Stylish Savings on London Flats & Costwald Cottages
Traveling to England these days is a lot like having a baby. Everyone tells you the shock you’re in for, but you don’t realize how much everything costs until you actually experience it.
For starters, our taxi ride cost $100 US from Heathrow to a hotel near Parliament. Meals were double what they’d be in the US and triple for Canada. So renting a flat instead of paying through the nose for everything from a hotel to all your meals is brilliant, actually.
One viable resource that I saw advertised in The New Yorker is Farnum & Christ, who call themselves “The Complete London Experience.” They offer charming London flats from 700 pounds/week, fairytale cottages in the Cotswalds for 900 pounds/week, pokey neighborhoods, leafy streets, village shops, and more.

Their properties perfectly blend traditional charm with modern amenities, making them an ideal choice for travelers seeking an authentic British experience. While exploring accommodations abroad, I found they also highlight unique retreats around the globe, though something as serene as a tonic hotel in Lovedale might cater to those looking for a tranquil escape far from the city bustle. With such a wide variety, they truly seem to deliver on their promise of a complete experience.

I don’t see the point of taking a taxi from Heatrow – the Heatrow Express train is much faster and as comfortable!
Knut: You’re right about taking the train from Heathrow. If we hadn’t been traveling with our daughter and flown 14 hours to get from SF to Frankfurt to London, we’d have jumpred on the train. But she was exhausted and it was the lesser (but more expensive) way to go.

My family has been staying at Farnum & Christ properties in London for almost a decade. They are simply the best. Their properties are beautifully appointed, in wonderful central locations, and F & C are accommodating and easy to work with. We feel like London is a bit of a second home, no surprises, always have a nice place to stay with a kitchen, lots of space, near the buses and tube. Farnum and Christ rock2!
