The Best Accommodation in London for Families

Here we look at the best accommodation in London for families. When travelling with children, it’s important to choose your accommodation carefully. Hotels can make things tricky, especially if you’re not a standard 2 adult 2 children family. Instead, a serviced apartment will ensure you have the perfect space. With separate bedrooms for the children, and somewhere you can prepare breakfast at a time to suit you, London serviced apartments or Apart Hotels are the solution.
