Things to do in London
Here is a tailored guide that helps you navigate the plethora of options to find the perfect spot to call home during your trip to London.
Location:
Areas like South Kensington, Covent Garden, Westminster and Chelsea offer proximity to family-friendly attractions and amenities. While the prices around here may be slightly on the higher end, you can still find moderately priced hotel options within a one to two mile radius of these locations.
Spacious Comfort:
Look for accommodation options that offer ample space. This is particularly tricky in Central London, but it is not impossible. Serviced apartments and residences are always an excellent choice for family-friendly accommodation in London. Alternatively, opt for hotel rooms with connecting rooms or extra beds.
Accessibility to Transportation:
The most effective and efficient way to discover London is by public transportation. Proximity to tube stations and bus stops simplifies logistics, especially when navigating with strollers or little ones, which reduces travel stress for the entire family.
Family-Friendly Amenities:
Look for hotels that offer family-friendly amenities such as a kids' concierge, cribs, high chairs, playroom, babysitting and nanny services. Some hotels even offer curated onsite kids' club activities such as treasure hunts, baking and cooking classes and biking adventures in nearby Hyde Park or Green Park.
Flexibility and Personalization:
Opt for accommodation options that offer flexibility and personalization to meet your family's unique needs. Whether it's requesting adjoining rooms, arranging for early check-ins or late check-outs or requesting special needs and meals, choose establishments that prioritize customer satisfaction and accommodation flexibility.
