London Holiday Apartments - Be Careful With London Holiday Accommodation.

London – that´s it! The capital of United Kingdom, enormous, multicultural, different as any other city. You can find there everything you wish for: from the majestic Buckingham Palace, through the harmony of Hyde Park ending on the uniqueness of Brick Lane. So it is a perfect place for booking a holiday accommodation. But! You have to be very careful if looking for an apartment…

Many tourists attracted by low prices book apartments in the areas of “fear”, where the afternoon walk can end up poorly. London is generally a safe vacation place, as long as you do not put yourself in unnecessary danger. As every big city it has some the areas that can be dangerous because of prostitution and drugs, so better collect some information before choosing the district to spent your holidays.

Here are some areas that you should better avoid:

-Brixton

-Kings cross back streets

- Elephant & Castle

-parts of Hackney

- Harlesden

- Willesden

- Peckham

Even if there are nice places in those areas they have on average rather a poor reputation.

On the other hand there are still many people who book their apartments without paying attention to the distance to the city centre and the most important tourists attractions. Even if the districts are nice, full of parks and rather quiet and save, you have to take into consideration that reaching the city centre would take you more than 1 hour. Do not forget, that you will do that every day and probably it is much better to pay a bit more and save on transport and time.
Most of the tourist attractions are situated in:

-the City
-Westend
-Central Bank

However you have to remember that areas as:Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Brompton, Kensington, Chelsea, South Kensington, Fulham, Belgravia, Holland Park, Notting Hill, St John's Wood, Marylebone and Soho; are extremely expensive to live, so probably the London holiday apartments would cost there a bit more.

Other important issue... London is an expensive city and it has it´s settled prices. Do not expect to find an apartment in extraordinary cheap price. If it seems to be in a good location and the price differs a lot from the average price you can be almost sure, that there is something wrong there. Before booking checkexactly the opinion about the agency, look for the customers opinions and forums comments. The website should be reputable and have some experience at the field of apartment rentals
