Check-in for all apartments is 2PM, and check-out is 11AM. Depending on availability, the apartments may be available for early arrival or late check out, but this can only be assessed on an ad-hoc basis on the day in question. We pride ourselves on a personal level of service so do get in touch and give us a call if you’d like to arrange a different check in or check out time and we’ll do our best to accommodate your requirements.

If you require guaranteed early arrival or late departure, you can arrange to extend these times, for which an extra half day’s rent is payable. If you need to store your suitcases whilst you wait for your apartment to become available, the House Manager will be happy to secure these for no extra charge.

The House Manager will be available to answer all queries from 8AM to 9PM, and at any other times in the case of emergencies.

Our London serviced apartments are cleaned daily from Monday to Friday. The cleaner will change linen and towels twice a week.

All our London serviced apartments are fully furnished and equipped, with kitchenware, washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, iron and ironing board, as well as an extra double sofa bed in each room. A flat screen TV, DVD player, stereo, hairdryer and safe are also included as standard. A cot or high chair for small children can also be added, with no extra cost.

You can expect to find a fully complimentary starter pack in your room on the first day, complete with a bottle of water, coffee, milk, sugar, biscuits, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, shampoo, shower gel and soap.

We’re pretty sure that’s everything you need to get you started, but if there’s anything else you need, we’ll be happy to arrange for groceries or other amenities to be purchased before you arrived, the cost of which will be later added to your invoice.

Of course – fully complimentary WiFi is available in all our apartments. Your log in details and password will be clearly displayed in the flat.

There is a lift available in both our Clarges Street and our Shaw House serviced apartments, so those with less mobility will have no trouble accessing them.

The closest London Underground station to our apartments is Green Park, which is located on the Jubilee, Victoria and Piccadilly lines. The station is within easy walking distance of all our apartments; 5 minutes’ walk from Shaw House and just three minutes’ walk from Clarges Street.

If you plan to arrive by car, there are some public access car parks available nearby, at Chesterfield House, or Carrington Street.

If you’re arriving at the airport, we’d also be happy to arrange an airport transfer for you. If you give us your flight details, number of people travelling and a contact number, we’ll happily arrange the whole thing on your behalf.
