How to Find Corporate Accommodation in London

If you have never done it before the prospect of finding corporate accommodation in London can seem like a daunting task. But it doesn’t have to be. In fact, you have a variety of ways to secure appropriate corporate accommodations and in this post, the team at Luxury Serviced Apartments will guide you through the process.

How to Find Corporate Accommodation in London: Getting Started

Before you dive into the search process it’s essential that you define what you need and your budget. If you don’t do this rudimentary prep work you will indeed have a long and sometimes frustrating time attempting to nail down business accommodations. That said, here are some of the most important things to consider when searching for corporate accommodation in London.

• Location: Location will be one of the main drivers of cost. While The City and Canary Wharf are popular choices for business people staying in London, you will also pay a premium for being so close to the financial centre of The City. Southwark, on the other hand, is about as close to The City as Canary Wharf is and you will find it much more financially accommodating.
• Budget: It’s important to be ever-aware of your budget when arranging accommodations in London because the British capital is one of the world’s most expensive cities and costs can get out of hand quickly. If you are looking to optimise value consider a serviced apartment instead of a room at a high-end hotel.
• Amenities: Most business travellers don’t hit the sack the minute they return to their room. They work, often until the wee hours of the morning. And they want to stay physically sharp. It’s important to have a list of your must-have amenities at the ready when looking for corporate accommodation in London and to make sure the room/suite/serviced apartment you choose checks all the boxes.

Keep in mind too that not every type of accommodation will cater to every length of stay. Some want long-term stays only. Others limit stays to a week or two weeks.

Business Accommodation Provider Options

Now that we have the prep work out of the way, let’s take a look at some of your options regarding how to find corporate accommodation in London.

Option 1: Corporate housing providers

There are a number of companies out there that specialise in arranging corporate accommodations. A quick internet search for “corporate housing in London” will bring up a plethora of options. These companies typically have teams of customer service reps trained to help you find the right accommodations, for a fee. In London, two of the best-known are Marlin Apartments and FarAwayHome. But they are hardly the only ones.

Option 2: Airbnb

Airbnb offer a wide range of what are typically privately owned apartments and houses that can be rented by tourists or business travellers. Many of these places offer a decent array of amenities including broadband internet and self check-in. It must be said, however, that Airbnb tends to be a bit of a crap shoot, with some rentals going above and beyond and others falling well short of expectations.

Option 3: Luxury Serviced Apartments
