The South East England / Greater London region

London - cosmopolitan, diverse and exciting - capital of the United Kingdom and the largest city in the European Union. History and culture collide with you at every point- jump the tube (that's the metro/subway in our British lingo!) and explore the historic sights of the Tower of London with the Crown Jewels, Tower Bridge The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben at Westminister, and St Paul's Cathedral; take a trip on the London Eye with its panoramic views across London; or a river taxi down the Thames to Greenwich craft market, the Cutty Sark and the Meridien Time Line; or how about some shopping at some of our world famous stores such as Harrods, Hamleys Toy Shop, Selfrides and Harvey Nicholls or a trip for the young and old to Madame Tussards and the Planetarium...and that's just for starters.If you are coming from May, then there's the Royal Chelsea Flower Show (24-28 May 2011), Wimbledon (20 June - 3 July 2011), Ascot horse races, and International cricket and rugby matches.

If it's culture you want, there are no shortage of West End Theatre shows, opera and ballet at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, international art exhibitions at the National Art Gallery and National Portrait galleries in Trafalgar Square, The Tate Modern on the Thames, and the many world class museams such as the British Museum and Victoria and Albert (V &A) Museum which house many of the spoils of Britain's colonial past.

For children and young people, there's the superb Natural History Museum for dinosaurs and Darwin, the Science Museum where you can fly like superman or learn something new through their many exciting interactive exhibitions, or the London Dungeons for a trip into London's sordid past! Come summer, London's parks open up to concerts and open air festivals showcasing the best of British pop music, or take a river taxi to the O2 concert halls in Greenwich to see a big band if you are lucky.

If you want to slow things down a bit, why not take a day trip by train from Waterloo station to Brighton on the South Coast, or Portsmouth, home of Britain's naval history. Alternatively, sample the historic English towns of Oxford, Cambridge and Winchester which are all within 45 minutes of London. Trains and coaches run regularly between London and all parts of the country, so it's easy to use the flat as a base to explore other parts of England that grab your fancy. We can't guarantee the British weather, but come rain or shine, one thing is for definite - this is one holiday you won't be short of things to do!

The Central London/Zone 2 / Battersea area

Shopping and entertainment
With good transport links to Sloane Square tube (Zone 1) and Battersea rail station, this flat is ideally located for those who want a cosmopolitan city break in one of London’s most fashionable and elegant areas. Designer shopping, stylish restaurants and trendy night-life are all on its doorstep, with Sloane Square, the famous Kings Road, Knightsbridge and famous stores such as Harrods and Harvey Nicholls just a 5 minute bus/taxi ride away, there is also easy access to the West End, Marble Arch, Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road.

At other time, If the weather is good, we would recommend a walk over the Chelsea Bridge and then stroll right along the river , past the Tate Art Gallery on the Embankment to Westminister, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament; or navigate your way to Sloane Square and around to Green Park, Buckingham Palace and March Arch. Look out along the way for London’s Blue Plaques which mark the residences where famous people used to live in London. Alternatively, jump the bus/tube and explore the sights.

The flat is a stone’s throw from The Royal Chelsea Flower Show (May), and is conveniently located to get to Wimbledon (June/July), and international cricket matches at The Oval cricket grounds by public transport. The international London fashion show is generally located in venues nearby.

Leisure and sports
A unique aspect of this city flat is that you can step out and enjoy the beautiful 200 acre historic Battersea Park opposite – here you can go for a peaceful stroll through its attractive gardens, have a picnic or enjoy the children’s zoo. For the more energetic, how about an early morning jog along the river, or sign up to play tennis, or go to the local gym. There is an athletics track for serious runners and a boating lake where you can hire peddalos and rowing boats for a pleasant trip on the lake where you can spot herons and various wildlife.

And don’t forget to check out the magnificent Peace Pagoda next to the river - given as a gift by Japanese monks and built in memory of the victims of the Hiroshima bombing. Horse riding and roller blading can be found at nearby Hyde Park.
