Holiday Cottages in London

Visit iconic landmarks and attractions on a central London city break

It will take more than one visit to conquer all that this capital city can offer, but with great public transport on buses and the London Underground, you'd be surprised how much you can pack in to a London city break. Visit the iconic Big Ben at the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, then cross the bridge to London's South Bank, home to Madame Tussauds, Sea Life London Aquarium and the renowned London Eye. Continue further down the South Bank and see an exhibition at Tate Modern or catch a performance at Shakespeare's Globe, or hop on a boat tour along the River Thames and cruise under the iconic Tower Bridge. In the evening, dine in style in Covent Garden, sip cocktails in Soho or watch a live theatre show in the West End. This is already an incredible itinerary without even mentioning some of the city's other world-famous landmarks, such as the Natural History Museum, the Shard, the Tower of London, the British Museum and, of course, Buckingham Palace. The bright lights of this big city shine brightly all year round, whether you're visiting the cosy Christmas markets in the winter months or sipping a cold pint in one of the many beer gardens in summer. Our properties provide the perfect base no matter the weather, so book your London cottage holiday today!
