart of London, this apartment delivers a great solution. Located in Marylebone, it’s just a short stroll to Regent's Park and Hyde Park.

But there's plenty to do on your doorstep, from dining out to visiting the Sherlock Holmes Museum and Madame Tussauds. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. \n*For stays of 7 nights or longer, complimentary housekeeping and a linen/towel refresh are included\n*Expect some general signs of wear and tear here, such as some scuff marks on the walls and worn floors.\n*Your host will ask you to verify your ID via a 3rd-party link called Enso - you will receive your check-in details once completed.\n*Your host provides starter toiletries...

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.
