Extended stay in central London? Skip the hotel
If planning an extended stay in central London, keep in mind that even the not-so-hot hotels can be rather expensive. One pleasant option might be to forego your hotel stay all together and, instead, rent a fully serviced residential accommodation ... at a fraction of what a hotel or bed & breakfast would cost.
At present, I've just moved back to London and will not be able to move into my flat for about a month. Until that time, my wife and I are shacked up at One Globe View, which seems a great option for anyone doing business or pleasure in the City of London or thereabout.

Our temporary flat was rented through City Apartments Ltd, a leading specialist provider of fully serviced residential accommodation in the City of London. In addition to being seconds from the Millennium Bridge, One Globe View features a quiet courtyard with nice water features (to be in such a trafficked location, this is a very tranquil building). A long list of amenities includes the following notables:
- Ridiculously low rates for overseas calls! For example, calls to the US are just 10p (that's less than 20¢)for the whole of the first hour - calls to Australia are just 20p for the whole first hour and calls other 'major destinations' also have 'almost free' calling rates;
- Free wireless internet in our room;
- Weekly cleaning/laundry service as well as our own in-room washer/dryer;
- A full kitchen with dishwasher, all necessary utensils, etc (even some food);
- Nice TV with full package Sky Digital Television, DVD player, etc;
- and considerably more, such as fresh cut flowers.
