Suggestions for renting an apartment in London
I am planning a trip to London in July for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids, ages 8 and 11). The hotels are looking too expensive and the rooms look small. I'm thinking of renting an apartment for 1 week and have looked into VRBO. Dh is leery of renting an apartment as we don't really know the areas. We've never been to London. We'd like something that is close to come of the popular tourist attractions and also close to transportation - either bus stop or the underground/tube. If you have any suggestions or recommendations, we would appreciate it very much.
We hope to get to Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, London Eye, Shakespeare's Globe, British Museum, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, St. Paul Cathedral. And if time permits, we hope to watch a family friendly show/play.
TIA!
