STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
For anyone who likes their home comforts, or fancies a taste of living like a local in a swish part of London, these cosy apartments, complete with kitchens, are ideal. I stayed in No1 The Mansions, Kensington. Everything you need to feel right at home is here, but without the housework – a daily housekeeping service takes care
of that.
SLEEPING MATTERS
Apartments vary in size, from studios to four bedrooms.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
You will never go hungry in Kensington. Step out the Tube and on to Earls Court Road and you can choose from cheap to pricey, stopping at most points in between. Just to make Scots feel especially at home, there is even a Greggs. In one of many nice touches, if you stay four nights or more a welcome breakfast basket is waiting in your kitchen alongside tea, coffee, and fresh milk and juice in the fridge. Friendly staff are on hand during the day to answer any questions.
ABOUT THE AREA
You are only a short Tube ride away from the main sights, with the Kensington apartments on the District and Circle lines. As an extra treat, travel first class with Virgin Trains. You will arrive fed,
watered and relaxed, right in
the heart of London.
DEALS
Studio apartments start from £170
a night. Apartments also available
in Mayfair, Edinburgh, Inverness, and Cheltenham.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
