Heading to the heart of the London for a few days or more? Here are eleven of our very best Airbnb apartments in London…
Before you dive into booking your trip, you’ll want to figure out where to stay. To help you out, we’ve picked some of the best Airbnbs across the city – with insider tips from locals who know it best. Think cosy pubs, green parks, world-class food and plenty to explore, whatever the season.
Staying in London: Should You Book an Airbnb or a Hotel?
London’s packed with brilliant hotels – from budget-friendly finds to luxe spots with all the trimmings. That said, even the cheaper ones can be a bit pricey, and they’re usually dotted around the busier, tourist-heavy parts of town. If you're after a more local feel (and maybe a better deal), an Airbnb could be the way to go. You’ll get to explore a lesser-known neighbourhood and live like a proper Londoner. But if hotels are more your vibe, don’t worry – we’ve rounded up our favourite ones across the city too.
