56 Luxury London Vacation Apartments for Rent

Planning a trip to London England? The hardest part of your London trip planning might be finding accommodations. Don’t get me wrong, London has a lot of options to choose from, but maybe too many.

That’s why I’ve curated this list of the best London vacation apartments for rent for your next trip.

Why did I create this list of vacation rentals in London? I too was looking for a rented apartment for my London trip and was overwhelmed by where to stay and the sheer volume of places to choose from.

I carefully selected affordable luxury London vacation rentals that offer you a home-away-from-home experience with high-stylized designed spaces in ideal locations. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with friends, or as a family – I’ve sourced options based on the number of guests, location, and all budgets. The price per night cost is represented by £ as a guide: £ = very affordable luxury ££ = luxury £££ = a very indulgent luxury

Vacation Rentals in London: The Neighbourhoods

London is made up of a series of interconnected, yet independent neighbourhoods. And there are a lot of them!

Even returning visitors to this capital city find it confusing – so first-timers, give yourself a bit of a break. To help you navigate your way around the city, I provide an overview of London’s best-known neighbourhoods and those that are lesser known by tourists. 

London’s best-known neighbourhoods

• Closest to the city’s most popular attractions include neighbourhoods of South Bank, London Bridge, Mayfair, Covent Garden, and Victoria
• One of the top places for nightlife in the UK capital is Soho due to the number of restaurants, bars, shops, and theatres. Some of the best places in Soho include Carnaby Street, Frith Street, and Soho Square  
• Known as one of the poshest areas of the city is Mayfair with its upscale shops, luxury hotels, and elegant streets. Mayfair is close to Hyde Park is offers a great number of restaurants 
• The City of London, known simply as The City is home to the financial district – modern skyscrapers dominate the city
• A popular hipster hang-out is London’s coolest neighbourhood of Shoreditch

London Travel Planning Tip : London’s metro, or the Tube, connects the whole city easily. Just because you are staying in one neighbourhood doesn’t mean you can’t easily go somewhere totally different. In fact, to see the London landmarks – be prepared to use transporation to get around the city.

London’s best-kept secret neighbourhoods

• One of the best all-around neighbourhoods in London is Marylebone and Fitzrovia as they have plenty of museums, pretty side streets, and are proximity to Mayfair and Regent’s Park
• Known for their quiet squares, literary history, and museums  are the neighbourhoods of Bloomsbury and Holburn 
• Wanting to live like a local while travelling stay in Clerkenwell known for its historic streets, fun markets, leafy squares, and pretty houses
• Stay in the heart of the city in Belgravia home to Buckingham Palace and all its embassies and ambassadors’ residences
• One of the most desirable places to live in London is Kensington due to its pretty mews, royal heritage and luxury boutiques, and proximity to Notting Hill

London Vacation Rental Using Plum Guide

Now that you know that each neighbourhood has its own charm it’s time to select the best vacation rental for your stay.

Have you heard of Plum Guide , the custom-curated marketplace of vacation rentals?

Well, let me introduce you. Plum Guide represents the top 3% of holiday homes . Each of their properties is carefully vetted through a long list of criteria with only the best ones being selected.

That means the chosen properties have the same calibre of design, aesthetics, and amenities.

I didn’t even look at other London vacation rental companies because Plum Guide is my go-to resource. I’ve stayed at their properties multiple times and it’s always exceeded my expectations.

For shorter stays, I will stay in a hotel, and if that’s your preference check out this curated list of the best affordable luxury boutique hotels in London .

The best Airbnbs in London

By Condé Nast Traveller and Sarah James

Getting under the skin of London – finding the coolest neighbourhoods and best restaurants in London – can be tricky. But living like a local, in one of the capital’s finest Airbnbs, or alternatively a OneFineStay or home via another tasteful rental company, is a brilliant place to start. We've scoured through the most beautiful London properties listed to bring you this edit: the smartest homestays in brilliant locations that we love the look of. For a stay with room service, see our edit of the best hotels in London .

Tried and tested

Fulham Lodge

Who knew that a derelict old keeper’s lodge on the outskirts of a cemetery could be transformed into such a phenomenal piece of modern architecture , spread over three floors and fit with a 43ft swimming pool? Owner Justin Maxwell Stuart had foresight. He took on the hefty project of renovating the 19th-century neo-gothic lodge, which was aired on Grand Designs in January 2021, and after four years of tiresome but impressive works, the place has been converted into a staggeringly attractive space – from abandoned house amid overgrown weeds to a smart and sophisticated London playden – this is the ultimate destination for a quirky break in the city. What’s more, when you book your stay with quality homes marketplace Smarter, it will give a portion of every booking to its sister charity Stay For Good Foundation as part of its commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon footprint.

Walking into the five-bedroom property, you’ll be struck first by the design and how every corner of space has been thoughtfully and thoroughly utilised. The open-plan living area on the ground floor is bright, slick and fun, playing with a blue-and-white colour palette in the walls and furnishings to create a non-clichéd nautical theme, which continues to run throughout the house, from the unique fish figurines to the cushions dotted about. The contemporary kitchen becomes the central hub and provides the perfect dinner party setting, with Great Gatsby -style bar stools and a grand long dining table to seat 10. The large bifold doors open out to a beautifully manicured garden and the two surrounding living areas provide both a room to read the paper with your morning coffee, and a spot to snuggle up in front of the TV in the evenings.

The best feature of the house though has got to be the spiralling stone staircase that takes you down to the outrageous basement, where there's a spa -like swimming pool and sauna, chill-out entertainment room with its own elaborate bar and an extensive wine cellar to have a peak at (this is strictly locked to guests but a salivating sight). Spend the days floating in a zen paradise and end them knocking back a few G&Ts. Stumble back upstairs to the master bedroom at the very top of the house for a peaceful retreat away from it all – wade your way through the thousands of cushions to hit the fluffy, plumped-up pillows on the superking bed – or hole up downstairs in one of the four other bedrooms. Enjoy a bubble bath in one of the humongous tubs, blast your favourite tunes from the sound system which has speakers paired up in most rooms, and dim the lights to create whatever atmosphere you are after.

The renovation of this lodge was extensive and there is now so much to it (did we mention the moat in the garden?). The fusion of old and new protects the historical charm of the house – it is still a classical gothic structure in the grounds of a cemetery – but open the door and you’ll be transfixed by the modern creativity and design. It is truly a thrilling place to stay. Cordelia Aspinall

Cockspur Street

Trafalgar Square

Who on earth lives on Trafalgar Square? The chap on the column, of course. And lots of pigeons. But this is grand-scale Monopoly-board London, a land of giants, of embassies, members’ clubs and museums . Does anyone actually live here? Well, turns out they do. This OneFineStay apartment sits five floors up opposite Canada House, just off the Square in what used to be Norway House, and provides a snug vantage point to dip in and out of central London as you like. Pick up provisions from Fortnum & Mason; take a morning stroll past Buckingham Palace and around St James’s Park to spot the pelicans; be first in line to see the Monets at the National Gallery .

The apartment has two spacious bedrooms, cooled by ceiling fans and set off a Georgian-blue-and-white hallway that feels like it belongs to a larger house, with two bathrooms on the other side, lined with swirling marble. At the far end is a small but well-equipped kitchen, and a clubby sitting room with beams from the original building and lined with reclaimed wooden panels. It’s a little like sitting inside a walnut, or a Jeeves and Wooster-era bachelor pad, with a vintage Harrow XI cricket bat in one corner, a deer-antler lamp in another, and a herringbone-print sofa and pneumatic armchairs to sprawl decadently in before mixing an afternoon Old Fashioned on the Calligaris teak dining table. A few clues to the owners, perhaps, in the Japanese flower art on the bedroom walls, and eclectic bookshelves that take in ceramics, Sarah Perry, British folk traditions and Norwegian geography. Easy enough to dawdle here for a day but just outside the windows is all the thrill – even for staycationing Londoners like ourselves – of the city beat. Weekend mornings here can be quieter than some backwater suburbs; the clop of horses heading to Hyde Park, the Post Office Tower greeting us with ‘Good Morning London’ on its digital display.

We downloaded a Treasure Trail map for our son and followed clues around Trafalgar Square, through back streets to unnoticed plaques and footnotes of history – the pub of two halves by Charing Cross, the map of the Trafalgar Way by Canada House. There’s some hidden history in this building too – above the door stands a statue of St Olav, sword in hand; during the war, with Norway occupied, Norway House hosted the government in exile, with King Haakon VII among the frequent visitors. Had he visited during our stay we might have taken him – via the OneFineStay concierge team – for pavement-side drinks at the Sofitel St James round the corner, or the bar at Da Henrietta in Covent Garden. In a part of the city that can feel imposing and impersonal at times, this is a little pocket of character and warmth. Rick Jordan

A smart, super-central maisonette

Minutes away from Mayfair , Bond Street and Regent’s Park and on the corner of villagey Marylebone High Street, this two-storey 18th-century townhouse could hardly be more central – although we couldn’t possibly tell while inside its quiet sanctuary. Filled with moody, muted art and vintage furniture pieces, the subway-tiled kitchen and bathroom are simple but cool and retro, while the spacious bedrooms are tucked snugly downstairs on the lower-ground floor, and the grand, high-ceilinged living-dining area is centred around an unforgettable, eye-catching marble fireplace. There’s even a tree right outside the imposing front door that manages to blossom in the heart of winter. It's one of hundreds of London homes that you can stay in via OneFineStay, and a booking here also includes a welcome and tour from a concierge, a hamper filled with goodies such as special batch coffee, English sparkling wine , tea and shortbread, and, if you want them, more tailored experiences such as cookery classes or a nanny service.

A traditional flat

Knightsbridge

This is the London Airbnb for culture lovers – set just a few minutes' walk from some of London’s finest museums , including the V&A and the Natural History Museum. Floral fabrics wouldn’t look out of place in a grand country pile, and there are quirky touches – tall lamps, hand-blown glass vases, a gallery wall in the living room – dotted around the snug space. 

Sleeps : Two Price : From £135 a night Website : airbnb.com

Private mews maisonette

You can occasionally nab this two-storey maisonette, set on a quintessentially London mews , for short stays. But more often, the space in glossy Knightsbridge is hired out by those looking to stay in London for longer periods. Jewel-toned fabrics and deep oak wood make the otherwise light-filled space feel moody and expensive.

Sleeps : Eight Price : From £280 a night Website : airbnb.com

A classic apartment

Anyone who lives in London knows the rarity of having your very own outdoor space. This ground-floor flat in Chelsea opens onto a south-facing patio that acts as an all-day sun trap. Inside, host Marc has made use of lots of geometric stripes to make the space feel roomier than it is – on the open fireplace’s chimney breast in the living room, in one of the two bedrooms, and the sweet breakfast room. 

Sleeps : Five Price : From £150 a night Website : airbnb.com

A designer townhouse

A classic, pastel -painted townhouse near Chelsea’s Sloane Square is the setting for this serene Airbnb. Interiors are more muted than the candy-coloured façade might suggest – monochromatic armchairs, a glossy, oatmeal-hued kitchen, four creamy bedrooms. There’s room for six around the formal dining table, which makes this a brilliant option for those hosting during their time in the capital, and a compact but cute patio for those rare sunshiny days.

Sleeps : Seven Price : From £1,200 a night Website : airbnb.com

A multi-storey penthouse

This three-floor penthouse in arty Bloomsbury is stuffed with unusual details: a grand four-poster in one of the bedrooms, a futuristic glassy wardrobe in another, a huge, copper bath in one of the ensuites. There are two pretty terraces – set up breakfast outside as central London comes to life in the streets below.

Sleeps: Eight Price: From £593 a night Website: airbnb.com

An arty apartment

Holland Park

The pretty first-floor balcony at this West London flat overlooks the peaceful streets around leafy Holland Park, a corner of the capital that’s close to Kensington Gardens and Notting Hill . The flat’s double-height ceilings give the feeling of bags of space and the panelled living room is packed with art.

Sleeps: Two Price: From £275 per night Website: airbnb.com

A quirky Georgian townhouse

This Georgian property sits in a row of classic North London terraces. The deep colours used on the ground floor – a soothing, grey-green living room and bold navy kitchen – are balanced out by the light-filled bedrooms upstairs. The house is just steps from Islington Green and Camden Passage, and a short walk from Hoxton, on the edge of East London .

Sleeps: Four Price: From £295 a night Website: airbnb.com

A light-filled flat

Notting Hill

The open-plan kitchen is the heart of this Notting Hill split-level flat. There’s an open fireplace for cosy nights in, and exposed brick walls add texture to the clean white-washed rooms. The loveliest of the two bedrooms has a roll-top bath and there’s a petite study overlooking the surrounding rooftops. The roof terrace might be this Airbnb’s biggest draw: it overlooks the buzzy neighbourhood below.

Sleeps: Four Price: From £275 a night Website: airbnb.com

A Victorian townhouse

This vast pad sits on the upper cusp of Islington , on a quiet cobblestone street lined with grand Victorian buildings. Interiors are cosy and colourful – a mustard-velvet armchair is offset by calming sage walls in the living room, and there is bang-on-trend Seventies geometric wallpaper in the hallways. The sweet sun-trap terrace is a brilliant spot for a pre-supper drink before you head out to one of the neighbourhood’s best restaurants – we recommend pasta spot Trullo.

Sleeps: Four Price: From £460 a night Website: airbnb.com

Your guide to London

All about london.

One of the world’s most visited cities, London is a rich tapestry of history, culture, and innovation that come together seamlessly over 600 square miles on the River Thames. Even if you’ve never been to the English capital, chances are you’re familiar with its sights like Big Ben, London Bridge, and Buckingham Palace. You could spend months exploring its world-class museums, sprawling Victorian gardens, and A-list theaters and still not scratch the surface.

London’s creative drive extends beyond the exhibition halls and onto the plate. The city is an epicenter of gastronomy, boasting some of the most diverse cuisine in the world. Indian curry houses line Brick Lane, Jamaican jerk chicken shops populate New Cross, and the aroma of grilled Turkish kebabs welcomes you to Stoke Newington. In between meals, you’ll find high-fashion boutiques, niche markets, and some of the oldest bookstores in Europe. Just make sure you save time to spend a Sunday afternoon with a classic roast dinner and your beverage of choice at a corner pub — you’ll fall in love with London in an entirely different way.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in London

London’s weather is fairly mild year-round, but that does not mean it is always warm and sunny. Rain is part of the charm in the capital, so it’s smart to pack an umbrella and a trench coat. Flowering trees and blooming gardens make spring a lovely time to visit, while a visit in December promises Christmas markets and holiday magic that emanates across the city. The weather is likely to be the best in summer, while chilly winter days make for a perfect excuse to park yourself in front of the fireplace and warm your stomach with some snacks at a pub. Regardless of when you go, keep in mind that there is no off-season in London and no shortage of apartments to rent.

Top things to do in London

Shopping in shoreditch.

Every Sunday, London’s trendiest neighborhood is home to Brick Lane market. Wander past buskers playing live music and striking street art, and you’ll find stalls selling vintage clothing, antiques, and wares by local designers. Duck into basement thrift shops and past warehouse doors that house artist ateliers, and follow your nose to Upmarket, a sprawling street food hall, for a smorgasbord of international snack options.

Barbican Centre

Amble past the Southbank booksellers and turn your eye to the Brutalist beauty that is the Barbican. Part apartment block, part multidisciplinary art complex, it’s a one-stop shop for revolving contemporary art exhibitions, to take in a London Symphony Orchestra concert, see the season’s top-billed independent theatre, or watch an arthouse film. And in December it hosts one of the city’s most charming outdoor Christmas markets.

If you’re looking for views, you won’t get better ones than from the tip top of the Shard, a 72-story skyscraper that towers above London Bridge. It houses several restaurants and bars, each one serving up delectable views over the city skyline. Whether you’re after modern British fare, craft cocktails, or afternoon tea, you’ll feel on top of the world looking out the floor-to-ceiling glass windows with the whole city sprawled beneath. Naturally, the most impressive views are to be found at sunset and into the night.
