Best London-Lambeth holiday apartments

In many ways, London is actually like a collection of towns all joined together into one huge metropolis. One of those areas is Lambeth, which lies just across the Thames from Westminster and right in the heart of the city. Lambeth has retained much of its character and has a strong local identity. A holiday apartment in Lambeth is a great way of accessing that atmosphere. Your holiday apartment in Lambeth will see you staying right in the centre of the local population, instead of remote from the environment in a tourist hotel. If you have considered couchsurfing in Lambeth but would like a little more comfort and privacy, then our holiday accommodation in Lambeth could be for you. With your own room or apartment you still get an authentic travel experience but with that bit more luxury.

Exploring the capital from your holiday apartment in Lambeth

In the 19th century, Lambeth was just a marsh but its close proximity to Westminster meant that it quickly grew. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in London that is right in the centre of the city but still has its own unique feel then Lambeth could be for you. Lambeth is incredibly well situated. Westminster Palace, the House of Commons and Big Ben are just a few minutes’ walk across Westminster Bridge and national rail is accessed via Waterloo Station, which is also adjacent. Attractions like the London Eye and Imperial War Museum are all within walking distance and the area has some great gastropubs and ethnic restaurants, especially featuring West Indian cooking.

An alternative to your holiday accommodation in Lambeth

With so many neighbourhoods to choose from, you are sure to find something to suit your preferences and a holiday apartment in West Kensington could fit the bill. To the west of the city centre and north of the Thames, this area has renowned Victorian architecture with many entire streets listed. A mixed population of locals, with plenty of cosmopolitan influences, combines with a sizable student population to lend the area a vibrant cultural life. There are lots of restaurants, gastropubs and bars and the area also has fast connections to the close by city centre.

Moving on from Lambeth and leaving London

Lovers of architecture will appreciate a holiday apartment in Bath where a short trip to the West Country will take you to this beautiful town where the entire centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, due to its imposing and sweeping Arcadian crescents. That architecture extends further back in time and the city takes its name from one of the best preserved Roman baths to be found anywhere. A trip across the English Channel, meanwhile, will take you to a holiday apartment in Paris where the broad boulevards feature similarly impressive architecture, not to mention some wonderful restaurants.
