Whether you’re traveling for work or leisure, every solo female traveller will have a vision of what makes the perfect trip to London.
For some of us, this might involve a beautiful place to stay with luxury details such as room service, private outdoor space or custom interior décor. For others, it might be more about location – being close to premium shopping centres, world-famous landmarks or the city’s very best restaurants. But for all of us, safety and security will be – and should be – the top priority.
The Rise of Solo Female Travel
Travelling solo as a female can feel daunting, regardless of whether you’re a seasoned globetrotter or new to solo travel. Yet numerous research studies show that the number of UK women embracing solo travel abroad has steadily increased over the past few years.
For women across the world, London is one of the most popular destinations for solo travel thanks to its relative safety, abundance of cultural experiences and excellent transport system.
But in a vast city like London where everything moves at such a rapid pace, making sure that you have certain measures in place ahead of your travels is important to ensure your stay runs smoothly and that you feel comfortable and safe throughout your trip.
Choose a Company that Prioritises your Safety
The first step is to choose accommodation from a trusted company with a solid reputation that goes above and beyond when it comes to guest safety. Our team at Luxury Serviced Apartments is skilled and experienced in handling a range of queries from solo female travellers to ensure a seamless and peaceful trip. We support our clients in realising their travel dreams and embracing the beauty of travelling solo – the freedom, flexibility and escapism far away from the toll of day-to-day life.
Among a range of measures designed to secure your peace of mind, we liaise with travellers prior to arrival to arrange a personalised check-in time that suits your plans. While a team is available throughout your stay, we can also answer any pressing questions before your arrival. Planning ahead is one of the most effective ways to ease security concerns and ensure a smooth, stress-free trip from the outset.
Many of our properties also come complete with on-site support such as 24-hour reception, secure entry systems and 24/7 concierge service/guest support to promptly assist with any security concerns or handle special requests. Having staff on-site to provide assistance helps make your trip as comfortable as possible and offers reassurance that a professional team is on hand to handle any emergencies – or simply make your stay more comfortable.
Embrace the Freedom of Solo Female Travel
We also recognise that we all need and deserve a break. Serviced apartments offer the perfect balance between safety, security and privacy – once we are confident that our clients’ safety is properly accounted for, we offer a range of amenities to help you relax and really enjoy the solo time.
Whether this means offering recommendations on the best cultural events local to your apartment, advising on safe travel around the city after dark, arranging access to spa treatments or selecting an apartment with room service for that extra indulgence, we will help you to explore and enjoy the city safely and confidently.
Recreate the Comfort of Home
Another of the best ways to feel safe and secure when travelling far from home is to recreate that sense of comfort we feel in our own home. This means feeling comfortable and content from the moment you enter the apartment and letting yourself relax in a space designed to enhance your experience in every aspect.
Our luxury serviced apartments are designed to strike the perfect balance between sophisticated luxury and homely warmth with features on offer including Nespresso coffee machines, luxury bed linen, fully-equipped kitchens and 24-hour maid service. For those seeking a deeper level of wellness, some of our premium properties also offer access to on-site gyms and spa facilities.
Some of our apartments also include features such as a direct phone line and CCTV for that extra level of security and to help you feel even more connected with the outside world, all without compromising on privacy.
Safety from the Outside In
Choosing an apartment in a location that feels most comfortable and accessible for your personal needs is key. All of our serviced apartments offer excellent access to transport links and some of London’s best-loved attractions to support an easy and comfortable trip.
While luxury hotels tend to dominate in tourist-heavy areas across London, the location of serviced apartments such as those in our collection is more strategic and thoughtful. Our apartments are all situated in central locations but each offers a different type of experience – from the leafy, residential surroundings of Chelsea and Kensington to the glitzy areas of Mayfair and Marylebone and the historic business districts of St Paul’s and Chancery Lane.
Exploring London with Confidence
If you’re a solo female traveller and you’re looking for some support and advice on how to navigate the city safely, our team will be happy to help. We will help you choose a luxury serviced apartment that ticks all the right boxes – safety, security, location and indulgence.
Whether you’re travelling for a week or a month, looking for the ultimate luxury shopping trip, a cultural adventure or a deep dive into every type of experience that London has to offer, we will find the perfect serviced apartment for your needs. All you need to do is give us a call on +44 (0)203 790 7766.
