European destinations have become so expensive lately that hotel prices look like double the US rates. Well get over the sticker shock by paying half those prices at our charming, selected London B&Bs.
These properties are private residences in some of the best locations at rates much lower than you would expect! London B&B room rates run around $180 -$210 based on location and facilities. These prices are fully inclusive of breakfast, applicable taxes and service charges. |

Here you can sample some of the
finest Bed and Breakfast properties in London where you may stay as a paying guest. We
have a select inventory of private family residences many of which are downtown. |
|
 |
At our B&B's you will also enjoy the
social and cultural benefits of meeting charming hosts willing to share their local
knowledge with you. This is what sets London B and B apart from package tours or
just "somewhere to rest your head".
It's like having a personal guide to the city included in the price! |

How to make
a selection
Click on the map to the left and then click again on the location you want to
visit, then choose the property that interests you, simply by scrolling through the photo
gallery. If you already |
|
 |
know the neighborhood where you want to
stay make your selection from the list on the right. |
|
Before making a
reservation.
To make your stay as comfortable as possible, you should consider some of the
differences between expensive full service hotels and private family homes that offer
B&B in |
|
 |
|
London
in the original European style. Our trained staff will be able to assist you with these
points and guide you through your reservation with your comfort and convenience in mind.
London Bed & Breakfasts are not the same as in the U.S., where B&B has
become increasingly associated with the country inn type of accommodation, with
housekeepers, staff and often with an in-house restaurant. In the U.K.these are known as
country house hotels. |
The European B&B residences are private family
homes, often older properties, sometimes several hundred years old, and consequently may
have smaller rooms than you are used to at home or in modern hotels. |
|
 |
|
Other
features you should not expect are air conditioning or elevators unless they are
specifically mentioned. You will find that our top-rated homes have attached
"en-suite" bathrooms, however at a number of homes the private bathrooms may be
adjacent to the bedrooms or a few steps away along the hall. An obvious but often
overlooked difference between hotels and staying at private family homes, is that of
service; there is no desk clerk on duty to await your arrival, so it is vital that the
family knows what time to expect you, as they have daily family business to attend to.
|
The worst possible way to start your visit is to
arrive unexpectedly and find no-one at home to greet you. We will ask you for these
details along with relevant flight details. You will be given a key to their home |
|
 |
|
and
this is a courtesy that should be respected. So if you return late at night, please be
considerate of other guests and the host family. The rooms are regularly serviced, varying
from home to home, but there is no room service. You are staying "en
famille", not at a full service hotel.
The real plus on the service side, is that you will be
staying with hosts who really know their neighborhood and can give you the best
independent advice about places to eat, shop and visit, unlike hotel staff who dont |
|
 |
live locally and dont know about these things or
perhaps get some kind of kick-back for referrals.
|
Wouldn't it be great having your own local source of
up-to-the-minute insider information about what's going on? Your hosts can give you useful
nuggets of information, such as the many delightful specialty shops in the |
|
 |
little known Burlington Arcade in
Piccadilly (above) or the half price theatre ticket booth in Leicester Square. Nobody
wants to wait in line overseas anymore than at home and your hosts at the London B&B
can help you make the most of your trip, when time is at a premium. |

| Have a wonderful time in
London! |
