London Luxury Apartment Accommodation
The apartment is ideally located for travellers, a short walk or train ride to most major London attractions.
Within walking distance
Tower of London
The Tower of London is one of the most famous landmarks in the world, instantly recognisable...and only a short walk from the apartment. Its fame is well-earnt, with an exciting (and often bloody!) history. Not to be missed are the Crown Jewels, the White Tower and the armour of Henry VIII. It's well worth doing a tour led by a Yeoman Warder (a 'Beefeater') and hearing tales of treachery, torture and passion from the Tower's past.
Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge is another iconic landmark of London. Opened in 1894, it has become one of the best-known bridges in the world. As well as walking across the bridge, it's also worth going to the Tower Bridge Experience, where you can take a lift up to the two enclosed walkways across the top of the bridge, giving you a wonderful view of the Thames.
St Katherines Dock
HMS Belfast
The HMS Belfast is a former Royal Navy light cruiser which is now permanently anchored in the Thames near Tower Bridge. The Belfast saw action in the Second World War and was opened to the public as a tourist attraction in 1971.
Brick Lane
Brick Lane is a street in the heart of the East End. It's famous not only for its many curry houses, but also for being the site of the first of the eleven Whitechapel Murders attributed to Jack the Ripper. It is also one of the locations visited on the local Jack the Ripper nighttime walking tours.
Close but a little further, a longer walk or a short train trip
Canary Wharf
Located in the West India Docks, which once formed part of the busiest docks in the world, Canary Wharf is one of the two main business districts in London. It also has a large shopping centre.
London Eye
Greenwich
Greenwich is the location of Greenwich Mean Time and the Meridian Line. It is also the home of the Greenwich Observatory, the Royal Naval College and the National Maritime Museum.
Borough Market
The Borough Market is one of the biggest food markets in London. It is located next to Southwark Cathedral.
Old Spitalfields market
The Old Spitalfields market is a covered market located just outside The City. Each day of the week has a different theme, such as clothing or jewellery, and there are different stalls every day.
The City.....the financial heart of London
St Paul's Cathedral
St Paul's is an Anglican cathedral that sits atop Ludgate Hill, the highest point in The City. It is still a working church, with hourly prayer and daily services. St Paul's was also used for the marriage of the Princes of Wales and Lady Diana. It is also possible to climb to the Dome, which offers views across London.
The Bank of England Museum
The Bank of England Museum is located at the Bank of England in The City and is open to the public on weekdays. It has information about the history of the bank and also examples of part of the Bank's collection of coins and banknotes. There's even a real gold bar that you can touch!
Mansion House
Mansion House is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of the City of London.
Pudding Lane....where the Great fire of London started
The Monument
The Gerkin
Walks
This is a wonderful area to walk. Stroll along the Thames embankment to The Tower of London, or cross Tower Bridge to Shad Thames. Do a Jack the Ripper walk and see the sights where the notorious murders occurred. Walk along The Thames to Canary Wharf or just wander the historic lanes and streets of Wapping.
